HI Damian .... this is now lesson number 6 that I have learned from you .... thank you, not just for the lessons, but I am now on ''lock down'' hear in Yorkshire UK (because my age 80+ makes me a vulnerable person to the coronavirus) .... you are not only helping my guitar playing, but also my sanity (though some people have doubted that for years). Keep safe and keep on rocking - till your'e my age and beyond. Best wishes.

[@lamper2]

i was on a walking ghost tour there and learned you say "shaw" NOT "shire". nice town York-SHAW

[@anandlama647]

Very useful licks you teach🙏🤘☮️ God bless🎉

[@pacoariasandrade9799]

Thank you Damian for all your valuable contributions to rockabilly guitar

[@JimNiebauer]

How can there be 44 negatives ratings on this lesson??? This is another gold nugget from Damian. Its simple, clearly explained and is FUN FUN FUN! Also has a jam track at the end. ........and its free???? Just finished learning it and adding it to my lick library and will pull it out and use it as often as I can. I also bought Damians Rockabilly course a couple weeks ago and Im having so much fun on just the first lesson that I havent moved on to the next lesson yet LOL Playing it in different keys on different songs and am blown away how good it sounds. Best $30 I have ever spent on any on line guitar lesson. After I'm finished learning the remaining 19 lessons, Im going to check out his other courses.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much for the kinds words and for the support. It means a lot. :) Keep on Rockin' DAMIAN

[@weejim48]

Nice one mate. I think Setzer is very underrated . When he plays it’s just so fluid and natural. I also think he’s a good singer as well. I loved rock this town and stray cat strut. Brilliant 👍

[@fuskila]

What a cool little lesson, when I mastered it, I could fool myself for a few seconds and think I'm a decent guitar player :)

[@ringosteve21]

Just got a Streamliner and decided to get into playing rockabilly after all these years. This is where I started and now I'm onto the next one. Thanks man! Lots of fun

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for checking out the lesson. I really appreciate it. Hope you find my other lessons helpful. Keep on Rockin' DAMIAN

Super cool lesson! Merci beaucoup cheers from France!!

[@93mathis1]

Great lesson would love to have the music theory behind those chords

[@georgediamond7962]

one of the best lessons I've seen

[@ferpirata76]

Hi George. I,m a big Brian Setzer fan. I play acoustic guitar but I lack musical theory (getting into it). Could you please tell me the names of the chords he is playing? I don't like to put my fingers randomly without knowing what the heck I'm doing. I know it can be a difficult question. It would help me a lot if you could tell me. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time. Best wishes

[@Poppafunkband]

Has to show the tats

[@jackarmstrongiii3669]

Again, outstanding! Funny but true story: When I discovered the '13th' chord positioning my greatest local guitar hero/influence said "how do you get 13, there's not that many notes in the scale...". You're an excellent instructor to say the least!

[@444tootsie]

Fabulous!!! Thank you!!!

Loved the lesson. Missed you at Rockabilly Ruckus last night. Great job... thanks for the post!

[@ricklange1567]

You are a great teacher Damian! Great closeup shots of the fingerboard, but on some of the trickier rifs, it would be helpful to see what your picking hand is doing. Ideally a Picture-in-Picture would be perfect. Thanks for some great lessons!

[@nattyboyo2404]

Hey there Fernando .. Apologies for the late reply. I'm really sorry but I wouldn't be confident to supply the chord names. I play instinctively a lot of the time. Its a good idea to know what you're playing and it's great that you think like that. Maybe someone else knows and could be kind enough to inform us? Take care and sorry again that I couldn't be of help.

[@ferpirata76]

@@nattyboyo2404 thanks a lot. No problem. I usually do like you do. Now i,m trying to understand what i,m doing and its not easy, specially with Brian Setzer's jazzy chords. The better they sound the most difficult they are to play. Thanks a lot anyway. I wrote to more people but you were the only kind enough to reply. Best wishes!

Thank you very much for that Damian ... I enjoyed that ... pretty much got it down now, just need to practice for a few more days to get it into my long-term memory.... thanks once more Bruce Russell - a 78 year old Yorkshire man ... who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

good lesson, would also be good to know amp effects and settings used Cheers Rod

[@B.I.R.T.H.D.A.Y.B.O.Y.]

rodney kitchen sounds like lots of reverb ought to get you going.

[@robertvanhousen1015]

More of a slapback delay with some compression. It's very typical of country and rockabilly.

[@richard642]

Just got a Gretsch and love it. Gonna be learning this for sure. Thanks a lot. Wish I could see that video of Brian in that music store in Japan again. It was epic. The audio for Maybellene of that performance is here on KZbin. Any chance of picking out some of that and making a tutorial? 🙏

Nice lesson. It's great that you give us a "spoken tab," would be helpful if you called out the chords you are playing as well.

Hi! Is there any chance you'll play the solo from "Crawl up and Die"? Thanks!

Cool!! I'm putting together the collection of the first three Stray Cats albums on guitar pro (there are some excellent Japanese books). I just need Crawl Up and One more day (a great jazzy song)!

[@ginohernandez3770]

great lesson can u do a ' jade idol ' guitar lesson. ?

[@rarerockk]

How are actual names of these chords ?

[@XiaNingTian]

E6/9, Edim (root on the high string), E13, E6-D6, Amaj triad, A7, Edim, I think a Gdim inversion, Emaj, B13. Most of these chords are accurate. Some of them, I don't understand yet how they fit in, but those are the chords he's playing that lead stuff with.

[@dannyvee3332]

I wish you would have Named the Chords Etc.......otherwise Great Lesson!

[@Hilldig]

E6/9 to start to C7 to E13 to E6 Eb6 D6 Bbdim C#dim Edim Gdim to E7 B13 to Bb13 to A13 to E again 🎶

what's that loop tail in the back?

[@Teller3448]

Damian, Do you know how to get the tone on Setzer's 'Hollywood Nocturne' recording? It sounds like the neck pickup played through a Fender with the really bright Jensen speakers??? Its tasty...and a little rough around the edges.

[@JellyrollHorton]

Good stuff. It would help to see your right hand too.

[@MrRoyobentoni]

Your lessons make me think I am a good player. I think maybe I have an upbeat, positive teacher. Your good attitude goes against the grain of the usual smug "too cool for school " you tuber teachers.

[@327gtr]

Awesome...thanks a lot man.I can finally do something lol

[@luisfernandorodrigues609]

Sounds Great! May I ask you why you start on the fourth(A7)?

[@robertvanhousen1015]

I love this video, only I wish you included the theory behind these sequences. For instance, the types of chords and why a certain voicing is being used. I think that's a diminished triad inversion being played over the 3rd bar for instance. Very hip sound.

[@jefferylord3068]

damian, i know it’s beneath ur considerable guitar talents but how about a stray cat strut guitar lesson !!!!!

[@execatty]

Setzer is so fuckin cool

Hi Damien I would like to get your ultimate Rockabilly Guitat DVD, can rockabilly be played on an Epiphone Dot Archtop guitar? In addition to learning rockabilly, I am trying to learn Blues, Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, classic rick. One other fun guitar I looked at is t g d Epiphone Emperor Swingster. Besides the Gretsch can you recommend another guitar that is similar to the Orange Gretsch you are using? Thanks...

[@steviepaulson1753]

Angel, I bought a Gretch 5422 for $800.00. I have a Paul & a Strat. This guitar was affordable & the most friendly axe I ever bought. Good luck..
