New To Rockabilly Guitar? Start Here!

[@grassyknollblues]

Damian has forgotten more on the guitar than I ever knew. He is wonderful

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@BenMartinBox]

You're one of my favourite Rockabilly guitar players. This isn't a comparison but for me you're on a par with Setzer, Eddie, Haley, Perkins, Buddy Holly. Keep on rocking. Stay safe.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@user-nz5em5wg2h]

Thanks brother from Warren. 😎 in England. I really enjoy your teaching experience.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Thank you Damian, for indeed making all of your lessons with love. It is definitely not lost on us. From the background on the song, the people involved, the places involved, and the influences involved…. It’s all just incredible …..then the great lesson itself, the tour of the local area, and your words of wisdom. So entertaining, so educational, so inspiring. It’s definitely time well spent (on both sides). Thank you!

[@boomerdell]

Well said!👍🏽

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so very much my friend. I really appreciate it. Cheers :)

[@ramoncranert8177]

Damian's rockabilly lessons are like Cracker Jacks and the little travelogue snippets at the end are like the prize inside. Yes, I am also a fan of Cedar Key and it's really handy to my place up here in Levy County. 😀🎸

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying the content. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@fixins]

I come for the lesson but I stay for the final thoughts.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for stopping by. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@BlackRaven156]

Damian, your catalog of lessons is a treasure trove for any guitarist. I can imagine whole bands and setlists being formed just based on the lessons you've provided us. It's an empowering channel for sure! Thank you!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying the lessons. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@johnhastings8640]

I love your happy attitude, Your lessons are top notch! thank you.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the lessons :)

[@JB-rw9xt]

Sweetwater just delivered my Gretsch single cut hollow body. I decide that life is too short and I need to learn some rockabilly so I'll be tuning into this KZbin channel a lot. Thanks Damian!

[@Damianblf]

Congrats on your new guitar! Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@johnpandolfino8663]

[@Damianblf]

[@victorg9412]

Love your videos Damian - especially the history behind the songs - and the lessons are even lovelier. You've helped me improve my guitar playing so much.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Glad you're enjoying the lessons :)

[@j.s.9536]

I´m so happy I found your channel.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching. Much appreciated :)

[@Frank-in-NY]

Hey Damian...Watch this lesson on Party Doll yesterday. That's a tune I vaguely remember hearing as a kid. Oddly enough my wife and I went to the supermarket this morning and they were playing Party Doll on the store system. I did listen for the solo, and it sounds like he picked it instead of a pull-off. Anyway, thanks for the lesson, great stuff!

[@Damianblf]

What a coincidense to hear it at the store just after this lol. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@SteveMahoney]

Love your lessons. Damian seems like he would be a super cool hang and friend.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Steve. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@tavotheflatblackthrillers3500]

that guitar is so clean and sweet, of course your playing brings it all out. Youre always giving me g.a.s. ! :)

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Tavo. The guitar is like showroom new. It must have ben played a little bit and then sat under a bed for 50 years or so :)

[@viperBSG]

Thanx Mr. Bacci, Yet another class act.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Cheers :)

[@edmundheutinck3162]

As always very inspiring. The song aswel as the touristic information

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Cheers :)

[@lucasolari3756]

yeeeeh, I always loved this song! finally here the EXACT solo is played! around there are tabs not completely correct...! good the rhythm part lesson!

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for watching. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@harriswarner3458]

I was 13 years old in 1957 and loved that tune soon as I heard it. Sounds crazy with today's music but it was banned by a lot of radio stations. Lyrics were too suggestive. Good video and as you said guitarists don't need to be flashy to sound good! Jimmy Bowen also had a few hits of his own during that time frame.

[@Damianblf]

I can only imagine how suggestive it seemed back then. Not something Parents would want to hear their teenagers saying. Cheers & thanks for watching :)

[@wearytraveler2164]

Another great lesson Damian!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@angelinamendivil9516]

Thank you for such a wonderful lesson. I have been thoroughly enjoying your channel.

Love the background info on the song and the tourist guide stuff. Greetings from Vancouver.

[@Damianblf]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching :)

[@boomerdell]

Damian Bacci is a genuine treasure. Superb musician and performer, outstanding instructor, knowledgeable historian, great storyteller, and overall wonderful decent and loving person. Hooray for Damian!🌟

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. It really means a lot to me. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@user-lw5wc4fq3u]

Great lesson as usual. 😎 I wanted to add…that guitar sounds and looks amazing… very cool!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much :)

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Wow, I haven't listened to this one for about 45yrs 😅. Nice one boss! Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🎸✅️

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Cheers :)

[@gianluigirastelli8900]

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much :)

[@chalyjudge7749]

You are awesome! Thank you! 👍😎❤️

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Glad you enjoed the lesson :)

[@bluesybruce]

I have played that solo for years, but I had forgotten where it came from. Thanks for reminding me. You are still the best on-line tutor around.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@user-no1cares]

Great lesson. Thank you Damian.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@charlesvachon5838]

Excellent as usual ...thanks Damian!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Charles :)

[@kylemoran4343]

Awesome lesson ! Back in 2020 Hurricane Eta made landfall around Cedar Key as a major tropical storm and then last year Hurricane Idalia did a lot more damage with major high storm serge. Check out the brewery in Gulf Port. Fun little town, and close to home !

[@Damianblf]

Thanks Kyle. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@Tony-os6ib]

Thank you Damian!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Cheers :)

[@peteJoseph-x3h]

Thanks Damian.

[@Damianblf]

[@jhn1987]

I was just listening to this song this morning and now I see this wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@Damianblf]

Pretty cool coincidence. Cheers & thanks for watching :)

[@tombeckner404]

Wow! Nothing like a history lesson to help with inspiration to learn the song.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Tom :)

[@FilmFlam]

Great fun song.

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for watching :)

[@JellyrollHorton]

Another fun lesson and always inspiring presentation. This time, the Cedar Key clip was a special bonus. I have had the Ultimate Rockabilly Guitar lessons for about ten years, and I still have a lot to learn from them. Public Note: Damian has not solicited my comments in any way. He's just a great teacher and a great guy, and I don't mind telling everyone that.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@MrJudo2go]

My grandson and I love the music that you perform and teach. We have two of your video's. Man I know that it has to be a lot of time and work but if you ever produce a true beginners video set of lessons I'd buy it. Thanks for your posting.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for all the support. I really do appreciate it :)

[@sturusk3620]

This is about the best video I’ve seen. Brilliant.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Cheers :)

[@rocco8222]

Great tune!

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for watching :)

[@andrerock6754]

Thanks very much, Damian! Fabulous lesson!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@gregdavis4028]

Perfect timing.....beginner-ish guitar player and I was looking for an easy Rockabilly lesson after attending Reverend Horton Heat's service on Friday @ Jannus. Bonus: Never been to Cedar Key and it looks like a good get-away weekend trip. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

[@Damianblf]

Awesome. Hope thje lesson was helpful. In the late 90s & early 2000s my band with open for Reverend Horton Heat when they played in Orlando and in St. Pete. :)

[@LukePlaysUke]

I love all the Graves-era Misfits representation going on here. And the guitar playing (obviously). ;-)

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. I can remember it like yesterday even though it was 24 years ago. The Misfits were playing in Orlando and Dr. Chud and Graves walked off stage and quit. The next day I saw them play in Tampa with Jerry singing and Robo filling in on drums. The show was alright at best. About 2 years later my band opened up for Graves. He had a really good band backing him. If I recall correctly we played a bunch of Florida shows with him :)

[@toddflowers8052]

Thanks Damian !! Happy Sunday from Sarasota 😎🎸🌅🌴🌴

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Todd. Keep on rockin' buddy! :)

Bravissimo!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@penelopeghiruto3957]

Krishna core was a thing, with everyone from Saetia to Orchid touring again Shelter might as well get back together, it’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen them.

[@Damianblf]

I can remember seeing Shelter here in this area about 24 years ago at a large punk venue. There was only 15 people there at best. I felt bad for them. But here's a positive. Youth of Today played Tampa a few months ago and it was a full house! :)

Damian What is the model and year of the Gretsch guitar you are using in this video? Jim

[@Damianblf]

Hi Jim. It's a 1963 Gretsch Clipper :)

[@ernief1889]

Love it! Steal from you all the time. Do you ever listen to Wayne Hancock?

[@Damianblf]

I was just listening to him on a drive home from dinner the other day! :)

[@ernief1889]

@@Damianblf Double A Daddy! Your videos are so very helpful. How bout ol Grady Martin and Marty Robbins? Keep it coming. I bought some lessons from you on CD a while back. Had trouble down loading or something and you sent me CD's. :)

[@lamper2]

Maybe teach Rocket in my Pocket unless you already have. NRBQ version is best, better than the J.Lloyd original. 4:52 Soon as i saw they got involved with ROULETTE i thought uh oh Morris Levy! did they get screwed out of money by him?
