Happy-Go-Lucky Guitar by Don Rich | Learn this if you want to play country guitar

[@junglefacejake]

I love how this channel goes from The Damned and Siouxsie to Don Rich!

[@fabiopunk1661]

Agreed. Adrian is very versatile

[@olafbigandglad]

Funny thing. Musicians are probably the least musically snobby people there are. Anyway, John 5 is a HUGE Don Rich fan.

[@AskZac]

You nailed that one to the wall. Sounded just like the original recording. Kudos!

[@ellenzinni673]

While so many KZbin players spend much time just talking and showing off Adrian g gives us a full lesson. He's a real gift to us. Fran

[@aa64912]

Great lesson. Been playing for five decades now and I played every genre’ there is and I’ve learned that there is only two types of music, the good and the bad.

[@chriss1492]

Great lesson! I’m from Texas, USA so country is definitely in the musical fabric here. There is tremendous value in learning a piece like this. Thank you again for the variety and high quality instruction!

[@joepalooka2145]

Alright! You get 5 stars from me! Anyone who gives us a lesson on a Don Rich tune deserves high praise. Don is one of my favourite musicians, not just for guitar--- he also could play great fiddle and banjo, and as everyone knows, was Buck Owens' sidekick and vocal harmonist for many years. All those famous Buck Owens hits of the '60s feature Don in a major way, both singing and playing. Don's wonderful harmonies impressed everyone, including the Beatles. He made many great recordings with Buck, and his distinctive Telecaster picking guitar was highly influential, to this very day. When Don was tragically killed, Buck Owens was devastated and never was able to sound the same again. Don Rich---- a truly great personality, musician and entertainer. Thank you for educating younger people about him. Very much appreciated!

[@maggieo]

Andy Partridge, Keith Levine, Johnny Marr, and now Don Rich! I've loved Buck and Don since I was wee, thank you for this lesson, you're the best, mate.

[@harigeorgeson5885]

Perfect timing coming on the heels of the Ken Burns documentary, Country Music, here in the States. Much appreciated.

[@timothytobin1481]

Huge Don Rich (and Buck Owens) fan here. Thank you for this!

[@anthonymitchellalice]

Thanks for bringing this song to my attention. For weeks now, I've not stopped singing it/playing it/smiling!

[@MarkSmith-rc8bx]

How did I not know about this song... I love it. I learned the first part (pretty fast for me) and I cant stop playing it. Thank you for all of your ACPG lesson... Very well done

[@gregorystoner4708]

A true musician enjoys playing all kinds of music. Thanks again

[@DerEchteBold]

Playing ...Yes! Listening to ...not necessarily ; )

[@DerEchteBold]

@@gregorystoner4708 Oh right, absolutely, I can't stand all these Ed Sheeran kinda ballady types for example, that's so horribly cheese crap. But I didn't even mean that, back when I still played in bands, 20 years ago, with a cover band we did some songs I would've never ever listened to at home but they often were the most fun to play.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

What a fun melody, I can't wait to learn it. It sounds like it should be a theme tune for a tv show 😎🎸✅

[@cmaddox1020]

Country and rockabilly are my favorites guitar styles so many thanks for sharing this one!

[@Noitpure]

Fantastic lesson!!! Thank you so much! Don was such a cool player!

[@judwatkins9478]

Standing ovation! Great slice of guitar classy licks.

[@anne5surf]

I’ve always wanted learn country music, I thought it would be simple, but it’s a lot harder to play than it sounds.

[@robertfkaz7013]

Thank you so much for the lesson. Excellent breakdown. It all makes so much sense. Keep up the variety and great work.

[@cmaddox1020]

There is always something new and great to learn on your channel, Adrian. Your country and R&B lessons have been most beneficial to my playing. A thousand thanks!

[@silkydaddy9917]

I love James Burton and Don Rich. Uncredited Greats. You have a great ear.

[@delboynz1]

Fantastic. I’ve watched it over just to hear your play through- tremendous Don AM radio tone and style. Can’t wait to get stuck in now...

[@retrotelerod]

Thanks for this. Your tone is amazing! I love Don Rich's style.

[@LARRYWAITE]

thanks for introducing this instrumental track

[@RedDirtRules]

I enjoy your country playing Thanks for sharing your talent 💗

[@boomerdell]

Adrian is an absolute gem. Brilliant call to include a wide variety of songs, music, and genres. There is a lot more overlap across seemingly unrelated genres and styles than a lot of people, even musicians, realize. Yet another reason why this channel is one of the best guitar and music channels out there.

[@billshepherdmusicchannel5446]

Adrian I appreciate your multiple genres approach. Thanks for your hard work.

[@marcbolan1818]

Don was one of the very first country gunslinger players with Buck. Like a lot of the best players Don was selective in his solos and created complimentary licks. His stuff is worth a listen even if you are not a big country fan. Great that you picked something other than the obvious choice of “Buckaroo.”

[@lonestarbug]

Yes.

[@kevinschmitt4050]

Any player that ignores country guitar is doing themselves a huge disservice

[@Daytripper51]

Love your country lessons!

[@sharkblues]

Love Don Rich! This was unexpected, but very appreciated even though I already play this one.

[@meddlecho]

Great musicians/teachers make it all look so easy!! Great stuff 👌👍

[@mikebaron4264]

Your videos are great! I like how you cover all styles, this is the way I listen to music. I really like the old country stuff, thanks.

[@olaffuellberg2306]

You do such great lessons!!! I am learning a lot from you! Thank you so much!

[@uptopmikep7065]

This is such a fun tune! And many parts can be integrated into other freestyle riffing. Thanks Adrian!!!

[@CC-qb9sm]

Super stoked to be able to find such a good backlog of country pieces on your channel Adrian. I’ve got a b/g bender on order and should have it in a couple of months. It should be a lot of fun!

[@jbf16falcon]

Love the humor and lessons!

[@carpetpro9903]

Adrian, incredible job, Don Rich would be impressed!

Cheers Adrian. Always keep it fresh mate.

[@arneeriksson4041]

woow Thank you for a good version of Happy Go lucky guitar made by Don Rich. Am Arne from Sweden and here are alot of guitar players wish have learn this song in a very different way... Most all and its many wish playing the "swedish version" maybe because BT producer did it like that. No name coz this person is agreat guitar player....Thank you for original Happy Go Lycky Guitar

[@tonywatson2682]

Great tune Great lesson - thanks a lot Adrian

[@projekt1824]

Great tone. Wonderful lesson!

[@mattbockbrader2140]

Love all the theory stuff you threw in, Adrian! I play in a noise/punk band but I work on country licks on my own time. You should check out the two-parter about Don Rich & Buck Owens on the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast.

[@rayh72]

Excellent presentation, thank you.

[@papersquares]

love your style dude

[@patrickfoster4586]

I've long said I'm a fan of any and all styles of music as long there's real talent involved! A really great song is great regardless of the style. On the subject of variety I'd love to hear more from you on Hank Williams, Scottie Moore, Johnny Cash and Gordon Lightfoot myself- this from primarily a blues/rock/punk player. Love your content Adrian; keep 'em comin'! Cheers from across the pond! (Louisiana) P[>

Hey Adrian. You are officially my favorite source for learning something new. I like all the genre's u cover. very detailed and easy to follow. have been playing for 50 years. we'll never be finished learning . I am working on a version of "sleepwalk" among others. Would love to see how you would approach a six string interpretation of that tune. have wanted to learn it my entire life. just in case your looking for new lesson ideas. thanks for all your hard work. cheers fro Canada😎

Gonna learn this one too, because...why not?

[@MercurialToys]

I actually find country guitar difficult to play authentically, I always end up sounding more like Creedence Clearwater Revival. A more rocked up version of country. But I really enjoy watching and listening to country guitarists with all the tricky bends and effortless sounding runs up and down the neck.

[@mairenared]

Another great lesson Adrian, I loved the idea of playing this tune on a B C Rich Warlock! Sadly, I don't own one (and almost certainly never will) so I can't send you a video. Any chance of a video on "Buckaroo"?

[@imadmohammed1031]

nice country lesson. I want the bass line which you played in rock soloing pentatonic in key of A Major

[@Collwila]

Another Don Rich classic that I learned is Buckaroo. I guess it will be on that Album.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Is there a backing track for this on your Patreon? Thanks!

You can't beat Don Rich!!! Buck's right hand man left us too early. Hard to play as clean as he did. Thanks for doing this video. Q. - What gauge strings did Don use?
