Rockabilly Licks - Fast Eddie - Pt1 Blue Suede Shoes

[LegendarySkoolBoy]

i've always dreamed of performing both baseline and mini solos/ riffs simultaneously, this is just mind blowing. tough stuff, this

[desperadoxl]

Hi Eddie, can you please do a demo on Gene Vincents' Crazy Legs, i just want to know if it is an A Shape you begin with 5th Fret, or double stop on E and A 5th fret.

Thanks, love your Riffs Brian UK

[LtCmdrData45]

Simply a beautiful rendition!

[killerdiller69]

that is a epiphone bigspy.? i have same.

[FastEddietube]

@killerdiller69 . This guitar is a japanese hondo. The bigsby is authentic USA and was fitted by myself. I have just purchased a chinese epiphone casino with P90's on. I have moved the bigsby shown here over to the new casino.

[killerdiller69]

@FastEddietube okay =D

[cornoholio44]

Shit, You LOOk like GORDON RAMSEY!!!

[BlueSuedeTom]

FANTASTIC!

[pmay222]

blue suede shooz..?

[sjoerddenouden]

me2

[popaoomowmow]

ah im just too dumb to do it

[gurkensuppe]

and what inversions are those???? i want to play that too :(

[FastEddietube]

The A is the first position E Bar shape. The D7 is A shape bar as well as the shape that i think of as the C7 shape This goes for the E7 as well

[gurkensuppe]

which scale do you use for soloing?

is it the a minor?

and what exactly is the base-line??

hope somebody can answer...

[FastEddietube]

I interpret the solo to be phrased as if playing A minor pentatonic shape using the shape as the basis for the double stop technique (think Chuck Berry). Bassline follows the chords in standard rockabilly style. For more chord info check out some of my other vids

[barakiji]

ok, im gonna take that other post back and say... 1 year and a half!

[srvblueslvr]

Great stuff! I'm a long time guitar player and this is as good as it gets! Keep posting....I'll keep listening!

[Kurnous]

i wish i could say i practice these things for hours but i get so damn exhausted after just 30 min :P

[lustandblood]

Dude... how many guitars do you have? They are all beautiful

[LiveLifeRight167]

You are really good. I would like some rockabilly music for a 1950's short film I am getting ready for festivals. Would you be interested in recording an original solo for it?

It would be for film credit only since it is a LOW budget film. But your name would get out there among the film community. I love your stuff and I listened to it up against my film and it is the perfect style.

[freddysouth]

great job!

[TroubleinZION]

Hey I have a gretsch too. Go gretsch...and you rock too.

[dannyodoul]

Fast Eddie is actually actually from England,

not Vermont.

He is a legend in the United Kingdom (very big in Wales) and looks as much as a surfer as any guitarist since Bob Weir.

Enjoy his soulful playing, reminds me of the M1 out of Chester on Monty Python.

Rock on Fast Eddie!

Sincerely,

The Legendary Danny O'Doul

[3rikkk]

Those guitars are my favorite to play!

next to Ibanez.

Great job!

[moosey62]

Hey Eddie thanks a lot mate.

Ps How many guitars have you told your wife you've got and where do you hide the others from her?

;-)

[Atomicflash500]

Lead playing needs work..but over all good.

[beatlesfan16]

I'm 16 and i love rockabilly. The simplisity of it is so amazing,and yet when you hear it it sounds like a big band. I love playing guitar the old way. Every time i hear that music it sends chills down my spine even though i've heard it a million times. Great job

[herrska]

i fuckin love it too dude, im 17. it aint dead.

[theerion]

thank god not all teenagers are into today's crappy mope-rock.... long live rockabilly and jump blues - you have good taste! :-)

[elvistheluke]

dude exact same here. Haha and i thought i was one of the only other teens who likes and plays rockabilly

[kondomi]

FUCKING awesome man !!!! :DDDDDDDD

[atfrehd]

i don't know why these people are proud of this kind of musik pfffffffff averybody knows that the origine is the BLUES so keep doin' the blues

[CatsFanatic78]

Rockabilly is a mix of blues and rock and roll.The white people took blues music,and added some Southern flavor and more speed to it,and they got Rockabilly,a more welcoming and open version of Blues.True Blues is all about the very soul of music,it's roots lie in the troubled past of slavery,and problems of everyday life.

[fabianspring]

Oh No.. I wanted to give you THUBS UP and acciedently clicked wrong one! SORRY... :(

[shokoroll]

dude i'm all about the blues (and more with my current love life), but i also play the guitar, and in this day and age when most everything is prefabricated, a nice riff from any genre pumps my blood. Good music makes me squeal.

[dummy1977]

go back to guitar center..

good stuff man, nice guitar too.. I envy rockabilly players, I have the hardest time getting a hang of it.

[gr8bluesgtr]

That is an awesome video. I'd love to be able to play like that!

[fretlad]

Eddie,

You do the rest of us a great service. Learning by ear from the record is a challenge for me but seeing the licks played gets me half way there. Thanks

Jake

[fasteddie78ia]

Dang!

I've been playing for 40 years and you make me sound like a piker! That's good stuff!!

[JeremyDJupiter]

i wonder if the beatles got something from this style

[VideoGuitarLessons]

cool licks - nice fingerpicked rhythm

[Watthiman]

Nice job! It would sound even better on a guitar that was in tune:) No offence, The guitar is slightly out of tune.

[FastEddietube]

No probs. My Hondo is my home practice guitar. I dare not show you the headstock. It split a couple of years ago. I glued it back together, but i realise the guitar has no value. I think that's why i like it so much, even though it's tuning is not very stable. I've learnt so many songs on it.

[TheEternalMagus]

Who cares man!

Its not noticably out of tune to the average ear, only a nitpicky music snob, Im not saying that is what you are. The true spirit of blues and rockabilly doesnt care if something is not perfectly in tune, but its got to be played with soul and a rock n roll heart, that is one matters, and this cat plays with heart! I would rather listen to him anyday than some showoff speedfreak whi is in perfect tune!

[van3kar]

Jeez - the tuning pegs are there for some reason, aren´t they...

[ProudMama07]

You made great use of that Hondo. I hear alot of Rockabilly in that styles of of course the late Carl Perkins and Elvis Presleys early sounds with Scotty Moore in there..great sample thanks for playing it for us

[redrocker72]

YOU ARE GREAT

and that´s that !

[Distephano]

this is some nice playing man. i wish i could pick like that. im barely starting to get the hang of it. how long have you been playing?

[FastEddietube]

36 years, so you can see there isn't a day goes by when i don't need to practice.

[Playboy6120]

Nice pickin'! What is that little banjo roll type thing on the A chord on the first bar of the solo?

[FastEddietube]

Hold your fingers on the B and E string on the fifth fret and roll on to the E note on the B string from the Eflat note. This is a common rock and roll lick

[johnnycashww]

nice,like the gretsch

[FastEddietube]

i waited a long time for the gretsch. I started rockabilly style on this Hondo 335 copy. I fitted the bigsby myself. Funnily though, this bigsby was made under licence but it is the best unit when compared with the gibson and gretsch.

[ROCKABILLYRULES]

Good job FastEddietube :)

[OverTheHills]

Great playing! Nice guitar too.

[perspellemann88]

Cool. Awesome playing you got going there.

5 stars! =)

[sabkno]

I love this kind of music. Great. Greets from Austria.

[FastEddietube]

Greetings to you. Its great to keep rockabilly alive.

[mudgelover159]

you suck

[FastEddietube]

Thanks for the comment. I'll work on it.

[ROCKABILLYRULES]

NO YOU SUCK! FastEddietube did a good job. You think you can do better? Show me :P
