[Tutorial] Lesson #5: "Rockabilly Double Stops"

This bend instantly gives a solo a rollicking "roots of rock 'n roll" vibe. Use this lick to anchor your playing in rock's "turn up the jukebox" past.

I can see what your doing hun... your using lines that originally started off as Rockabilly licks. You do it well. Keep rockin!

@HillbillyKat88 Much appreciated, thank you!!

How dare she mention rockabilly in the context of that row. Bloody terrible.

[kristinparkermusic]

@RhandirQH lol for "bloody." Yes a lot of people have been rather miffed at my using the term rockabilly. What I hoped people would understand is that I'm not playing rockabilly, it's more that I'm demonstrating a lick that has roots in rockabilly. Hence the nickname so indicated in the vid title.

That is nowhere near Rock A Billy, it's just plane rock. Totally different music altogether.

@kristinparkermusic That's fine! I'm new to music tech though, so don't quote me on that... Haha yes I was going to question your choice of distortion, then realised you explained it in a previous comment :) Keep it up!

[kristinparkermusic]

@vitalsfading Oh, thank you, that's very kind of you to say :)

[vitalsfading]

@kristinparkermusic you just earned my respect, it takes a big person to take criticism even constructive. Nice playing keep it up

[kristinparkermusic]

@Jamminda Ah, I see. Thank you very much for the explanation! I'm glad you liked the video in spite of the horrible distortion effect on my guitar, lol.

[kristinparkermusic]

@vitalsfading Thanks for watching and I wholeheartedly agree.  My amp was broken so I'm literally playing through my computer speakers via garageband. Everything I recorded that day should be re-recorded now that my amp's back from the shop.

good playing but if your going to do instruction a little less distortion might be helpful
