Playing Outside the Blues or Rock Riff Lesson 2 by Shawn Tubbs

[@BassdudeZ56]

Great Stuff Shawn!!

[@ggus8512]

The comedy begins… Then it really begins when I try to play it… Thanks so much Shawn for insights into these types of outside licks. I’m playing catch up on your channel! I wish I had caught it years ago. Seems brand new to me! Ha

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much for watching! I truly appreciate it!

[@insideoutNOTW]

You are Great and Awesome! This is perfect for me. The best part: I don't need to buy anything! My favorite part is:"I think it's a tritone", "12th speed bump,." feel like Mr. Rogers"... Love it! Totally funny, with precise musicianship! You're an Awesome kat!!!😁

[@Firebrandrock]

Great idea!,

[@just.some.dud3]

So awesome, Shawn. I can’t say how much I appreciate you sharing these licks with us, keep up the awesome work man!

[@Mainstreet2006]

Great lesson, in a humorous way...Thanks for sharing..!Amazing chops you have...too..

[@darkewind56]

Thank you for being gracious enough to share your hard earned experience. Keep'em coming

[@tonepoet]

Bought the course. I've got tomorrow free and a gig at night so I get to spend a good bit of time on the lessons and do my best to throw some magic in Led Zeppelin tunes at night.

[@ryanstaggs5956]

Checked out the sound slice clips and tabs. Top notch! We all want some Shawn Tubbs in our vocabulary.

[@thelonetwangster]

Great stuff. Really like the fact that you're letting your character shine through - I mean this seems more natural than the demos you've done in the past. This is educational gold. Please keep it up.

[@bassface12348]

Absolutely yes more of these! I'm super interested in the lesson pack I hope you can keep doing this full time!

[@braxal6983]

Shawn, Wow that was a great lesson at the right speed and execution. Please, please do more. I can’t wait to get home and learn it!!!!

[@rikshredder]

It's about damn time Shawn! Every time I watched your gear demos I asked, "Where are the licks videos?" And with the added bonus of comedy! Thanks Shawn!

[@rudiekazu]

There is a God in Heaven....my prayers have been answered....thank you thank you....couldnt ask for more than the Tabs to this CD project....cant wait to get em....I cant tell ya how long I've been working on these vids ...tryin to steal some chops....looking forward to this big time

[@derekallan6166]

Best stuff on KZbin. All your vids are dope! I don’t remember you being this funny back in the day living in HB. Carry on my friend, God bless!

[@CraigRMerriman]

Demolition is so cool! Can't wait to check out the lessons. Jam tracks would be fun too. Thanks Shawn!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks Craig!! I'll release the track very soon!!

[@DornAndGrant]

How cool is the lessons stuff. Well done Shawn.

[@Br4dSp34d]

Another awesome riff and video! I’d love to see something where you break-down what you mean by looking for shapes in the future as well!

[@lonnyhandwork422]

I just picked up the Soundslice content Shawn. Really awesome stuff - highly recommended. Thank you so much!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much Lonny!! My eldest brothers' name is Lonnie!!

[@RJRonquillo]

Rad! Are those the stock pickups in that DGT?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Yep!! The DGT is the guitar that hooked me on PRS guitars in general. Those pickups are just killer sounding!! Thanks for chiming in RJ!! It means a lot!!

[@J_C838]

Every video, album and sound slice release you do is such high quality man. I purchased the sound slice course and I love it! It's really cool to try to understand how you approach playing these monster riffs. Thanks for making such great content Shawn!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much Justin!!

[@Leach2131]

Friggin hilarious. You make these a lot of fun to watch/learn.

[@keoni927]

I have birds on my guitar neck too Shawn but they don't sing like your birds do!!! hahaha I'll keep trying though. Thanks for all that you do to help the rest of us get better.

[@AZFunk]

well there goes my day....gonna be working on this one for sure...

[@theishing1]

Great as always Shawn... God bless you.

[@giuliogalli1164]

this is pure gold, thanks for sharing Shawn!

[@c_loeber]

Calling the 12’th fret “the fifth bird” had me rolling around on the floor laughing. Great riff to learn an excelent humor! You have a new subscriber!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@HenryMittnacht]

I don´t have any birds on my fretboard. So I´m pretty lost on that... :-(

[@fabiogossling9839]

Cindy is pretty cool! Didn't know her already...much love to her! But by the way...i really dig your Videos and even your CD...always a pleasure! Greetings from Germany

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks! Her name is actually Persimmon but we call her "Simmy". I hope all is well for you!

[@mattchurchill]

Loving these vids Shawn, great work👌

[@mattfetters]

This is fantastic! Thanks Shawn.

[@TreyAlexander]

Definitely buying the soundslice this looks awesome!! Great playing man!!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much Trey!!

[@TreyAlexander]

@@ShawnTubbs of course your a really fantastic player brother!!

[@SIXSTRING63]

Riff had a Lydian dominant flavor to it. Think of The Simpson’s theme song. I use that a lot to get a bit of outside sound in a solo. Love your videos.

[@fatherjacques]

Great course. Thanks a lot for it. Now the backing tracks to see if we understood LOL!

[@DrMordiBenhamou]

Thanks Shawn, I really enjoy your videos, playing and kindness. I purchased your Soundslice course (-:

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much!!

[@toddfoote8978]

Dude! Love your style and your Cat!!!!!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much Todd!! Simmy is a really sweet cat. Hard to go wrong with a highland fold kitty!

[@stevemurphy5280]

The soundslice course is ace! Great stuff Shawn, time me to learn your licks correctly haha

[@DaleBoyle]

Great as always Shawn!

[@mp9508]

I think you’re on the right track! [pun intended] Jam track versions of Demolition [yup, I bought Demolition] and tab of same will be tabtastic! Mad success to you sir!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much Michael! I'll release those soon!

[@marcogman8905]

Kind of has a Simpson theme to it. You should ask Danny Elfman if it's a tri-tone. LOL! Great job, Mr. Tubbs. You are the best!!!

[@mikemccourt6225]

9:17 - yeah...I don't already do that. Cool riff Shawn

[@iagobroxado]

Your lessons are great, Shawn.

[@JazzStrat781]

Always killer content! Thanks man, love your videos! Best to you!!

[@-b0j-]

Great riff Shawn. Can see it being really useful. And I’m glad you mentioned the JamTrax idea as I was going to ask/suggest you have a version of your SoundSlice stuff available without the lead lines. 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much!! I'll release the Jam Tracks soon!!

[@BAMozzy69]

Great video, loved the delivery and that DGT sounds great too. Your cat is cute btw

[@ShawnTubbs]

Ha! Thanks so much! That DGT is such a great guitar!!

[@inzomnerocker]

Amazing! Thanks , man!!!

[@garypike422]

Too funny... Love it.

[@AZFunk]

Learned this today on my DGT :) (still getting a little hung transitioning from the 2nd triad up to the b string but getting close. Shawn, what software do you use for drum programming?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks Doug for watching!! I use EZ drummer 2

[@multibertable]

Shawn Tubbs I Love you!

[@jamesrobinson529]

I don't know if I'm more impressed by the cool outside lick or the fact that you can make your cat say bye on cue. jk

[@jakollee]

Love, this, thanks so much for doing these lessons! I just have to substitute dots for birds between the speed bumps. Wish I could click Thumbs Up twice! Also love that "digressing into another riff," I'll be trying to sort that one out in slo-mo for a while! P.S. How did you get your cat to speak on command?!

[@leonbarron368]

Oh my god the soundslice course was exactly what I was looking for! Legend

[@evanward4303]

Jam Tracks is a good idea. Your grooves are noice.

[@ShawnTubbs]

Cool! Thanks Evan! I'll put them up on Band Camp soon!!

[@mikecooper8465]

A big👍...

[@BV_Beve]

Congrats Shawn buddy on the 'team up' ! Killa playin as always.... My 2 cents anything you can add to expand your 'business catalogue' is a good plan, adding those jam tracks great way to start, bonne chance!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much!!

[@kimhansen6384]

You are my hero - is that a Harley Benton guitar :-)

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks! That's a Harley Benton Copy!

[@kimhansen6384]

@@ShawnTubbs OK - you are still my hero :-)

[@plexi-warrior4236]

This is great! Looking forward to those lessons. Shawn, do you use the standard 11’s on your DGT or 10’s?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks!! I use 10's on the DGT.

[@harrybee3093]

Thank you for the demolition course and tabs. I've waited a long time for something like that. I've just purchased the product, but I do not want to hide the fact that I find $ 40 rather expensive compared to, for example, Truefire Lessons.

[@Ratso_DeLynch]

Hey Shawn ! Love all the new lesson videos especially the outside riffs and licks rare for such a talented player to share all his secrets with us thanks! SO I have a question for you, from watching your videos all your guitars really SING! But I have a *tele question for you!* I'm having a tough time adjusting to the classic 3 barrel bridge but don't want to change it, that's the tele classic! It's probs because I play a strat and just switched over haha SO my burning question for ya is *what string gage do you use?* And if you know) is your tele bridge top loaded or string through? . * they say when it's top load the strings won't go through the back and make the strings a Lil easier to play since theirs less tension, I'd say that's true since it makes sense but the tone" part is all preference for sure, curious to hear what you think, my tele is a suhr t, superb but it came with 10.5-48 set so maybe that's my first problem, strings are too thick tense! LOL. . Cheers from Niagara falls Canada man and I hope to hear from you when you have a sec 😊🙏🤘 - Adam

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much for tuning in Adam!! I would stick to the 3 barrel bridge deal. I use D'addario NYXL 10-46 strings. My tele guitars are all string through the body so there is more tension base on the length. Maybe take a swing at a 10-46 set?

[@TreyAlexander]

Curious did you hire someone to transcribe these songs or did you do it yourself on the soundslice website?

[@ShawnTubbs]

I teamed up with Soundslice and they did all the tabs.

[@TreyAlexander]

@@ShawnTubbs Do you know who I can contact there to have that service done? I would like to have the videos I do transcribed. Thank you for responding so quickly!

[@nevenlisica]

The TONE! Which amp Shawn? Pedal?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much!! I used a REVV D20 with the stock 4x12 cab IR and a Rockett Pedals Majestic OD.

[@frankgreco]

Hey Shawn... you should co-headline a tour with Greg Koch. But not on guitar... just do standup comedy. :) This is Shawn unleashed... so unlike your original vids. It's like turning off a compressor and getting full Shawn dynamics. :)

[@Lukehart1953]

Purchase where???

[@ShawnTubbs]

www.soundslice.com/store/demo...

[@patrickcallies6451]

Demo-licious Shawn!

[@avgjoegat8126]

Pardon the pun Shawn Tabbs. Need Rick B to decode that slippery thing you're showing us

[@jamacare]

"So I riff a little, sue me!"

[@jayfoster]

It's a tri-tone :D

[@ShawnTubbs]

I think you're right. Thanks Jay!!

[@masonianbund]

Came for the riffs, stayed for the cat. ;)

[@veerchasm1]

Did any of your family play with Stone Temple Pilots on MTV’s Unplugged?

[@tomgroleau222]

Yup. He and his brother played on Unplugged with STP.

[@ShawnTubbs]

Yes, my eldest brother and I played MTV unplugged and SNL with STP. Thanks for watching!!

[@veerchasm1]

The Violet Burning, I KNEW IT. I saw you play at Rock of Love in the early 90’s and your volume swell/violin technique influenced me highly

[@riffs66]

Dig

[@ERMAV]

I like you :|

[@ERMAV]

You have hair :|

[@GreenD]

You are funny + serious at the same time, question: Can you make a video that is so outside the box with crazy faces, attitude and behavior and impossible runs that are nowhere else to be traced ore what it is in which tone whatever. So without doing any sort of normal behaviour anywhere, a bit like now :-) Sure that's a hit! Nobody does that, nobody can do that. You can do that ... without the joke is on you. Think about it.. BIG HIT! totally new format..

[@bootleginfo]

muahaha, fifth bird, great, now imma havta buy a prs "and the 'rest' of it is pretty chromatic"

[@ShawnTubbs]

Hahaha!! Thanks for watching!!

[@garybird4062]

You are a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL man!!!! Apologies Shawn but I have a slight man crush, yes, I'm married, yes I have kids but... I should stop typing. I'm going over to Sound Slice now. Thanks!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Hahaha!! Thanks so much Gary!!

[@TheCrystalyne]

You cant just be doing this for a living Shawn!! Surely folk must be begging you to play on their stuff!!!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks, I've got many different irons in the fire. The way the biz is these days you can't just do one thing. That being said I rarely get called for session work.

[@johnmullenjr3577]

It’s very difficult to play your guitar when youre laughing your butt off!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Haha, thanks for watching!
