Everybody, I am not affiliated with Damian, whatsoever. That said, please if you are coming here to see this man's great content, stories and wisdom and aren't subscribed, please consider it. He deserves to get to 100,000 and he is so very close. All these Rockabilly, Swing and Blues lessons and tips are so valuable in almost every spectrum of music you may find yourself in. It is just good stuff. Additionally, his feel good life lessons are just that...they feel good! That's it. Peace everyone.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so very much Paul for the kind words. It really made my day reading this. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

Hi Damian, Your lessons are very inspiring! This style of playing can be quite intimidating. But your step by step guidance really helps to break through that wall. Thanx! And keep on with the life lessons because our world needs music and kindness. ❤ Regards Gertjan

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

Couldn’t agree more..

[@BlackRaven156]

God bless you, Damian! Your kind and sincere soul comes through. Great lesson as always!

[@johnsee7269]

Well said! Kinda like a breath of fresh air in the Smokies; ahhhhh... 😊

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@brunoseys6705]

The lick on bar 7 & 8 is so luscious, inspiring and nifty. Well done Damian.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@keithfaust8925]

I like how you explained some of the theory behind the licks, so we can understand WHY the licks work over particular chords, so we can use those tools to make our own licks, but what I really love is a double bound Tele!!!

[@Damianblf]

It's a great looking guitar. Thank you :)

[@FilmFlam]

Thanks for another great lesson. This is such joyful, fun music.

[@jeffreyferenc3672]

Another terrific lesson from an ace guitarist and an even better man. As the Pope once said: have the courage to be kind. Words to live by as Damian reminds everyone here.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Jeffrey. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@bluesybruce]

great video Damian - I have played most of those licks before.... but never put them together to form such a good solo. You never fail to impress. THANK YOU SIR ....

[@Damianblf]

Glad you found the lesson inspiring. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@stephendocherty6629]

Oh yes Grady Martin and Brian Setzer ❤

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@jimwilson4032]

i love your guitar teachings but your lesson on kindness is the best part of the video

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it :)

[@frannyp46]

Not just a lesson in guitar playing. This my friends, is a wonderful human being.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for those kind words. It means a lot :)

[@josemagraso4887]

Hello, Damián. I’m writing to you from Spain. I really like your lessons. Keep it up.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@CC-qb9sm]

Great licks 🤠 Thanks. Also, I had already done some simple acts of kindness this morning while out and about before watching this video. 🙂 You and I are definitely on the same page my friend… I think my upbringing has me hardwired for that, but I also like the reinforcement I get each week when enjoying these lessons and final thoughts. You are doing good work Damian. My guess is you’re touching quite a few people and making the world a better place. Be well. 🤠

[@Damianblf]

Thank you my friend for those kind words. It means a lot to me. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@elena69164]

Thank you for watching :)

[@BenMartinBox]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@boomerdell]

Damian, you are the best. I get so much from all your lessons and you took my already significant love of jump blues, early R&B, and rockabilly - plus all the precursor and ancillary styles - and sent it to the moon, stars, and beyond. Your kindness, decency, and love for all shines through most of all. Thank you for all you do.🙏🏽

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much my friend for those kind words. It really means a lot to me. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@stratguy1013]

I'm loving all your lessons. Keep them comin

[@rickdiaz7239]

Oh yes! Damians attitude is infectious. Great teacher and great lesson. And he's putting it out here for free. Concise and to the point. He's one of the best on YT. I picked up one of his DVDS. Full of great stuff. Highly recommended.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much Rick for the kind words. Much appreciated my friend :)

[@moondog2007]

If you want authentic blues & rockabilly with authentic tone and attitude Damian is your man. I’ve got both DVDs too well worth the investment. And he’s an all round top bloke to boot. If I get to be 10% as good as Damian I’ll die a happy man.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@stephenlavan4489]

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the lesson :)

[@1LDKerr]

I can’t believe I’m just now finding this. Possibly the best teaching style I’ve seen, certainly for these styles. Doin the Lords work, my man! Immediately subscribed and I can’t wait to watch every single one of these videos.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers :)

[@billyboy3437]

Excellent lesson as usual Damian. What would we do without top men like yourself sharing these brilliant guitar tips. Cant wait to give this one a go and pop it into a tune. 😺👍 🎸

If you've been studying under Damien's Channel as well as committing his DVD course to memory you can almost feel your way through the next lesson with less effort as your skill and ear develops. A testament to such a gifted, patient and thorough instructor. Thanks Damien!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying all the lessons. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

Most excellent dude. Keep rockin'.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you :)

[@user-cd5nk3rr1n]

Thanks for breaking down the theory in a clearly explained manner, that helps us beginners understand the “architecture” of the music. I love that your choice words are free from frivolous side-talk. Just the right amount to get the job done. Rick Beato ought to take a lesson from you. 😊 ☮️Brother and thanks for all you do.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the lesson :)

[@attila9791]

[@88msdelay48]

Hi Damian! First time viewing something from you. Nice licks! However, what I sensed was a sincerity to what you say & put out. Thanks for sharing. I’ll do my good deed today.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for stopping by the channel. I hope you'll enjoy the other videos as well. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@paulphoad]

Hi Damian. Been watching for a few years. Not sure why you don't have 2 or 3 hundred k subscribers. Keep well man.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. I really do appreciate the suppot :)

[@paulphoad]

@@Damianblf cheers. Mate Ill pinch the double stop on the 5 chord followed by the "d7" chromatic run... us chord merchants need as many tricks as we can get😁

[@lorenzodegani2669]

[@DrFelch]

Cool lesson. Like your stuff, even if you are a little bit goofy. It's cool. I'm a wicked doof myself. 🤣

[@stephendobby2157]

Ace!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching :)

[@johnsee7269]

I think a comment helps your algorithm so here's one! A little like letting someone in your lane while driving; pay it forward; etc. Best wishes! 🎸

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@Frank-in-NY]

Hey Damian terrific video with some tasty licks. I can see where I can use a little of what ya got there for a project of mine. Nice Classic Vibe Tele, Original pickups? It sounds hot. Are you playing through an Hardware Amp or a Software Amp? As always, appreciate the lesson.

[@Damianblf]

Everything is stock on the guitar. I'm playing through a Hot Rod DeVille that's mic'd with a SM57. Currently I'm not into using any type of software but that may change in the future. Cheers :)

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Cheers boss 😊 Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🎸😎

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much :)

[@philippegilson666]

[@al271987]

A beautiful bound telecaster, is that a 60’s classic vibe?

[@Damianblf]

Yes it is. :)

[@MrMarkar1959]

I just wanna Jam all day. learning these licks will eventually fall into place,,,if i put on a Stray Cats CD🎸it'll be faster if I played like ,,Danny B. Harvey ✌🏼

[@Damianblf]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for watching :)

[@ianupton1977]

BLUES

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for watching :)

[@BuzzardOfficial]

Damian, May I request you teach the guitar solo in the Elvis song “So Glad You’re Mine” ?

[@Damianblf]

That's a good one. One of these days I'll teach that solo and the solo on "Too Much" as well. :)

[@MrPDTaylor]
