Rockabilly Guitar Lesson in the style of Brian Setzer

[RodrigoXAgujas]

lol, I have the same tshirt :D

[tommyv331992]

You're an amazing teacher, Damian! I've got it memorized completely in just a half hour of practicing, now I just need to work on the speed and picking. That whole solo was very daunting at first, but your short video actually broke it down so well, this was such a fast learn. Keep playing and keep teaching, you're quite awesome. And if you haven't listened to the song Nine Lives by the Stray Cats, enjoy that one and possibly make a lesson on that one! Thanks for sharing this!

[Damianblf]

@tommyv331992 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Keep on rockin..

sweet playing, man! Diggin' that Descendents shirt!!

[LordSauceness]

Excellent. I love the rockabilly thingy and especially Brian Setzer, of which you do a great job! .... yer inspiring me to get some of these rockin' licks under my belt. {I'd love to support your efforts, but I got this thing about learning by ear. :-) ---besides being laid off at the moment! }

[measomo]

Great shirt !!

[Guitar1hero23]

hey man, nice video, i have a question. why is there tape on the two switches at the top?

[Damianblf]

@Guitar1hero23I just put tape on the switches becasue I get wild and crazy when I play live, and I get very aggressive, and on this guitar I would always seem to be bumping into the switches and changing the tone in the middle of a song. So with this I solved the problem..

[Guitar1hero23]

@Damianblf oh ok, i do the same thing. i pick hard , and always end up knocking down the toggle switch on my strat

[ipimpsatan77]

Decendents fuck yeah!!! love your videos man especially this one you really broke it down for the average string plucker more so then in the other ones. This is a good starter one for us beginners then we can move on to your other videos. Thanks alot man

[SuperCrackerjacks]

Love your Stuff.

[dilligaf1942]

Little too much reverb or delay going on or whatever you had there, but nice job otherwise dude

[FatEddie003]

Awesome

[TheOAWplayer]

Sweet playing. I really enjoyed it. Thanks

[OrangeHollowBody]

hiya - love your vids. one question why the tape on the pick up selector and mud switch?

[johnnykaka66]

this is by no means easy...I can't play worth a damn but I wanna learn Rockabilly in the worst way...thanks for the lesson!

[j193bob]

Thank you very much for taking up your time posting these lessons. It has been a tremendous help for me!

[noah3216]

Awesome lesson! Forget the critics. Thanks for your time and effort. Your lessons are really helping me out, I am loving this style of playing. I am still starting out and recently picked up a Godin hollow body guitar to fit the sound and it plays awesome and fit the budget! 

[RidiculousKitty]

Forget the nasties, great lesson! You have no idea what a huge and positive effect you have on us aspiring guitarist. To have access to your lessons is a gift. Keep em coming. I love them. Thanks for taking the time. Best of luck.

[MegaGlenn1234]

been playing now for six months love the lessons picking up quite a bit

good stuff

[MarcusRegno]

Best lesson ever! Tnx!!!!

[thestilettos777]

Yo Damion, thanks for all the great vids...you not only have a major knowledge of many styles, but it's great to see that rockabilly is where your heart is and you have enough passion to share it with us. I have only playing lead for a few years...but your vids have helped me move forward in my playing by leaps & bounds!...thanx man...

[fivestander]

loved it 5*****

[vitovitale]

Good feel nice playing.. a bit heavy on the reverb.. seems to muddy things up though. ... just my opinion though.. nice playing

[kontinu]

great stuff! are your videos slower and more instructional? I have a hard time following all the notes when your trying to explain them

[topher8096]

GREAT job ! i wish i could play something like rock-a-billy and not just mindless rock or metal.

[feydx1x]

great lesson..forget the douche that has no clue..most musician s are too busy judging to ever really appreciate playing..great lesson....

[mazak70]

cool T dude!...play "Sour Grapes"!

[elzeko]

Nice stuuf. I'll use it in my playing. Than you for a great lesson.

[MIchigan4x4]

your shirt might be one of the worst bands ever! but the guitar sounds good

[niblos]

Got to grab one of these after Christmas. Superb stuff, Damian.

[markedmanrecords]

Cheers Damian. Thanks for the insight! All the best, Joe Solo.

[stillrun]

Hey Damian, i order your DVD a coupe of days ago, i can't wait to get it!!

I'm having a little trouble figuring out the quick run near the end of the song (5:05 blues run) Are you using hammer ons? it would be great if can break it down slower, possbly in a video response.

cheers, Alex

[Animigo]

Really nice video lesson...again. Thanks.

[bulkrivero]

Muchas gracias, thank you very much

[1filsduroi]

@bulkrivero

mirelurk1 is way to dark to even be a musician, I have never seen such a low level

comment. Let's forgive mirelurk1 for he doesn't know what he is doing.

[Jakebones13]

mirelurk1 is just jealous of your skills mate - keep up the good work.

[DPA169]

Thanks for sharing Damian, I've learned a lot watching your vids. Now I'm getting the DVD 4 sure

[Damianblf]

@mirelurk1 Ok dude,I usually just remove comments that are rude,but I hate doing that because it says comment removed,and everyone wonders why it was removed. But your comment is really rediculous. I share a small home with my wife and daughter.There are obviously going to be certain things around the house that are not of my particular interest.Thanks for the comment and have a good day

[SpitBucket17X]

@Damianblf mirelurk1 is just jelous that he cant rock the shit out of the guitar like you can lol, exelent job

[pitbull8myguitar]

@Damianblf wow..... after you schooled that Gretsch on how rockabilly should sound all that asshole could muster was a comment about a poster? jeez.  Absolutely kick ass playin man.

[lickmyballsho]

@Damianblf :

In regards to mirelurk1, It's not really his fault, it's the inbreeding.

Thanks for posting a great video !

[Abz90L]

has your guitar been shot?

[hollowphaser]

do you have like giant hands or something?! that descending run before it heads back into the A chord is impossible for me to do with my ring finger.

[shjhdhah]

Damian.....great job!!!! what I have been looking for......all I ask for is ......more please!

[dfrye4]

5:11 sounds like there's a pull off to the open string

[octoface4]

[Damianblf]

[octoface4]
