[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much my friend. Cheers :)

[@gtrdoc911]

Damian, you're the only YT guitar instructor that I click the like before even watching the video. You always bring your A game.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much for the kind words. It really means a lot to me. Keep on rockin' my friend. :)

[@brynttr]

I like this guy and his sincere enthusiasm. Great player too

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for the kind words. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)

[@sunshinepickers7108]

Most definitely the slickest licks ever. Didn't think I could play it when I first saw it but you broke it down section by section and I got it! That was magic. Thank you, Damian!!

[@kaitaia88]

Great stuff Damian. Your the man. Keep them coming. Really good format. Maybe you could give some tips on how to incorporate your style into country rock.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much :)

[@BobbyYoho]

Thank you Damian. Your videos are the coolest. The world is a better place with you in it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent and time to post so many great videos and lessons. Long Live Rockabilly!.........and Gretsch Guitars.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Bobby for the kind words. Cheers & keep on rockin' my friend :)

[@ethanpunto9222]

What an amazing tutoial, the licks are very simple to learn yet sound incredibly effective. And the structure of the lesson is so concise and not only that but you know EXACTLY where in the progression you are when carrying out the solo, which i find other tutorials lack. I just got back into guitar after a long hiatus away which has led me to being really rusty and i just learned this in a couple hours. Now to polish it up and get it up to speed! Thanks so much

[@billregan1981]

Love that Gretsch!!

[@Damianblf]

It's a sweet color. Thanks for watching. :)

[@RootsRockRebel]

Damian, you are truly a great teacher. You know how to take sophisticated concepts and break them down into easy to understand, digestible parts. And, please, sell me that 5230!!! Lol.

[@jakemf1]

Thank you Kelly. Keep on rockin' my friend. :)

[@kdrake777]

Please consider setting up a website where your DVD lessons can be streamed for those with a paid account . I don’t want to download or buy a DVD and some updated courses would be good. I would definitely buy an all access pass to a website like that. I stream all my lessons form my iPad.

[@fender4brad]

Very tasty playing and tone, I’ve got to take the time to learns something of your stuff!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@markligget341]

Thank you Mark. Glad you're enjoying the lessons. :)

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

I’m mostly into classic rock and blues but I tried this to do something different and it was very fun and enjoyable. Thank you.

[@Damianblf]

Awesome. I'm glad to hear that and thank you for watching the video. :)

[@ix-Xafra]

The only guitar tuition package I ever bought was in 1975. It was called "Lead Guitar" by Harvey Vinson A book with a thin plastic 33rpm plastic record attached with 12 bar backing tracks. Must be time to pull the wallet out and advance my tuition again!

[@Damianblf]

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. :)

[@andyrios2367]

Wow this is so awesome!!! The intro was so beautiful and joyful!!!!!

[@Damianblf]

[@TS-Music-57]

Damian, thanks for sharing this. This is just another example of happy sounding, foot stomping licks you have shown. I especially like the blues based chords you have chosen. I'll have to add it to my list of keepers to work out. Watching your vids always puts an even bigger smile on my face! 😃 Happy 4th 🎸🎉

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying the lessons :)

[@Damianblf]

Thank you Kevin :)

[@roscoebeach5658]

Love this channel! Damian teaches great stuff and he really looks like he sincerely enjoys sharing his knowledge. If you play guitar there’s Useful stuff here. These are really great licks in this video and fun to play. I keep coming back to this because I love this guitar. It went from “hey that’s a pretty Cool guitar” to “Wow I really love that guitar” to “I gotta have one!” The color, the tone, the tailpiece, the fretboard, the inlays, the headstock, the pick guard. Classic!! I’m guessing it’s a Gretsch Japanese reissue (which are terrific). I’ve owned a few vintage electrics and was always afraid to play them or take them anywhere. Wondering what model this is. Never owned a Gretsch but always liked the looks and sound of the White Falcon , Tennessean, etc.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. The guitar model is a G5230 Electromatic Jet FT. I'm not sure if they are currently making this color anymore. I think it was a limited release that was only available at Chicago Music Exchange and Andertons.

[@antoniogambacorta8217]

You great Dam! Much love from Italy

[@Damianblf]

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

[@bluesybruce]

Another great lick Damian, very melodic which is what I especially like - you can even hum this lick .... brilliant, and not too difficult. Sincerest thanks.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Keep on rockin' my friend. :)
