[@3cardmonty602]

I’d like to see some Joe Walsh “Funk 49”, “Rocky Mountain Way”, or old James Gang “Walk Away” lessons

[@teriakamoto]

Here here

[@jamesgist8582]

thats never going to happen here...

[@davidreidy5750]

That would be sick!

[@americanagothic7851]

Best comment here, and if it happens I’m subbed!!

[@guitarocd9984]

Damn my three favorite things. Fender Esquires, Billy Gibbons and a great teacher showing us what to do.

[@ktl4539]

You mean Telecaster? Esquire is Fender's budget line guitar.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

@@ktl4539: No, you are incorrect. SQUIRES are “budget line” Fenders whereas ESQUIRES are Telecasters with only one rear/bridge pickup.

[@gergemall]

Right on

[@tomwicks8953]

Couldn’t have said it better ! Thanks for the video 🎉

[@steveb4400]

Robert! This is the reason I signed up for your courses. You expand my view of what can be done! Thank you!

[@emerybraun4698]

Not only are you informative, you’re also super enjoyable to watch. Great teacher

[@kbroomall]

Rob, thanks so much for sharing things like "this is what I had to practice to get started" including the stripped-down basic "every other" technique. Appreciate the tips man!

[@brianrial352]

Thank you for this video Robert! I've been stuck in a rut with my way of playing for a couple years. I've watch tons of videos on here but this is the one that's helped me take a step up with new ideas. Much appreciated.

[@Mr.D34]

That's just great man! The Rev is the man! It's so great to see a great video from someone who understands his playing and his tone instead of just putting heavy fuzz and octave pedal on. His tone is in his fingers and touch. As a big Billy Gibbons fan one thing i noticed in his playing lately is that he doesn't waste any notes. It's like a beautiful poetry! I feel like that's what you tried to go for here.

[@cwness4587]

This video made up for last one about the SG. I bought mine because at my age it was the ticket for playing at summer festivals in 90 degree heat. 6.2 lbs made the difference and I just learned to deal with the SG's flaws. Now this video is what I look for and sent to the ones I mentor this address and told them to listen and learn. The phone got busy with questions and I just told to listen again you covered all the questions better then I could. Great lesson!!! CW

[@johnhoward2687]

Cool lesson. Love Billy. I can’t wait to learn the riff. Thanks Robert.

[@robertmakins5070]

I've been playing guitar for 30 years and you taught me something today. God job. Thanks.

[@JimmyRadloff]

This was a good lesson. Every player should have this in their arsenal. Sweet sounding Esquire too.

[@user-jt8sw8jm5n]

I don't think every player should know this, then everybody be doing it and it loses it's impact on the ears. Plus many rock players aren't moved, like you and me, by this killer sound.

[@wildbob8650]

Perfect timing! I've been working on sharp dressed man all week!

[@patpearson9139]

Great lesson! Love this series. You mentioned Fogerty a few times, it made me remember how much I love CCR. It would be cool to do a lesson on him. Another great one would be R.L Burnside.

[@sanjsurativideo]

Love your work brother. Thanks for making my Sunday 🙌🙌

[@friedrudibega6384]

You're a very good teacher. I've been playing for a long time and I always click if even for a refresher, especially the technique stuff.

[@Boogieplex]

He does this all over in “Blue Jean Blues”, wich is one of the best blues tunes ever.

[@matthewgavin3626]

Very sweet tone on this one.

[@Schlumpf.Meister]

He does it twice in BjB

[@Boogieplex]

@@Schlumpf.Meister I never counted, i just know its in there more than once. Ill take your word its twice.

[@markpell8979]

Ever notice "Jesus Just Left Chicago" has the same basic progression and groove?

[@hearpalhere]

Sweet riffing Robert! Nobody swings/grooves harder than Billy Gibbons. These kind of licks are quintessential to his sound. Thanks for sharing!

[@robsgarage4746]

Thank you for the lesson. Great vid!

[@MarbsMusic]

Stapleton's "The Devil always made me think twice" has a lot of these elements as well! Excellent lesson!

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

Stapleton is a pretty good guitarist that gets overlooked! He's awesome live!

[@BustaBeatMooses]

Your vid came along just in time. Billy G is the man! I’m starting my approach to playing blues this month and I’m super pumped about these tips! Cheers 🍻

[@jokermtb]

watched this last night, and this morning I tried this out and I found it's much easier if you thumb pick and finger pick - what a fun lick to get better at. gonna session this one for a while - fantastic!

[@Emas4646]

Great lesson! Love that old Fender. Nice!

[@frederickthompson8686]

Well done, Robert! Love the Rev. and the "hack" was very enjoyable!

[@antoinecerceau2240]

Thx you so much ! i know what I have to work this Sunday !

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

Wow... so awesome to be able to readily watch and understand...that will go a long way to helping my sound out! thank you so much...

[@racerdaveracerdave]

This is super cool. Never really saw a take on it like this before. Great job! Now I gotta get to practicing!

[@mikemclean6242]

I have been playing for 20+ years. This was a great lesson and I have some new tricks...

[@briannelms158]

Great lesson Robert! Thanks for sharing !👍👍

[@raffaele.eleonorafrazzi6387]

Thanks for this class, it was very useful. I learnt a lot. Cheers from Italy.

[@MrPiccoloFan]

Billy Gibbons a true pioneer. Thanks for the video!!

[@mantashaft]

The sound of that tele was incredible in your intro... I still need to watch the vid

[@evianbidet3553]

Man, great lesson. Such a true hack. I'm not of your caliber by any stretch of the imagination; but this has opened up a whole new area for practice and improvement for me. Many thanks.

[@josephanderson3254]

Thanks so much for your lesson absolutely love Billy Gibbons Style I set up one of my guitars with Duncan pickups the neck position was a 59 and then the bridge position was the Pearly Gates Billys signature pickup and both pickups had push pull. Knobs to go from humbucker to single coil sounds good togeather. Very nice sound keep the lessons comeing

[@karlbjornsson9090]

Thanks for the lesson ☺️

[@lisasez]

Good balance of talk and action...🎸👏

[@jamesglynn4192]

Never get over how clean ur setup is

[@ChristofferKeizer]

Awesome lick lesson, brotherman.

[@mortbot]

dude, awesome hack, the way you broke it down was great!

[@EasyHeat]

I've been recently digging on some Gibbons tunes. Man I'm going the practice the shizzle out of this lesson!! Thank you!

[@gordonnewman9037]

ShiZZle....I saw what you meant. Can’t Top that!

[@DannyVaughnOfficial]

This is a great tutorial! Thanks for breaking this down so simply. I've always wanted to get to know more about The Revs hybrid picking style.

[@robtoc]

Wow great stuff Robert! Thank you! SUBSCRIBED!

[@brucehowell7825]

Awesome, I'm going to try it. Thanks

[@hansfreekit]

great tips thanks man - love Billy

[@calebchristopher9283]

heck yeah i can dig it man. thank you for the video

[@brucehowell7825]

Sounds a lot like the group Clutch style. I like it. Must learn now.

[@aaronbickford8725]

Man…I can’t thank you enough for opening my eyes to Mr. Gibbons’ unique style and playing technique! I mean, I always appreciated the man’s guitar sound but, for whatever reason, I never payed much attention to certain aspects of what he was playing and, more importantly, how he was playing it! So…thank you!

[@mopswurst543]

Great lesson!!! Thx Greetings from Germany

[@elis.2996]

I also hear this riff variation in Eric Johnson's Song for George...very cool!

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I feel like Billy isn't mentioned enough among the greats but all the greats always love him when he's mentioned to them. I also think he has the coolest pinches in rock as well.

[@guitarocd9984]

I remember in the mid-70s commenting on his tone every time one of their songs came on the radio. What I didn't know was one of the secrets was the hybrid picking. Billy Gibbons is my God.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

@@guitarocd9984 Yeah I've also always thought his tone was ahead of his time and there was a certain level of mystery to it. I feel like the 80's stuff sorta gets held against him because it became more of a processed type sound but his tones from the 70's are absolutely incredible and oddly enough I know he's known as a Les Paul player but I really think of him as a Tele player.

[@guitarocd9984]

I agree the seventies Tone was more Raw. But when he does those fancy songs from the 80s live you can still hear the rawness. Definitely his tone was ahead of its time.

[@guitarocd9984]

Did you see his tele being sold on guitar of the day. I wanted that guitar so bad.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

@@guitarocd9984 Yeah Rough Boy is one of his 80's songs and I love that nasty tone he gets on that. An actual staple of the 80's was over production so it wasn't like he was the only one guilty of it.

[@JonBajuelo]

Great lesson! Excited to hear the news you teased at the end. Gilmour would make for a great lesson. Possible curveball could be someone like Brent Hinds of Mastodon. Either way, thanks for sharing your expertise with us!! 🎸🤘

[@secohen73]

Great stuff, Robert. Thank you!

[@user-hm8xi5zt5c]

You helped me understand keys finally... Thank you.. key of G.. G string wow thanks

[@congorianso]

Great Lesson!

[@rogerYT69]

awesome riff thank you very much!!! like the style of Billy G.

[@df6496]

great stuff Robert!

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Great ideas,, the sound is so blues.

[@davidchiasson4262]

I really like this stuff man!! keep it up

[@BooBoo-mv9if]

Nice bro!!!! No matter what her levels we can always learn something new thank you

[@tiernanfoss]

Great video Robert! Thanks!

[@martinsavage6838]

Class! Great ideas there.

[@ralph0808z]

Google is watching! The day after I saw this RB video a busking Billy Gibbons (in Finland) showed up on my KZbin home page.

[@isaacjohnson.]

great lesson Robert!

[@ronniecoffey9945]

Sweet Tones Bro !!! great Hillbilly bends, Luv Billy's style, u sound just like him

[@ewoe21]

Great lesson. Thanks

[@brendanhannegan1212]

I like how you simplify things. Makes learning new styles fun.

[@alanhamel3577]

@robertbaker Hey man, around the 10:00 minute mark, you talk about hitting that low E string on your way back to the G. It's called a passing tone....which is a note that's not in the chord, but can be used as a "pass through" on your way back to the chord tones. I remember this from music classes in school. Yes, I actually paid attention....sometimes. LOL Thanks for the great lesson! So cool! 😉

[@EastCoastPat24]

Awesome! Plugging the guitar in right now!!! 🤘🤘

[@fabienv1146]

Excellent video Robert!!

[@FrankNStein-cp6qm]

Great lesson thanks !

[@fluxerflixer1]

Love me some Billy Gibbons!!! TY!

[@fen79strat]

Robert: I'm glad you did this. I think this will go great with Chet style double bass bump for changes!

[@briancroner3717]

Thanks for sharing that technique.

[@b.rodclark7349]

Right away I'm playing a bit of 'Cheap Sunglasses' followed by 'OHH YEAAH'!

[@ed6322cal]

What a great lesson. Thanks!

[@lostreb]

Thanks for the Billy F Gibbons Hack (and Tab)!! Like mentioned below, I wouldn't mind some Joe Walsh hacks.

[@juno7893]

Great video. Thank you.

[@sirfultonbishop]

Great topic! Lovin’ me some Rev. ...and Rick needs an Esquire!

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

That opening riff was great! Makes me sorry I don't have one to trade with you!

[@altstuder]

so awesome- thank you!!!

[@bluzedogg]

thnx, man. very cool. gibbons is the man.

[@DannyBrooks1]

David Grissom does this too. Thanks for the lesson!

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

The reverend is one of the people who made me wanna start pickin. Not to mention that beard! 🎸🎸🤘

[@davidjean2635]

Man that is sweet tone!! Would love to see your take on one of my all time favs.. The king of smoking pickups, Ace Frehley!! Thanks again for another great installment!!

[@donmccown6645]

Great explanation!

[@briano.5746]

I love that Esquire Robert! ☠🎸🎶🎵👽

[@aleksifradet1654]

Hey man!!! I’ve always adored your content and playing and you’ve taught me so much about gear and different techniques. I feel like us fans don’t thank you enough. Thanks so much man. P.S. If it interests you, I for one, would love to see you do a video on Roy Buchanan (my favourite player of all time). Have a great day my friend and thank you again for everything you do!!!

[@kylecravens8052]

Love it man! That slide down from the C# to C over that open G is that classic Billy Gibbons move that I've always loved! Would love to see some hacks / signature riffs from John Levanthal maybe? He's got some amazing stuff that I feel is very usable

[@SRHMusic012]

That's the b5, classic blues move (Db in the key of G).

[@nealrogowski659]

Robert I definitely need an Esquire. Billy Gibbons is my favorite guitarist to emulate and he has never disappointed me live

[@carsgunsandguitars]

You are a great teacher

[@TheLeftyking]

It would super cool to do a Mark knopfler hack.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

Richie Kotzen, Robin Trower, Al Dimeola, Jeff Beck... those four would be one heck of a show by the way... Thank You Mr. Baker... 🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮️

[@andrewwright6893]

Absolute brilliant lesson cheers

[@GearGasms]

Vito Bratta the way he switches turnaround fills in the middle of his riffs to sound almost like two people at times. That would be a great one if you haven’t already done one. Great as always! 🤓🤘🏻🎸

[@shayh.3556]

Guy was a killer player

[@vonzoomtunes9847]

Thanks for this....dig learning from you. Good sounds and real good playing. Thanks, man!!#Rick (and me) needs an Esquire

Favorite Player, Hands Down😎

[@rogerowens5669]

Some Alex lifeson hacks, I have to compliment you on the camera angle and thank you for finally growing a beard✌😎

Billy gots an Esquire. 1959 beater. Love.

[@julieambogo3013]

Amazing good job keep up

[@kengreen6901]

Like, Thank you! Drummer here, looking to play one man band... I don’t know how to play guitar at all, but I am going to use this video as an imprint for my future. This is a very inspiring video and really well done. Set the dials for ZZ!

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I’ve always wanted to take guitar lessons with an instructor. Is this what they’re like? This was awesome
