Brian Setzer Licks You Must Know - w/tabs

[@glenfenderman]

I like that you put the tab up so that people with poor eyesight like me can see clearly

[@Damianblf]

You're welcome and thank you for watching. :)

[@andrasfekete5881]

Keep being positive! The world needs you.

[@XLBiker13]

Hey Damian, It was Brian Setzer licks that brought me to you about 7 years ago and you've never let me down with any of your lessons - enough so that I've bought all of your instructional DVD's (or downloads). As always, THANK YOU!

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Me too....

[@Damianblf]

Hi XLBiker13 Thank you so much for all the continued support throughout the years. I really appreciate it. :) Keep on Rockin' my friend DAMIAN

Damian "The Happiest Man On Earth" Bacci! He's in his awesome back room giving us a great lesson. Love it!! Thank you Damian for taking the time in putting this lesson together and for all you do!

[@stevedouglas7375]

Cool. Thanks Damian.

[@takethestagelv202]

Just beautiful! Great lesson!

[@BushidoPhoto]

Great tutorial as always! My only recommendation when teaching solos would be to show the key by outlining the chords so people can put the solo in other keys. Thank you!

[@paulsimmons5726]

Damian, you're the bomb! And you're right, Brian uses a bit of everything from the obvious Rockabilly, County, and Jazz. Brian Setzer plays every kind of music but makes it all sound like he wrote it off the cuff. Regardless of the song, he always sounds like himself. You're lessons are always well presented and easy to follow. Your quote about choices was spot on, you make your life through your choices!

[@Damianblf]

Hi Paul Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video buddy. Hope you find it useful. :) Cheers and Keep on Rockin' DAMIAN

Hi Damian from Italy! Thanks for the awesome videos. Anyway I would think that it could be very useful if in the tab would be also the rhythm section chord. just to learn where use that part of solo notes. Thanks a lot

[@marin4311]

Hot stuff.

[@keithchilvers7434]

Just recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying playing through and learning these licks. What would be the icing on the cake would be a little bit of explanation of where the licks are coming from - scale, arpeggio, and how they relate to the chord they're playing over. Some I can figure out, some leave me puzzled. I'm sure this would help us to use them in our own improvs.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching the lessons Keith & thanks for the feedback. :)

[@kurthammond6977]

Thanks Damian. Is the rockin' dude in the dorm room with the tats and the soul patch really you? Awesome. I just discovered your channel and it's great. Question/suggestion....most of the stuff is played over a straight 12 bar blues, but some have variations (2-5s, diminished subs) . Could you mention the chord changes and/or include them in the tabs. Thanks.

[@ismaelmelendez3074]

From Puerto Rico thank

[@Damianblf]

Hi Ismael Thanks for stopping by the channel :) Cheers DAMIAN

[@troma54]

Howdy! I'm a longtime fan. Just wanted to ask if you could call out the associated chords as you go through the solo. This would really help. thanks

[@duster71]

[@christiaandemarezoyens4720]

I can’t help but wonder what a losing personality a person must have to place a dislike on such a positive, cheerful and instructive video. Thanks for the lesson!

[@SoloDallas]

It's the losers that are jealous, usually. You wouldn't even want to see how they are in real life; not even sure they are alive. But anyway, I agree with you and I salute Damian!

[@simontromans2748]

Hi Damian, same as GINKBB below, be great to know which chords I'm outlining even tho some may be obvious. It would be the cherry on top your great lessons. I've never really got to grips with Rockabilly. Presently there's a kind of new years resolution coming together in my mind! Speaking of which hope you're having a good one so far and it continues well into the new year!

[@georgearagon2546]

Awesome lesson, Damien! Say, when are you taking us on another field trip?

[@Damianblf]

Thank you George I do have another fun field trip planned for the Fall hopefully. Stay tuned. Cheers DAMIAN :)

Hi Damian, I was wondering about the timing of the very first opening line with the hammer on from the 9 to 10 on the b string. Does it come in on the 4 & or the 2 &? Great lesson too!

I'm doing well. Thanks for checking out the new lesson and thank you so much for picking up my URG course. I really appreciate the support. It means a lot. Cheers DAMIAN :)

[@Guitarmalade]

Great. What chord progression are you playing over? Guitar players... I swear.

[@johndoe-ep7qk]

Looks like your basic 1-4-5 in A, straight up swing (16-bar?), with a II-V turnaround...

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Damian, I am working on your course URG. I have some troubles with fast double pull-off licks on the e and b string. Do you have tips how to work on this one to get it done. Thanks! I enjoy the course. Great job!

[@tommcnally3646]

Damian , your lessons are perfect, your chops are hot, your dance moves are cool, but are you really having as much fun as it appears?

[@Damianblf]

Life is what you make it and I also view life as a gift. I'm going to have as much fun as I can while I'm on this earth. And when life throws me lemons, I do my best to make lemonade out of it. I can't control what happens in my life, but I can control how I react to it. I simply choose to be happy. Thanks for the comment. :)

[@CGMODS]

Hi Damian , great lesson with some really tasty licks,can you please tell me the chord progression over this solo?

[@Damianblf]

Hello Carmine Both solo examples are played over a standard 12 bar blues progression DAMIAN :)

[@lucasdesouza4321]

What string gauge did you use?

[@amedeocanala3329]

Name of the solo’s song?

[@Channel-sw9ru]

Hey folks. If you have an idea how to get similar sound on a modelling amp plz let me know.

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Clean tone, maybe a deluxe reverb model, slap back delay, thats pretty standard in modelling amps, ( kinda quick return, not much repeats..many people do 'billy' with only one repeat...some like two or three....) and that will get you started....I dont use models, but when I'm in the mood, I also like just a bit of break up as well.....just to the point that a hollowbody will try to howl....feedback is your friend on a Gretsch....freakin LOVE that when I'm playing...

[@Channel-sw9ru]

Blaydrnnnr Thank you so much! A hollowbody is already here ;-) From a one man manufacture in Berlin. I have a Creambucker on the Bridge and a duesenberg p90 on the neck. Ihope that will get me that special sound. I already have the vox vt 20x. Thats why i asked for modelling amp. What amp can you advise?

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I have alot of amps, all for different reasons....As for your modelling amp, I looked it up. Thats a pretty sweet little rig! Says you have a DELUXE CL, which is what I think is a Fender Deluxe type of model. Thats a good start. It also says it has software to customize the models and save as a preset? Thats cool. Add just a touch of reverb, ( not much..just barely ) and some slap delay and that will get you started. I like to push the amp naturally by turning up the power, ( dont add distortion ) until it starts to growl alittle. Very little. As for a tube amp to start thinking of, Fenders are always a good choice and usually peoples first choice. But there are MANY amps out there that can do a good rockabilly tone. I know a guy who plays an older Peavey 1x15...and rocks the hell out of some Rockabilly...Its all going to depend on how much you have to spend. Fender Hot Rods are fairly cheap and tons of guys play those for Rockabilly, and for other things too....Blues Deluxe reissues ( about $500? ), or one of my favs, the Peavey Classic 30...( about $400?) I guess you might see where I'm getting at.. theres tons of good amps to start with, all depends on what you want to spend. Dont go crazy, theres lots of ways to get the sound your looking for. Boss makes a pedal, the Boss-FBM-1 that tries to sound like a Bassman, and if your going to think about recording, there are amp sims ( I use Bias AMP FX, and Scuffham Amps S-Gear ) that will get you almost any tone you want. But you'll need an interface to get your guitar signal into your computer. But thats a whole other thing...LOL So, come up with a budget, then start looking around. Vintage amps are freakin expensive. Trust me, I know. You dont need vintage to get a great rockabilly tone. There are even some killer solid state amps that have great tone...so look around...see whats in your budget, then ask around. Keep playing!!!

[@Channel-sw9ru]

Blaydrnnnr Your awesome dude. Thanks for your help and your time. I started to make the sound brighter first and my travis picking sounds more authentic. Little reverb and delay helped a lot. Its not the 100% Maybe 60% but with fine tuning i should get closer. I have to checkout some amps at musice store😁 shouldn be too big for my small mencave.

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Glad to hear it. Just keep tweaking it a little here and there. Dont be afraid to try different amp models as well. And I know how it is in a small space. Maybe think about an alternative in the future. ( a loadbox, or an interface with software so you can play into the computer.. no one can hear it.. ) I have a small home studio, in a 14'x14' room in my house. I have 6 different 2x12 cabs, 9 amps, 9 guitars, over a dozen mics...monitors...computer, interfaces, 3 pedal boards, boxes and boxes of not-yet-loaded speakers...etc...LOL its not easy to play a 50W or 100W amp through speakers in a house or an apartment. But there are alternatives. These days, with a PC, or Mac, an inexpensive interface, theres dozens of options for amp sim software, you can play silently into headphones, with the amps cranked up, and no body will hear it. I use several sims to record with, and trust me, many of these are almost better then the real thing, without taking days and days to get just the right tone...mic placement, a quite house, etc....I even have a piece of hardware, that allows you to play a real tube amp, through it, into the computer, with NO speaker cabinet, so its silent, but cranked up and you can either listen on headphones, or through the monitor speakers...( its a combination loadbox/attenuator/DI box/reamp box ) it can even attenuate your tube amp down so quite, it wont bother anybody, in case you want to play the amp WITH the cabinet. I use that hardware alot. My Hiwatts or my Marshalls, even my Fendars, cranked up, would be terribly loud, my neighbors would call the cops on me.. ( again ) . So there are options.. but of course, its takes a little money. But you CAN do it rather inexpensively. And record as well.... Good luck. Keep at it!

[@magicdaveable]

The next level? Hmmmm I learned Rockabilly from Bill Haley and the Comets and others back in the 1950's when I was a youngster. I learned to play swing by listening to Benny Goodman too. People sometimes say I sound like a Sax player. I tell them clarinet. My solo phrasing is very much similar to Goodman or Charlie Parker. I do at times play the blues like Eric though. It's difficult to listen and not pick up phrasing nuances from other guitarists. That's specifically why I listened to sax players and horn players like Bunny Berrigan and Harry James. Two great blues players. Copying the phrasing of woodwinds and horns helps develop uniqueness of style.
