A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZbin channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Too much talking not enough playing

[@strumbum946]

Fun fact: Johnny Cash used to put a “US dollar bill” between the strings and the fretboard to get even more of a “snare drum” sound. That was before he finally got a drummer in his band in 1960. Then the “Tennessee 2” became the “Tennessee 3.”

[@pgnandt]

Distortion for a dollar. Cool idea.

[@pauladouglass9456]

Here’s a testimonial link from the man in black himself explaining the paper in the strings effect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKTXgqqKpcZ8f7M

[@mitchb77]

I think everyone knows this already!

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Old news. Johnny told about and demonstrated this in his shows all the time with a folded piece of paper under the strings. So have I as well to get that percussive sound with drums like him.

[@rkoz55]

Dovydas really appears to enjoy these teaching videos. I hope you visit him often in Alaska for more. 😁

[@terrypatterson1481]

That was great - I wanted more.

[@richardfromcornwall5492]

Whether you’re into Johnny Cash or not, this is a brilliant aid to learning theses different muting techniques. I think the majority of lessons on muting simply focus on the right hand and the palm and not including what a huge difference the left hand can make. This is my practice for tomorrow. Thank you the both of you!

[@toddgreenwood9631]

How could someone be into guitar and not be into Johnny Cash. His early recordings are so iconic.

[@illuminotme4261]

I went to sleep working on Train of Consequences by Megadeth and woke up to this !!! I love Johnny Cash .... his version of Hurt is beyond excellent.

[@seandaniel23]

so good!

[@ConwayBob]

I agree, his version of Hurt is exceptionally good.

[@pgnandt]

Follow your instincts. Megadeath sucks.

[@jackmuratore9424]

I thought his secret was a pound of cocaine up the nose. Good to see Johnny Cash and Luther getting some love. Great stuff. All you kids out there.... check out Johnny's work, if you don't know it

[@esgee3829]

which cte-afflicted all-american zeros sold their superbowl rings for next to nothing (aka dovydas). sorry sean i guess that makes you nothin

[@tonymercado9228]

I didn't learn a damn thing

[@yachtabaco]

Carl Perkins and Luther Perkins were not related. The Perkins is by coincidence only.

[@ConwayBob]

What fun this is! Thank you!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching Bob!

[@WmartinMo]

You do Steve Martin better than Steve Martin. He is not funny or entertaining anymore. Thank you for your talent and willingness to help us.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much! I get this a lot actually :)

[@YanilleCastillo]

Oh yes he did but I love his music for ever ❤️

[@QBRX]

Dovy is a wild man, Johnny would love him.

[@MiddleAgedNoob]

YES! That Cash gangadank rhythm is the sauce that makes those tracks so spicy!

[@TerryLieb]

I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan for over 50 yrs. Nothing you guys played sounded anything like Johnny Cash!

[@sapelesteve]

This was a nice follow up to the other JC lesson on Dovy's channel! You know, the one where he mentions his mentor "Rick Beato"! 😂😂😂😂

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Gotta love Ric !!!!!

[@jasoneyes01]

Johnny's daughter left the guitar in Kaunas, Her son picked up that guitar and played it like the wind, He had this thing coming since I don't know when, keep the shows coming don't ever let it end...

[@gavindecker6722]

Does he preform?

[@MrPittsSox]

Cash was a great drummer!!!

[@paddypaystub]

"Practice" Bwahaha! That's the best answer to a guitar playing question I've ever heard. Well done.

[@ronhammar1154]

I have done that song Folsom prison many times and I can do what you are doing ( In my own way of course ) but I always forget to do that so I put a note on my song sheet that says SOUND LIKE A TRAIN ! Maybe that will work! Great video and I love Martin guitars!

[@michaeloakleaf]

”They capo everything” Dude, have you looked at Johnny Cash playing with the Highwaymen? Probably my favourite live video with him, and he capos EVERYTHING. So yes, you loose that control, but that’s how he did it himself.

[@eparock]

sometimes he would capo live and others not.

[@johnjones4049]

Paddy the baddy is in the house minus accent

[@vulcanknights]

Right on. Can't wait to play this on my dad's Ole Taylor.

[@elijahchesterthomas5334]

Excellent lesson, my dudes! Appreciated.

[@bsjeffrey]

most of my life relies on huge margins for error, which is also a great album name.

[@rays2794]

Two awesome dudes! Thanks for the great lesson

[@rwd3637]

Both of them combined couldn’t play

[@williambrown6721]

You guys are great! You're more welcome anytime to join us here in the Appalachian mountains of ky jamming around the bonfire sipping on some of the sweetest shine ..👍

[@stuartwalker16]

Ur trying not to pull a face just pull the face 😁😁😁😁😁✨️✨️🙏❤️

[@Airam5000]

Very entertaining... I will just do what he says at the beginning "practice "😅😂

[@pgnandt]

Muting over complicated.

[@brookec9623]

You boys were doing good at first. Then rigor mortis set in. Shoulda quit at about 4 minutes in

[@bobbyhall1305]

Cash claims to have wrote foloson prison blues but he copied the song Google it

[@sand451]

Well Johny used to put capo in a lot of his songs...

[@elipatrickmusic]

Luther and Carl weren't related

[@Inertia888]

Let's git into some flat pickin' !

[@kcsvantasticvoyages9729]

You all are like cray cray, lol loudly! But, it’s okay.

[@marccolligan694]

I would love you two for friends 😊

[@DrPhilGoode]

Think y’all meant Joaquin Phoenix. Possibly even Dewey Cox.

[@Paulhen71]

Ye guys are as funny as the couch your sitting on.

[@seandaniel23]

bro that couch has its own netflix special

[@davehill5539]

Cool beans

[@ProfessorJM1]

That was really (expletive) good Dovydas 😂...dang man haha

[@freesk8]

Didn't know Fabio could play guitar! :)

[@YanilleCastillo]

I wonder can we play like forsolm prison or walk the line or cocaine blues on piano verses guitar .

[@Zach-ls1if]

I’m really liking this video but had to pause it to watch the UFC

[@joelandtori105]

Love me some MartinD35 boys tutorial videos!

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Awesome vid.. gotta go over and check out Dov's channel now

[@ronlozano2358]

New player I’m 62 I love you guys make me play longer keep it up I’m having fun rondog 62 ❤

[@startreker8591]

Ssshhh😂 ❤love Johnny y I love to sing gospel y I could sound like him after some colds…Elvis is the king…waiting on my OM28…got Guild D55 y Martin Dread y GPC etc

[@ohana_is_family]

I really enjoyed this. Grandsons of Johnny Cash is an interesting approach. :-). If Dovydas tried a high hairdo he'd look more like a muscly cross between Boris Bekker and Boris Johnson. :-) .

[@2dazetake]

Think of a train chugging down the tracks, instead of watching a guitar video, watch an old train locomotive video,keep up with the piston pumping locomotions of the engine, try not to be the wreck of the old 97. 🤣👍

[@HughRailey]

You forgot the paper in the guitar to finish that snare sound. Real slap bass technique is very difficult, btw.

[@reedcollins7783]

Chicago is off the grid. I learn so much.

[@Mega_Casual]

Dovydas doin' a little bit of Elvis there along with Cash. ;-7

[@Lymezoner]

Practice!!! Hahahahaha…24/24 hours a day…

[@eparock]

i always thought he palm muted with his strumming hand, thanks for the info.

[@gnawbabygnaw]

It’s a Combo-uh. 🤙🤙 Met a guy while editing video for him. Classic NYC guy. Heavy NYC accent. We’re adding some sentence on the screen. He says, loudly, “gimme a Slamma on the end o dat.” Slamma, slammer, was what he called an exclamation point. Yer famous way of speaking clearly-uh. Yer just putting yer own Slamma on de end o’ dat. 🤙🤙

[@trusarmor4957]

i have 4 of your lesson open in browsers Right Now ... i feel like Lucy and Ethel in the Chocolate Factory. instead of chocolate, its guitar lessons, and these come faster and more interesting with every drop. how many lesson can i gobble down? . but i 'betcha cant eat just one' either

[@danbgt]

It’s a lot easier to get a grasp of how to do this if you already can play drums. It actually comes quite naturally. I played drums for years before starting to learn guitar. So. If you want to really improve your rhythm guitar licks, take some drum lessons! 😂😂

[@samdarris]

Great one! Thanks 👍🏻

[@robraleigh8614]

Didn't let us down, allegedly.

[@flouisbailey]

Martins in 8K now I need new everything. Maybe starting with the Martin itself. Man it sounds so train like youse got it!

[@Lymezoner]

Hahahahah, hahahaha, hahahahah….I love how you blah blah blah, ha ha ha…then play tight, and awesome, then Hahaha….makes me so happy 😀

[@user-fb9yt9vp1q]

Are you my fricken brother!

[@user-fb9yt9vp1q]

Geez no wonder the look, ha ha ha

[@brucethompson1879]

Incredible together !

[@MrJoelalcasey1971]

I have the HD35 brilliant acoustic myself

[@jimneumann6099]

Dude! Your voice is great too! ❤😊

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

Control the muted-ness ! :) 7:17

[@annettebaggett]

Frans and Hans, love it !

[@logofthelex2668]

This is a classic. 😂😂❤

[@freesk8]

Thanks! :)

[@greghiggins9635]

U guys rock

[@peterwolf3001]

great stuff. more right handers please

[@Man_Cave]

Johnny Cash, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon and Elvis are all examples of people who were crappy guitarists, but could write goods songs.

[@pgnandt]

Cobain doesn't fit that list. Everything he did was crappy.

[@watchfan6180]

er eh er eh??

[@benmaguire4098]

Hey you Guy's lol this made a 67 year old Muso smile .. Thank God for KZbin & at some real good Player's but not too serious .. I am Scot's / Irish & stuck in the Backwoods of Ye olde Englande .. where Hobbit's came from & I wondered if you had heard of the 10 Dollar Bill Trick ?? Probably Yes but maybe some other Folk's would like to know for Home recording which is all I do these day's .. So I heard that a stiff Note slid under & through the Strings can be used as a Damper & help's to get Johnny's recorded sound on some Track's .. Last time I played Live was at a Local " Win a Thousand £££'s " band's & Solo Artist's welcome Competition .. Well I got through to the Final's & My Wife overheard this young Band ( who won ) Describe me as sounding a bit Like Johnny Cash .. so I was Happy .. anyway it was a Thousand £'s worth of Free Studio Time at a Local Studio & I guess it would probably have run into overtime & hidden Cost's lol .. Good luck with the Show /s cheers .. No reply required ..

[@pauladouglass9456]

Here is Johnny explaining his paper between the strings kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKTXgqqKpcZ8f7M

[@ahmki52298]

Maybe the wrong video to ask this on, but I've noticed when I'm strumming often my pick will hit the guitar as well and will cause a tap sound is this normal? If not how do I fix this? Just slow down and really get my strumming motion more fluid?

[@eparock]

yep and tighten the strum into a smaller strum that does not reach the wood.

[@tomheineman4369]

Still waiting for my gift. You have my address. You can send it to me like you promised.

[@jokevv1]

The messages promising you a gift are not from Dovydas, but from scammers. Hopefully you didn't pay them anything.

[@seandaniel23]

Yeah it definitely wasn't from my account. I know there are a lot of internet scammers out there

[@YanilleCastillo]

Whooho u just started to play the song I typed

[@seansnyder2855]

You guys are too funny. No idea how you guys can be complete gods at guitars yet just now discovering the easiest form of muting. Palm muting is the more advanced technique lol. You two should pick up some guitaleles and tune them down to standard with high tension strings; it will force you to use a lot of different techniques that you guys probably aren't used to doing.

[@user-fb9yt9vp1q]

And point?

[@user-fb9yt9vp1q]

Oh reproductive.....

[@user-fb9yt9vp1q]

Oh r u talkin of my daddy O

[@adamwilczynski4718]

Did Dovys wife leave him because of his intolerable ego? Sean you are better than this
