Got any requests for what we should play next? 🎸

[@ikeysmusic]

Jesus is the sweetest name I know

[@leinadetoo7863]

Sure: Now thank we all our God

[@VictorEdemSetordjie]

anything you play, we go listen 😂

[@RichfieldFearless]

@@VictorEdemSetordjieexactly 😂😂

[@ntsachoungchristian]

Autumn leaves 😍

[@chimebukaanyanwu5005]

Goes ahead to play jazzy country blues

[@hubertsumlin9697]

Right

[@shanevan1]

Which all find their roots in Gospel music and playing 😅...

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Appreciate the love, brother! Giving all the glory to Him for the skills, and happy to share it!

[@TonyYikes]

I was just looking for the reason why. Nice playing but no explanation

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

I know right, will note that in future videos. Thanks for dropping a comment@@TonyYikes

[@JesseStevenPollom]

Y’all sick boys, praise God!

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Haha, thanks Jesse! Glad to have another member of the sick-and-praising-God squad 😉. Keep being awesome! brother.

[@groovelife415]

Beautiful playing. I haven't heard much gospel guitar as I am not a man of faith. What I did hear as a kid when I was made to go to church, the guitar was reduced to an instrument with way too much chorus that played triads almost exclusively. What you gentlemen were playing in this video was beautiful and very jazzy. Kudos to you for finding something to believe in as well!

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Really appreciate the kind words Groovelife, I'm glad the music speaks to you, regardless of faith. There's a whole world of beautiful and soulful guitar work within the gospel genre, I'm always happy to expose more people to it! For me, it's how I connect with something deeper. Thanks for checking it out!

[@temjenimsong]

That is a very brave decision you've made, lifting Jesus and glorifying His Name above all things. You will not regret the move. May Jesus lift you higher and use you mightly for His Glory. My Respect to you brother.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Thank you, @temjenimsong! It's a blessing to connect with people like you who understand the importance of lifting Him up through music. I couldn't be happier about the journey. And may God bless you as well!

[@eugene2573]

[@minunianda4629]

You guys sound like a gospel version of Chet Atkins and Les Paul. 🔥🔥🔥

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Whoa, that's an incredible compliment! Chet and Les Paul are absolute legends. Thanks so much for saying that! Minunianda

[@minunianda4629]

Basically we know that gospel and Blues with country ballads are the roots... and sister Rosetta Stone is the mother of rock and roll that came out of church.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

You definitely know your stuff! @fordsrestorations. Always appreciate folks like you who bring those historical connections to the table. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@MrVesperatu]

I love sister Rosetta, man she could play!

[@dougnice67]

Ironically the blues and negro spirituals have the same roots. Moma them used to say don’t play them blues on Sunday!!! But Moma?!?!😂😂😂

Sweet country music sir🥹

[@985gavinful]

Not country. It's gospel jazz. Blues was stolen from the church, jazz Has its own roots

[@terrywasyluk6502]

That was awesome playing and very uplifting. Thanks for sharing. Ever thought of doing an album just like this clip??? I'd buy it for sure, and I'm sure alot of others would also.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Wow Terry! You seriously just made my day. That means the world to me. An album is a big step, but I'm loving this idea. Keep an eye on the channel, might have some news about that soon 😉. Keep being awesome!

[@PlayingInVestapol]

Wow, I actually thinking of quitting Gospel to try Country or Carolina Beach. I've been doing Gospel since 1970. Time for something else. I love watching Educated hands. I recently was in concert with Thomas Rhyant . His playing is other worldly. This reminds me My Brothers ,Cousins and myself would get together on a Saturday Morning. We didn't stop until saturday night.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

50+ years, that's dedication! It's clear you love music and that's what matters most. I completely get that! Musical exploration is so important, and if you're feeling the pull towards Country or Beach music, go for it! who knows, maybe you'll bring some of that back into your new sound! So cool to hear about those family jam sessions too! Remain blessed brother.

[@tuomasniskanen3099]

❤

[@richdunn9799]

Amazing Grace and When the Saints Go Marching In may seem too obvious but you guys would "mercifully" kill on both!! Great playing from you both! Don't hesitate to break down what you are playing and/or the concepts behind it. I want more gospel in my blues and more blues in my gospel. God bless you both!

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Thanks! RichDunn, so glad you dug it. More than happy to breakdown those improv concepts.

[@LazaMan101]

Awesome performance, you two have great musical chemistry together. How long have you 2 been playing?

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Hey, thanks for noticing! It's crazy how quickly we fell into a groove playing together. We only just started collaborating more, but it's all about sharing that love for God and gospel music. So glad you dig it!

[@albanbass2623]

Wooow mind blowing🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍😍. Could you please do a tutorial for us…????

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Haha, thanks so much! Love the enthusiasm! Definitely adding this to my tutorial list - thanks for the awesome suggestion Alban.

[@andlinux]

Well played, I love it and I love Jesus.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Amazing! So glad it resonated with you, and all glory to Him. Bless you! Andlinux

[@freatboard1]

really amazing 🙏😍 anyway what's the name of Guy you're playing with bro?!

[@craigbrowning9448]

I've had someone try to slam my hands in a Piano Fallboard (of a Fellowship Hall) in a Church, never had that happen in a bar.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Wow, that's absolutely awful. I'm so sorry you had to experience something like that, especially in a place that should be welcoming (within a church community). I'm so sorry you went through that.

[@adrielenehizena7505]

Who be these guys?😅 Omô una good abeg!🙌🏽 Respect!

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Haha, thanks man! Appreciate the love, brother! And welcome to the family! where we learn, grow, and have fun together. Giving all the glory to Him for the skills, and happy to share it! - glad you're feeling it!

[@leinadetoo7863]

Ohhh chairman 😂😂😂😂

[@FizzyP]

I feel like every genre is potentially gospel guitar, no? This playing is beautiful, by the way. So much touch.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

That's a really interesting point! There's definitely a spiritual aspect to all music. Really appreciate your perspective and the compliment! FizzyP

[@calebcadainoo]

2:34 this part got me 😂😂

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Same here Caleb. Thanks for watching!

[@ObedNLamptey-ir7fp]

What’s the best scale to use to solo apart from pentatonic

[@ikeysmusic]

Awww chairman

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

I appreciate the love...

[@MrStanleyMilton]

I don't know what "gospel guitar" is. I hear jazz and blues riffs through all of this gospel songs chord structure. It is very nice tho'... God bless you guys.

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

You've got a good ear! There's a lot of overlap between those styles, and it's always cool to connect with someone who hears those influences. Really appreciate you listening! Stanley

[@samuelpiedjou4609]

how to play like that ! OMG🔥🔥😥😥

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

You sure can and take this from me Samuel. I believe in you, it's just a matter of time. Keep rocking on, my friend!

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Thanks for showing love to the channel Katalayitata. I appreciate the kind words.

[@mawutoredemawuku1051]

Please are you sure if I sign up for the website I can get to this level 😢...

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

It would be wonderful if I could wave a magic wand and turn you into a guitar master overnight, but no one becomes a guitar master overnight! The truth is, it takes practice and dedication. What I can guarantee is that: if you're willing to do the work (practice) by following the lessons we've laid out in the course, you're gonna see serious results and help you level up your playing as quickly as possible. Think of it like a roadmap - to get to where you want to go, it helps you get there a lot faster. I can 't wait to see how you transform your playing when you sign up on our website. Up for the challenge?

[@geoblu7]

Hey, What kind of whammy bar do you have on the jazzmaster?

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Hey Geoblu, that's the Goldo Tremolo System. Check it out in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSan36Mgsl0hM0&pp=ygUUaGFybGV5IGJlbnRvbiBqYSA2MCA%3D. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.

[@jimorgain63]

hard to play clean at first it feels weird

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

I totally get that! Clean playing takes a different kind of focus. it's all about building that muscle memory and getting comfortable. You'll be surprised how quickly it starts to click.

[@user-ii8yq7tv5w]

Just one question: Is the gospel a message or a style of music?

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

That's a great question! It's a bit of both, honestly. For me, the core of it is that message of faith and salvation. It's about expressing gratitude and celebrating salvation through music.

[@brazilianmegaman258]

Christ is king

[@CleanPlayGuitars]

Amen to that! Glad to connect with another believer. Thanks BrazilianMegaMan, may His light continue to shine through us.

[@D.O.TMUSIC]

You two have destroyed my carrier as a professional guitarist already, i think have move to percussion instruments 🤔😢. Because eeiiii😂😂😂

Aww.. not at all Michael. We all here to learn, grow, and have fun together. I believe in you bro.

[@matthewbansford]

[@sum212]

So gospel is only about prayers to Jesus?

[@johnny6904]
