Thank you for including lessons for beginners. They are way more fun than the average KZbin lesson. Peace.

[@tristar333333]

Great lesson.Thanks !

[@TheShaun104]

Best one yet! 👍🏻

[@johnwilcox6713]

Seriously, thanks. Your first easy licks video broke something loose for me. I've only been playing for a year, was playing all the same stuff over and over. Then I practiced those first licks, and it was like everything I learned fell into place. Not like I'm suddenly a virtuoso or anything but I'm having a ton of fun and improvising stuff that actually sounds like music. Really appreciate it.

[@talkingbread2012]

I have become a more advanced player and this lesson is really clear and fun: Great job.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks so much!

[@joemurphey7541]

Man am I glad you were in my recommendations. I never knew I wanted to play rockabilly till I saw your channel and Damien baccis, but my god do I love it. Keep up the great videos

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

This is amazing news, thank you so much 🙏🏻 🍻

[@khalidboussif8850]

Wouaw you transmit with a disconcerting and relaxed ease a knowledge certainly "mystified 😭😭" by guitarists who want to keep everything secret. These 4 licks allow every one to understand improvisation on rockabilly pieces and have fun. A big thank-you.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thank you

[@garytrent1]

Fantastic lesson I really loved it thank you so much for sharing Great job

Good stuff as always.

Thanks CC 😻

[@TheeHitch]

Great lessons, love all this stuff also 60’s garage and Billy Childish’s bands, it’s cool to refresh on the easier stuff. I used to play in a band in a prison and we did some old surf instros and also Troubled Times by Mighty Caesars. Very cool stuff 😎

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks Paul I love the Billy Childish stuff too, that’s a guy with a lot of great material! Thanks and all the best 🍻

[@timjames72]

easy but very cool mate

[@AcousticWarrior]

Can you give me a tip on a as good amp for Gretsch 5420 and rockabilly sound ? Thanks

[@1957kwick]

Love your teaching I am a beginner at 61. How long did it take you to get as good as you are?🇺🇸

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks so much! Well done for picking up the instrument and learning a new skill, I hope you find as much enjoyment from it as I do. I have been playing for around 25 years 😮 but you will see improvements every day if you practice and hopefully will enjoy the process!

[@raymondclarke9639]

First time plying guitar any tips.

[@JsnHgl]

These easy licks are super helpful! Thank you! Question for you: which of your guitars is your favorite for rockabilly/psychobilly?

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks Jason! I’m obviously a Gretsch man but I do think any guitar can be used for rockabilly or psychobilly! It’s all in the way you play 😸

[@JsnHgl]

@@DEATHRAYCAT Cool. I hear that! I'm looking to get a new Gretsch. Thinking 6120 or maybe something else. So many nice pro models. Which 6120 do you have?

[@robertlawrason4676]

Hey Nico - Really like your lessons they are a great help - do all your lessons on Patreon have full tabs (ie) Electromatic - Thanks

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Hi thanks a lot Robert! Yeah the electromatic tier and above has access to all the tabs and Patreon videos as well as any backing tracks. I’m about to add a bunch more backing tracks too! Cheers! 🍻

[@traceydevlin7066]

Good 💩 Nico. Thanks.👻🍻😸 Rain....man I wish it would rain in my part of the world.😜

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

It added a nice bit of texture to the video 😂 thanks for watching as always Tracey!

[@traceydevlin7066]

@@DEATHRAYCAT 👍. I have your band in my spotify playlists.🤙

[@jamesshelley9762]

Any easy solos in E or G?

[@johndodson4527]

So ready a beer and open chat and coolness.

[@rajeshgumber363]

Thanks Nico , learning alot from your lessons , always fun things to enjoy on the guitar. Just wanted to ask if Gretsch guitars are heavy or light in weight? They sound great , ideal for the rockabilly sound.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Hi Rajesh! Glad you’re enjoying the lessons! It depends on the model how heavy they are. I find the hollow bodies to be not too heavy but not super light either. 💪

[@rajeshgumber363]

@@DEATHRAYCAT Hi Nico, I see what you mean. Thankyou

Hi Mark, it should be down there but here it is if you can’t find it 😸 www.patreon.com/deathraycat Thanks for looking !

[@marcosreal11]

Great lesson. It would be good to teach the right hand too. It looks like you’re finger picking. Also you’re using a lot of syncopation. It would be good to teach the rockabilly rhythm and groove by explaining the rhythms you’re using in your right hand.
