My first car was a Chevette. Brown. My buddies called it “The Turd”. Haha great times back then! Thanks for the lesson!

[@andrewbroadhead1897]

So much great info from you at the moment Ford 🙏

[@davidsalinas4872]

I've been chasing your tone for a few years. and I finally realized it's all in the fingers because you could play any guitar and It sounds like you.

[@2011goldtop]

There you are 🙏🤷‍♂️🤟🏻🙏🙏

Simple as gum. Tasty notes. Yea Ford, more of rhythm ideas. Fantastic with touching lead melody in it. Black coffee for me since "Humble pie." Thanks.

6:53 hahaha ...I had a 1979 Monza 2-door staion wagon I bought from the original owner in S.F. in 1991. I drove that thing from San Francisco to Maine and back down south up through Texas to Seattle and back to Pennsylvania where it just gave up the ghost. That's back when cars were simple, I could keep that thing going with bailing wire, oil, water and fuel.

I’m Driving a 84 Datsun! Not sure it’ll make it far but fun as hell to drive 🤷‍♂️

[@ttexas1963]

You're on fire with these lessons my friend!👍 I saw you a few years ago on Brett Papa's channel. It's where the lightbulb went off for me on how to mix major and minor. You had a pedal that would feedback on certain notes. I've noticed even without that pedal, your notes seem to bloom at the right moment, almost like a sax player. I think a great lesson for you to teach would be how you approach getting your tone and that singing vibrato. Your tone is full of sustain and clear as a bell. I always get a lot of your playing. This stuff is gold.

[@2011goldtop]

Well shit! I will then ! Thank you 🙏

[@Jim-bo]

@@2011goldtop I second that emotion, serious tone

Drives me nuts everytime you do a video i gotta pick me gitfiddle up thanx ford

[@2011goldtop]

Haha!!sorry 🙏

[@andersestes]

Another great one. Been practicing the grove you taught couple days ago. The one in drop D. So freaking cool. The hard part for me is getting the timing right on that last lick. Another great lesson, Ford

[@2011goldtop]

Excellent !!

[@bryantuten1]

Ford, this is outstanding. I’ve been a fan pf your melodic playing since I first saw you doing demo equipment videos years ago. I have subscribed and look forward taking in your instruction as often as possible. Take it Easy. Bryan

[@2011goldtop]

Well thank you !!

Great motivation and lesson! What's good looper?

[@stevest3v3]

Absolutely loved the lesson, and the feel reminded me of Black Crowes/Rich Robinson's version of "Oh, sweet nuthin"

[@2011goldtop]

Awesome! Thank you

[@voyxu143]

"trademark licks" are essential. Great point man.

[@2011goldtop]

I believe so

[@Docmoro1]

I Love your tone

[@bluzzjazz]

That Collings is sweet! ...and so is your playing. I just missed out on a 360LT, thought about it too long and it sold the day I was going to buy it🙁 Now it's double the price! To console me though, I have two Heritage H-555s and they are phenomenal guitars.

[@2011goldtop]

I appreciate that! Heritage is great 👍

[@StarlightGuitars]

Excellent!🕶

[@jimbrennanguitar]

Your buttery smooth playing and chord choice makes me wanna listen to it again! Now that's good repetition 😃

Totally amazing lesson and ideas! Im super glad I found your channel and subscribed!! Is that just the amp or is there a pedal?! Amazing tone and playing!! Thanks Ford! 😊

[@2011goldtop]

It’s my Thurston drive + from Apollo. It slays :). Thank btw! Princeton reverb

[@chrismanko2134]

Googling that pedal now! Hopefully it has a skill button on it lmao!

[@FingerBlaster5000]

Amazing playing as always. Do you do private lessons on this type of playing via skype? I played for 35 years but the covid vaccine paralyzed my hands for some time. After 2 years ish i have worked my hands back to being able to play again but i lost a lot of my dexterity and rhythm. Trying to get it all back. I figure this is a perfect time to change the way i played in the past. I don't want to be just a mindless shredder anymore. I need melody in my life haha. Cheers.

[@2011goldtop]

I do ., hit me at [e-mail]

[@PastaPatate]

Ford what’s up big dawg. Those tracks you played live with Corey were amazing are those available anywhere?

[@2011goldtop]

Great playing...and the I35 sounding good! Do you chose it over the 335 much?

Try a teaspoon or two of bacon fat in your coffee. I don't know why but I can see what your doing and comprehend it better than on the other guy's videos...not dissing them, just reporting what's happening. Thanks man.
