That Gretsch sounds fantastic!

[@jmenden111]

I love this. Three pretty simple licks that make you sound like, you know how to put a solo together. And you’re great at breaking it down to make it easy to learn. Beautiful.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks Joe!

[@evanwright1425]

This stuff is great. Even if you can play much more complicated solos (I can't), you can always fall back on these tricks if you screw up/lose the timing since they all sound great over the I, IV and IV chords.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thank you! Hopefully this is a nice starting point for some people, cheers Evan! 🍻

[@kevinbirge2130]

Nice guitar. THE classic Rockabilly axe.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Does the job nicely!

[@bobmouat5433]

I’ve just bought my first Gretsch it’s a g5422t, it’s 10 years old with rusty strings and frets, so it’s in the shop being cleaned up and set up . I’m going to learn this and play when they ask me to try out! This is just the sound I want to hear from my new guitar. I’ve never played lead before but I think I could do this. First time I’ve seen you, have just subscribed,thanks man.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks so much Bob, welcome to the gang and congratulations on the new Gretsch!

[@wittvonwitt4403]

How's the playing coming?

[@AthelstanEngland]

Thanks mate... as an old geezer moving on from just rhythm to trying to be Scotty Moore finding it tough so this is great. Daft thing is I sort of knew them all but until you put it in context like this and linked them in nothing was really sticking. Much appreciated. Gonna check out your band now.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Brilliant, so glad this can be of use! Think I'm gonna do a second part to this at some point.

[@Patrizioquattromori]

Very nice to hear 👏👏👏. I am learning guitar from october 2023, 72 y.o., now i am trying to play guitar solo on musical chords (blues and pop-soul). I have also one Harley Benton SC35 Plus.

[@sameap]

Always great to have these tricks solid in the pocket on stage, thanks for the inspiration, with best wishes from Amsterdam!

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Cheers Bart! Glad this is of use !

[@benvalenty5747]

[@philipharley369]

Thanks a lot for this, it's a great help. Really old rocker in North Lincolnshire UK trying to play a bit of lead for a boost rather than rhythm or bass for rockabilly numbers maybe on an open mic night; this sounds good and even I can do it. 😃

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks Philip. All the best - go rock that open mic!

[@Jill-ni8fe]

Loved these tricks!

@@DEATHRAYCAT 🙏. Really? Thats great! Thank you very much!😀 Hope, he is not disappointed 😬. You have a very cool way to teach rockabilly guitar. Unfortunately I am not a good guitar player. It takes so much time for me to learn🙈. Maybe thats the reason that the bass is my favourite instrument. 😀 All the best and I am looking forward
