Phil Hunt - Jerry Reed's Method, Tricks, Licks, & Secret's

[RenoDoctor]

Fine guitar playing, muzikman74. First ever time saw Jerry Reed was in "Smokey and the Bandit," assumed just some actor, not knowing was a guitar legend. I learned guitar via Hendrix, Page, Townshend, Howe, Lifeson, Halen, Clapton, Richards and more. Reed and Chet Atkins are beyond simply incredible. And why so great to hear players like Tommy Emmanual.

Did Jerry steal that from Mark Knopfler or did mark steal it from Jerry?

Phil,

Would just like to say thank you for your video's and for posting the one's of Jerry.

I think the world of Jerry's pickin' and just want to tell you to keep up the good work!

You sound great man!

[JavierTijuana]

How sweet sound you got fellow! You´ve got beautiful hands. What kind of guitar is this one?

[mtlyb]

Makes me appreciate Jerry and Chet's craft even more. Thank you.

[dent2313]

What kind of thumb pick are you using? I like the Fred Kelly Slick Pick and was wondering if thats what your using.

[muzikman74]

@dent2313 I use Fred Kelly Regular nylon thumbpicks. Sometimes I use the slick pick. I don't like the speed pick...it doesn't have enough "meat" on it to really thump down on the strings.

[FKNA1]

great lesson man! I picked up sheet music for The Claw by Jerry a while ago, damn hard to get down with speed, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the turn around after the D7 chord. Got any advice? I would appreciate it.

[muzikman74]

@FKNA1 Try to find a device to slow it down, that way you can hear all the notes being played. If you're not good with ear music....use tab. Then keep playing each measure over and over and over slowly until you can get it up to speed.
