Having been in the technical training business for forty years (and still working at it), I've had the opportunity to observe and practice many different techniques and styles of "Getting the message across". If this was your first instructional video, you are definitely on the right track. Your introduction, overview, and demonstrations were spot-on in my opinion. From what I've just seen, I believe your audiences will get a lot from this and future productions.

I have been playing guitar for a long time but have always had a hard time figuring out my specific sound. However, after watching your videos, I can see that I have always wanted to play "rockabilly" style guitar, but just didn't know it. My current rig is a PRS Sonzera 20 amp, and for my pedal board I have a ODR 1 overdrive pedal, an Ibanez tube screamer pedal, and a small stone (like a phaser) , and a Liquid Chorus pedal. I now see that the reason I wasn't getting the right sound is because I didn't have the pedals that you have on your rig that gives you an iconic rockabilly sound. I currently have a Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollowbody guitar and a Custom American Telecaster. I am so happy that I found your channel because it's help me to find what I want my true sound to be. Thank you again and I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)

This was so helpful. I’ve played acoustic guitar for over 25 years, but didn’t get my first electric (a Gretsch G2420 hollowbody) until just a couple years ago. I’m playing through a Vox modeling amp and even though it’s fun to fiddle around with all the different tonal options that are possible, it’s hard to learn specific settings to get specific sounds without just stumbling across them by sheer dumb luck. With this lesson, I can put together similar settings on my amp to what you’re doing with your tweed amp and pedal setup and get one of the sounds my guitar was really designed for. I’m really excited. The lead riffs are helpful too for an old rhythm-strummer who’s stuck in his ways. Thanks very much for posting!

Clint's right there, pick right next to the bridge on the LP, eq the amp to cut the bass but ramp up the mid and treble- according to taste but definitely turn 'em up. Turn on the 'bright' or 'presence' switch if you have that. Run the bridge pickup tone at 10, modulate with your volume pot. Same for a Tele I think but you're starting out closer to the zone.
