Awesome! 😁

That’s awesome! I’ll have to do a search and see if I can find it! Gotta love Paul’s onstage banter! 😁

You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out the video!

Thanks, Paul. Great to hear!

Thanks, Jim! Indeed, can’t wait to get back!

Awesome!! 😁 It was fantastic hanging out with you guys there!!

Thanks! 😄

Glad you liked it!

Awesome! 😎

Thanks, Scott!!

Thanks!!

Awesome!! 🤩

Oh, wow. Interesting! Was that his Gibson Byrdland guitar? Thanks for the info!

@@RickStack I believe it was the Gibson Byrdland guitar on the record. I was watching him play the Byrdland yesterday at what looked like a convention. He was at booth talking with fans. I checked prices for them. People want astronomical amounts of money. He played Cat Scratch Fever and Journey to the Center of the Mind for the fans. You are welcome. Thanks for the video.

⁠@@Mikex0123 You’re welcome! Very cool. Makes sense that that’s the one he played on the album at that time. I can only imagine the prices. Crazy how much vintage guitars are going for nowadays! Next time I see a Byrdland in a store I will have to grab it off the wall and play some Nugent! 😁

Indeed! Gotta love the A string. 😁

Thanks so much!! I’m really happy you liked the lesson and my channel! 🤩

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!

That’s awesome to hear, Terry! I still have my doubts as to if my videos are worth doing, but even hearing a single comment like this is inspiring to me! 😊 All the best to you, as well.

You are very welcome!

Glad you like it! Thanks!

Thanks!

I’m happy you found it to be helpful!

Indeed! Although, ironically, I might end up taking this video down. I’m afraid it might be a little confusing. I still like the concept and think it could be useful to people, so we’ll see…

Don’t take it down it’s a good one !!!!!

@@Job.Well.Done_01 Awesome, glad you like it!! 😁

Thanks! 😊 Lollar High Wind Imperial pickups, and the guitar is a Campbell American- Fuzix model. I’ve had four guitars built by the same builder out in New England. He stopped making guitars now though. I found them from somebody that I’ve studied with who is a professor at Berklee College of music in Boston. David Fiuczynski. Not to get too far off topic, lol, but check him out. He plays a double neck guitar often and the tap neck is fretless. Amazing player!!

That would be awesome! Thanks for the interest. I do online lessons if you are ever interested. If you go to my website: rickstack.com, there is a way to contact me. I know it's not the same as in-person, but it can work quite well. I have even bought people outside the USA.

Awesome!

A Les Paul would be great on this song! I don’t own one, otherwise I would’ve played it for the lesson.

Thanks, I’m glad you liked the lesson! Sorry to hear about your tendinitis. It’s definitely frustrating!

Thanks, John!!

Awesome, thanks!!

Thanks! I hope all is well with you, too! I’m glad you liked the lesson! I’ve been busy with some other stuff, but looking forward to getting back to doing some new lessons soon. I appreciate the interest and support! 😊

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thanks!

The original song is 124 BPM. I would try going about half that speed and see how it feels. If it’s still too fast, you could go slower, and if it seems too slow, you could go faster. I find that people often go too fast though. It’s always best to start simple and make it easy for yourself first. And then as the days and weeks go by you can always speed it up! A note about metronomes though: They can be quite tough to play with at first. So in my opinion, you don’t necessarily have to play with a metronome at first. Just wanted to mention that in case you have a hard time with it. I’ve seen so many people get frustrated with trying to use a metronome. They definitely have their place though! Another thought is to eventually try to play along with the song itself. That’s what I did when I was first starting out. There’s software that slows things down now, but there wasn’t when I was first learning. So I just had to throw on the original track and try to keep up! 😁

Great question! Yes, I definitely mute the A string with the tip of my index finger. There may be times when my thumb also reaches over far enough to do that, but I would say I rely on my index finger. This also helps if you want to get rid of the low A note on the sixth string and just play three note voicing. Best of luck with it!

Thanks very much 👍👍.

@@darrenmcinerney2212 You are very welcome!

Sounds like a plan!! :)

Awesome! Great to hear!

Thanks!! 😎

Awesome, Bob. You’re welcome. Glad you got something out of it! Cool take on it sounding like Eric Johnson. He does use wide intervals in cool ways!

same impression!
