Hi Damian, Your lessons are very inspiring! This style of playing can be quite intimidating. But your step by step guidance really helps to break through that wall. Thanx! And keep on with the life lessons because our world needs music and kindness. ❤ Regards Gertjan

I like how you explained some of the theory behind the licks, so we can understand WHY the licks work over particular chords, so we can use those tools to make our own licks, but what I really love is a double bound Tele!!!

Damian, you are the best. I get so much from all your lessons and you took my already significant love of jump blues, early R&B, and rockabilly - plus all the precursor and ancillary styles - and sent it to the moon, stars, and beyond. Your kindness, decency, and love for all shines through most of all. Thank you for all you do.🙏🏽

Great licks 🤠 Thanks. Also, I had already done some simple acts of kindness this morning while out and about before watching this video. 🙂 You and I are definitely on the same page my friend… I think my upbringing has me hardwired for that, but I also like the reinforcement I get each week when enjoying these lessons and final thoughts. You are doing good work Damian. My guess is you’re touching quite a few people and making the world a better place. Be well. 🤠
