A Technique EVERY Guitarist Should Know: The Walkdown!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

New lesson is up! Here are some voicings that make it easy to link chords and descend through a key. Enjoy!

[@argo_z]

Hey Darrell I've recently seen jack white explain his B bender Nashville telecaster on the jack white Facebook page and I've been dying to see a build please oh please make one with multiple benders/levers oh and a kill switch come on man we all know you're a sucker for a tele

[@aruvirk587]

Yes! Great lesson. Encore for more of these beginner-intermeriate lessons!

[@leighwilsonartist]

Thanks very much for these type of tutorials, getting to know different fingerings and these progressions when your a bit green at it definitely is a huge help, hope you keep making these from time to time.🙌👍

[@MrCheekytony]

Darrell, if I right D7 written on sheet music ..... I might me wrong or right ... I learn something new from you.

[@nekosoda5889]

awesome

[@Dr.M.VincentCurley]

Not exactly sure how you're doing the picking, but I'll figure it out.

[@59Darek]

Hello Darell! I wish you lived in Canada and I lived in Poland. If not for that, I would be your student, although I am 60 years old. Regards

[@terryharper3137]

how do you pick the chords to use for the walk down?

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Very nice.

[@RC32Smiths01]

The Walkdown is probably the best way to execute the chord progression I believe! Its presence is in songs of every genre or style, it's quite timeless! Cheers man as always

[@Dan-uk3rv]

Your channel is terrible................ly addictive. I can't even play but now I own two guitars! What is happening to me?

[@argo_z]

For the next build can you PLEASE.... do a B bender telecaster build like jack white's with the B and G bender levers oh and the kill switch gotta have the kill switch. It's on the Jack white facebook page

[@engelsjn]

Coming up on 500k man! Well deserved. Love the content and the channel. Thank you! 😃

[@ryanfolstad1697]

I'm trying to down size my gear and focus on my playing. So with a week full of namm video's this was much needed. Thanks Darrell! Your my favorite youtuber!

[@mikeaddison-saipe5820]

Who are the 25 giving this thumbs down....I suspect lesser guitar tutors:) Awesome as usual Darrell.

[@guilhem3739]

7:10 it is Pachelbel's Canon in C ... literally

[@ksell5441]

Guilhem you won’t get a like from D but you do from me

[@K.114.]

thank you so much for this! i just am glad i have something to play other than boring basic chords lol :)

[@rayschoch5882]

Excellent, Darrell. Wish I'd had this lesson 50 years ago.

[@nathanstokes3931]

That acoustic sounds great!

[@alestev24]

It does, and I like the video. But I still wish somebody on these English speaking chammels would at least make an effort to pronounce "Furch" correctly.

[@FuzzImp]

For Pantera Riffs?

[@freddymyers9511]

I don't know this technique... I'm nobody. 😢

[@dreugh424]

You know what they say... Nobody's perfect :)

[@vivlund]

I love these lessons! They are the perfect length and so helpful and also fun!

[@seanlheeger]

That is excellent.

[@wreednelson]

Sounds great DB! Great lesson!

[@jim.missywyant.kennedy2334]

You might get kicked out of your local shop if you start playing that G progression, I swear I heard birds chirping! Lol Excellent stuff!

[@thrakh5842]

That guitare sounds pretty good man

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

Bit of a kink in the desc. “Looking for *an* time-tested” ;)

[@Rawan-kd9vq]

The guitar sounds amazing

[@theoriginalbrickbat]

When The Rain Comes by Third Day! (Although that song has Bm/F#, not D/F#)

[@donttalktome4696]

I want a furch very bad.

[@ThankGoddaily]

Always love a lesson from Darrell!

[@JustinNogle]

Slick video Darrell, much appreciated! Btw, your studio uplighting is fantastic. Your guitars look awesome!

[@Metzgerchef]

Playing the "Everlong" walkdown live has always been my favorite feeling as a guitar player. A timeless song

[@aruvirk587]

Yes. It is truly amazing. Can you link a good tutorial to it for acoustic? Or do I just follow the electric tutorial? Thanks!

[@parkermeginbir4812]

UBIQUITOUS??! I didn't know I'd need a dictionary today . . .

[@flatfacepuggo1779]

That's a really good technique, and honestly if you do some kind of "depressed" country music I suggest you had that to your songs because it really makes them way more "alive". Also works really good if you write some kind of chill/relax EDM or synthwave, this is not only guitar related ^^

[@landen.c]

Hate to be a bother but the description says "*an* time-tested and easy way to link chords together."

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks! Fixed it :)

[@landen.c]

No problem. Have a good day, Darrell!

[@Tiresmoke7]

Great lesson ! Can this technique be used with more common chord shapes?

[@alexgarcia8365]

Im starting to learn corridos can you start reviewing 12 string guitars preferred if that have a cut away

[@josephantonio4534]

Sorry I’m trying to learn how to play guitar and I’m still looking for one

[@rosssteuck4989]

Maaaaannnnnn !!!! Air guitar is just , Soooooo much easier !!!!!!!!

[@nomadman123]

Great lesson! Those run downs sound totally ubiquitous!

[@jasonhampton2792]

When is the Schecter PT pro review coming?

[@tyrssen1]

Ahh yes, the "dreaded F chord!" Ain't it the truth! LOL

[@mikem3929]

easy on the zoom brother,, my eyes adjust slower than your lens does

[@teppopuinut]

Great tutorial with one clear precious tip!

[@ekhsupreme57]

What to do if i will never get good at guitar?

[@Zigzipy]

Just keep practicing and maybe get a teacher. My teacher is great, he helped me learn much faster. Other than that surround yourself with encouraging people. If you want to and you're willing to work hard, you can get good at guitar.

[@ekhsupreme57]

@@Zigzipy ok, i am practicing a lot, btw, what to do if i think i had enough of music theory? Because idk how to explain my teacher that scales and a bit of knowladge between steps is enough for rock?

[@sohamsengupta6470]

@@ekhsupreme57 It kinda isn't, you can always benefit from more theory. Sure, instinct and ear is important, but the more theory you know the more you'll understand why music does what it does

[@ekhsupreme57]

@@sohamsengupta6470 ok, thanks!

[@kwijung]

I don't get it ;)

[@J__C__]

Man I feel like this is all unattainable at this point...but I've only had a guitar for about 4 days now, so... 🤣 Why can't you move to Louisiana? It's not that cold here! 🤣

[@vivlund]

J C keep at it! This is a little advanced, but you’ll get there with some chord practice and a little bit of picking practice!

[@J__C__]

@@vivlund oh I've made progress already. I already know 3 chords and the beginning of 1 scale, the first position of E minor pentatonic, so I've been working on those, trying to build some muscle memory and work on getting my fingers in the right place every time. Next is extending the scale and learning the patterns for the other overlapping positions. I'm really trying to understand the theory behind it and not just remember the patterns so I can actually use it and not just repeat it over and over. For now, I can do that stuff without any reference material so I'm learning something. Been working on accurately picking strings for the intended note, fretting the right string every time without accidentally muting others, and strumming the right strings on those chords. Not having an organized lesson plan to follow just yet doesn't seem to be holding me back at all or causing any issues. I still need to get on justinguitar and see what he's got soon.

[@J__C__]

Watching this again after learning the beginning of the Em penta scale makes it seem much more attainable. I may, have to try this soon. 😁

[@josephantonio4534]

What is that guitar called??

[@rudikessler]

It's a Furch. Built in Czech Rebublic and worth every cent.

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Guitar tone is awesome

[@ParaBellum2024]

It's distorted on my computer. Tried headphones. Still distorted.
