Hot Rockabilly Guitar Lesson #4 - MAXIMIZE YOUR LICKS

[@Patrizioquattromori]

Great Tom!!! I am 71 y.o. and i am learning guitar from two months about, i love blues and rockabilly. Thank you for your very clear explanation. Great teacher. 👍🤗

[@petset77]

Musical Math. Great term. Music has been defined as the relationship between time and frequency, so musical math is literally what it is. Players/artists working that relationship make music, whether punk rock, rockabilly, or classical music...anything between. It's great that you pointed it out. Well done, and great series. I'm an old retired bass player who was paid to play for fifty years, picking up guitar (and other instrument) pointers in many styles of music to simply expand my vocabulary. Rockabilly is one genre that has always interested me although I didn't play it. I literally yesterday bought a Gretsch 2420T as inspiration for jazz voicing and rockabilly. Thanks for your videos/short tutorials. Well done.

[@tommein]

Thank you for watching and for "getting" it! I appreciate the kind words! Rock on !

[@precisionmotorsvanik7021]

Tom has been gracious enough to show something that all other instructors on KZbin have skipped. Thank you so much!

[@tommein]

Thank you so much!

[@waynechapman4397]

I'm 61...and all I can say...is THANKYOU!!! You're making me a better player with every video of yours I watch....and I've been playing since I'm 15... You're 1 of the best teachers out there !!!

[@tommein]

Thank you so much! I'm 61 too!

[@roughcutguitars]

Truth! (But I'm only 59; what do I know? 😀 )

[@brendanpierce6019]

Thanks for the instruction Tom. I'm still relatively new but you are helping me understand the rockabilly sound and adding great licks to my toolkit.

As a pro player of 30 yrs, I usually watch these vids for entertainment value. I have to say, not only did I enjoy the video, but your playing is excellent and your advice is sound. Keep on rocking. Great job!

[@tommein]

Thank you JFA!

[@KyleKingVideo]

Watched the four of these videos and they're fantastic, thanks so much for making these

[@revjohnh64]

This has been a revelation to me. Thanks for your time and trouble passing on the knowledge

[@tommein]

Thanks Rev!

[@mauriziocremon3992]

Tom, thanks for your lessons. Really great!

[@mstrammd]

I’m 63! Always loved rockabilly (Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Setzer, Robert Gordon, Dave Edmonds/Rockpile) but never explored playing it on guitar for some odd reason. Lately, I’ve been listening to Brian Setzer and dabbling on my Gretsch 6122 Country Gent that hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately. It’s a great instrument and I should play it more often. Your videos have inspired me to work on my rockabilly chops. Also, got inspired to add another Gretsch to my stable, the 6120GTFM Brian Setzer Nashville I got from StreetsoundsNYC. Arriving Tuesday and can’t wait to trying it. Keep the videos coming. You are an excellent teacher and I find your channel both informative and entertaining.

[@leonardcanter4596]

Just Reviewed Hot Rockabilly Guitar Lessons 1 thru 4: Copied all the Tablature this time. Awesome playing & Instruction. Any of the Rockabilly Licks from the Early "Sun Record" Era will be appreciated. Keep "Rockabilly" alive !! Thank You !!!

[@tommein]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

[@johnsimon5286]

Your Rockabilly lessons are awesome! There are so many instructional videos where you have to sit through several minutes of what amounts to ads for the person's media, but you skip all of that and cut right to the delicious blueberry pie dessert! Can't wait for more.

[@tommein]

Thanks man!

[@TheElrondo]

There we go! Instant thumbs up 👍

[@tommein]

Thank you my friend!

I’ve been learning jazz guitar for a year or so, but man, now I’m jazzed about learning rockabilly!

[@alexbaguer4424]

Best rockabilly lesson Tom!! Thank you!!

[@phaserfull]

Nice work. Thanks for posting.

[@gregjhart]

Tom you make an awful lot of sense, I think I had one of those penny dropping moments. Thank you so much you have inspired me during a time that I’ve lost a lot of inspiration. Thank you Greg

[@tommein]

Thank you for watching Greg!

[@merwinjm]

Great Lesson and series Tom! You lesson #1 comments on how to get "that rockabilly sound" are priceless and this lesson works well for rockabilly, but could be applied to any genre.

[@dougnasty99]

Really like your teaching style, good job Tom.

Thank you Emma!

[@ericmork630]

Thanks so much for putting these lessons out, Tom. I have a blues and metal background on guitar and switched to bass for the last few years out of necessity. Just now getting back into guitar and have a rockabilly itch that was never there before. Blues helps, but these lessons really put the finishing touch on this new leaf I've turned.

[@tommein]

Glad you like them Eric!

HI Tom, I rewatched your video today so i was impressed with your great ideas...and I got the explanation on licks over chords (i was thinking about scale position and not chords, so your explanation was actually clear...) Thanks again for making my playing improving

Tom. Thank you for this lesson. I think it will really help me to start to becoming a more independent player.

Man, some great ideas here. Thanks Tom Love the division of that 5 note lick. Made me think of all the possibilities of other licks

[@tommein]

Thanks Matthew! Sometimes little ideas like that yield big results!

[@paulbeckett323]

I agree, I have spent quite a few hours modifying it the licks and got some interesting results,and some rubbish as well.

[@markgronewold4928]

Well done Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to help us get better.

Tom !! Thanks for doing another lesson. Excellent method with tabs plus slow examples then at regular tempo. So helpful. Somehow you even make the darn scales sound good 👍.

[@tommein]

Thankyou Gary!

[@Walks-With-Pride]

Tom, I really think you are on to something here. Your Rockabilly lessons are outrageously good! I like the fact that you use straight talk instead of a lot of complicated music theory and esoteric bullshit, that for me would be boring and way over my head. Your lessons are easy to follow which keeps me interested in learning more. It's time to practice now. I'll catch you again later. Stay strong, my brother!

[@tommein]

Thank you for the kind words my man!

@@tommein - No, thank you Tom! I’ve never really simplified the concept like that, it makes so much sense now that you have said it, glad it got stated out loud by you my friend! I was doing some of that before, but now that I hear it out loud, I can do so much better! Be well! I’ll be looking for a way that makes sense for me (probably through Patreon - when does that go live?) to send a little support your way, I appreciate you!

[@christophersinisi1109]

Very cool series Tom! I have already used the concepts to spice up my own tired boring licks!!!

Thats great! They are designed to be used and it makes me happy that you are finding a good use for them!

Excellent Lesson !!! This was my first viewing and I subscribed: Now I'll watch your first 3 Hot Rockabilly Lessons to see what I've missed. Presently playing a 1992 Gretsch G7594T White Falcon thru a TC Electronics Flashback X4 & SolidGoldFX SurfRider3 into a 1992 Peavey EVH Stack. Switched the setting on the Flashback X4 too Space Echo, from Slapback, after listening to your settings. All other knobs at the 10 O'Clock position. Really like your display of the Tablature on screen and the explanations,, Thanks !!!

One of the best tutorials on here Tom. I’m not a rockabilly player although I love Setzer and have dabbled playing a few tunes by The Cramps if they even fall into that category. It’s just solid, good advice. Rock on buddy!

[@zopilotesky3014]

Nicely done Tom. Breaking it all down to it's simplest parts, then putting each part back together is how I've done it all these years myself. Many thanks!

[@tommein]

I think it's something that experienced players do intuitively but some less experienced players don't get at first, so I thought I'd try to put it in organized form. It's a helpful way of thinking. Thank you for your support friend!

[@CricksWhiteNoise]

Tom, I'm enjoying your videos and how you give practical advice that can be used immediately. I've played for decades and my left hand is pretty good, probably above average. But my right hand kinda sucks. I've tried different picks and hand positions. My first teacher told me to "anchor' my little finger on the pickguard, but I noticed you don't do that. Maybe you've covered this in another video, but could you discuss right-hand techniques?

[@tommein]

Thank you Chris! That is the second request I've had for right hand techniques. I now have it on the list for future videos! Thank you for your support!
