I have such a similar experience with music. My parents bought me a guitar and signed me up for lessons in 6th grade and I never really started playing until I was 22. And now music is my entire life
I love how Joe was like hey man there's nothing wrong with you. When luke was worrying about how he doesn't get super excited over things that basically anyone normal would. But also he loves those moments where he sees his crowd fully engaged with his music. Luke combs def a regular dude who made it big and didn't let it go to his head.
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16
My dad is an amazing guitar player well known in MN. He always told me to learn to read sheet music bc he couldn't. Similar to Luke. I can read and am an okay musician across handful of instruments and singing, but nothing compared to him and guitar. He's got perfect pitch. Love this convo.
A lot of great musicians started by learning by ear. Eddie van Halen, for example. He started by playing piano when he was young and was great at it, but didn't learn to read music even when taking music lessons. His teacher was teaching it with music notation, but Eddie played all of the pieces by ear anyway. His teacher discovered he couldn't read when he asked him to turn the music sheets for the teacher as the teacher played a piece and Eddie failed at the task. However, I believe it took a few years for his teacher to discover that, and Eddie had already won a few national piano competitions for kids at that point. :-) 1.o0
I get what he means about reading music. I can read music, but it doesn’t come easy. I always found that it was easier for me to mimic sounds and rhythms than to pick them up from notes on a sheet.
I can guitar and piano and also gave up on reading music. If I'm not constantly playing a song after learning it though I forget how to play it. I won't ever totally forget the songs and it's easier to relearn once I learned it the first time
The not learning to read music thing happened to me too. My mom had me in violin lessons when I was in pre-school. Expecting me to learn sheet music at that age was just not going to happen. I was learning notes like learning new words, just by listening. I joined orchestra a year early and was first chair the next year. I would fake playing the first times through each piece so I could just listen to the music, and then just knew how to play it. Hated violin tho, quit to learn tennis and other stuff through my teens. Now I'm tone deaf and don't even hear lyrics when listening to the radio. It's weird
He's anything but genuine. If he was he wouldn't of lied on Joe's show and told the truth about how he became famous in music, Ryan Upchurch put him on and his fan base made him and now hates him.
in high school i wanted to be this guy so bad, i even learned how to play his hit song that got him famous “when it rains it pours” and i got pretty good at playing it, but then i stopped. thanks luke for the cool experience and i’m so happy you’re so successful now!
Pretty inspiring story. I taught myself guitar a few years back because of COVID and all the craziness going on, after trying to learn as a kid and giving it up shortly. I'm in love with music now at 23, and man I dream of making money from it one day. Until then, I'll be chefin it up in the kitchen and hating every second of it :). Cheers ✌️🇨🇦.

It was so amazing to hear Luke open up about this as I’ve suffered from it for 10+ years myself. Listen to the song “Hi Ren” and it really puts this whole thing into perspective and it’s life changing.

Larry the cable guy sounds like he's from the south as well, but he's from Wisconsin. Isn't about the sound it's the way he acts an how he's treated people I'm from nc an have talked to people who've known him an hes a mainstream sellout not exactly an opinion when there's been mutiple sources that say hes fake
I'm a talk radio guy so I wasn't sure if I had heard any of Luke's music before. I opened another window and searched him up, and I clicked on a 2-minute acoustic song called 'Beautiful Crazy'. The damn song made me cry. He's really good at that whole music thing. lol
I've been playing guitar for about 2 years and anytime I look at sheet music my brain melts. No lessons either. I didn't want anything to feel forced, and learning it naturally is fuckin awesome
@Magic Jordan yet Joe has had Luke Combs and a handful of other country musicians on the podcast. And Upchurch is FAR from country music. He's ALL genres of music.
Be nice if he showed a little gratitude to the guy who actually gave him his first big break back in 2015. If you know you know if not for Upchurch go carts would still be his career. Honestly who heard of him before his collaboration with church and his 3million fans.
You must’ve missed the part where he basically said ‘I don’t care if I make it big’ cause he was happy just making $200 a night, doing something he enjoyed.
@@marioteston6865 better go see who’s LP was sitting at number 1 last week . BRO… Combs would of never made it if not for Church appearing on his song exposing his fat ass to 3million people who didn’t know his name BRO…
He was a huge part of his success to Ryan Upchurch And somehow Ryan gets forgotten about Well personally Luke combs can’t even lace the shoes of Ryan Upchurch
@Dorklepuss Coming from a person with the name "Dorklepuss" I almost feel offended! Oh wait! Never mind I don't give 2 shits about someone that has the brain capacity of a pez dispenser thinks!
Upchurch did not make shit for Luke combs he might of opened the door a little but Luke combs did what he did by himself lmfao upchurch got more in the long run from having a song with Luke lmaooo
It would be great for him to quit lying how he became known in music cause he didn’t have hardly had a following at all in 2014 and then when he did the song “outlaw” with the chart topping, completely independent, outlaw himself UPCHURCH!!! That song was the first song he ever did that reached tens of millions of views. That was what put him on the music map to become as big as he is.
My head hurts trying to read your comment. How bout a comma or a period, every now and again, instead of two, long ass, run on sentences??? That would truly be great!!!
A fellow Scout leader a few years back was asking for a volunteer to lead some Sunday camp breakup songs. I said I would try and he handed me the song sheets. I looked it over and I knew some of the requests, humming as I looked over the music. The Chaplain laughed and said,"You're a note reading Campbellite!" Having grown up in an acapela Church of Christ, I had learned to read notes because singing was easy and memory was good back then. I remember every inflection of all the music I absorbed throughout my life and I don't understand any of it. I play guitar and some keyboard by ear and can only get by personally with guitar in open "C" tuning. The lazy man's chord. Otherwise, it's just too much math. I entertain an audience of one. Good on you, Luke. You got what you need. I'm 73 now and hum a lot!
I'm almost 40 and still hope to learn to play the guitar. I have played the alto saxophone since the 4th grade so I'm not a complete novice to music. I just need to find the time...
Ive been trying to learn guitar for years now but i just cant do it, other instruments ive no problems with, and thats why im always grateful to hear someone that can
I have played the drums for 32 years now. I self taught beginning when I was 16 and it just came naturally. Through the years I tried over and over to learn stringed instruments and it just wouldn't take, I mean at all. Several years ago I borrowed a guitar from a guy that I had taught to play the drums. He also plays bass and guitar and had attempted to teach me guitar. Long story short. I tossed learning chords or even any known songs out the window and I taught myself a song that I was hearing in my head. When I returned the guitar a couple of weeks later he asked me to show him what I had learned so I played him my song. He was absolutely floored and just said "Do you even realize what you just did" and then proceeded to explain. Apparently the way that what I wrote, and played very well, walked up and down the strings and up and down the neck covered the pentatonic scale in such a way that he said he was still incapable of doing after thousands of hours of learning and playing. Go figure. So what I learned was that I can play beautiful complex music on stringed instruments if it my own music and I play/learn what feels and sounds right to me. I even self taught myself on the banjo, but my kids accidentally broke my banjo while wrestling and I never replaced it.
That happened to me. I took two guitar lessons as a kid because my parents made me do it and I hated it. Then in my late teens I bought a guitar and started tinkering with it and now I can't put it down.
Ryan Upchurch is the one you should have on your show, Joe Rogan. Literally on his own label and he’s made it. Also, a lot more interesting if you ask me.
For the record I don’t listen to this douche Luke Combs either. Funny that Ryan’s so stupid he can’t figure out why he shouldn’t have a confederate flag while rapping. He’s a narcissistic drama queen.
I would say it's more ADD than dyslexia. I've been playing jazz/blues/fusion for 30 years and I'm really good (not to float my own boat) and I can barely grasp music theory. I know the basics and I can read music because I grew up playing the sax, which is just single note reading on the treble clef, but when you start getting into modulation and theory, I get completely lost. The thing is though, players like Jimi and EVH didn't know how to read music. They had a grasp and an ear for music. What makes them great though, is that their playing didn't fall under any rules, because they didn't know "the rules". Most famous musicians and singers could not teach at a high level (such as a Berkley professor), they are just naturally talented and their actual style and abilities get them to where they are.
You’re really good at jazz and fusion but don’t know theory and get lost in modulations? Hendrix and srv didn’t play jazz or fusion. You can get by playing rock and blues without theory but you’ll be a bum on jazz standards.
@@jmathews470 yeah, because upchuck can't stand on his own talent? He's famous locally, that's about it. Country rap sucks is why he hasn't gone any further in music. That and talking sh!t about everyone who has done better than him.
Wtf Luke talking about? He and Kane was not anywhere close to being the first social media anything, matter of fact Luke would’ve never been where he is now without #RyanUpchurchofficial.
Same here. I play 4 instruments but can't read music. I know the basic notes and usually play by ear. Imo that's the best way bcuz I adjust based on tone
Joe please have upchurch on ur podcast i know you only have people on you are interested in talking to urself but if you look into Ryan Upchurch i promise you'd be interested in what hes gone threw his entire career/life. If it wasnt for ryan there would be no luke combs
I'm not even a huge fan of Upchurch or anything, but the dude worked hard to get where he is, he deserves what he's earned. And it makes sense to let him share his story when he helped Luke get to where he is today.
Cant hit a home run on every guest...but Luke is not as exciting as he seems and he def has some people that would call into question his loyalty. (Ryan Upchurch enters the chat.)
Great interview. Luke is really just a regular dude that made it big, but never forgot where he came from. Looking forward to listening to him for many years to come.
This was a dope origin story. Had a passion in music early, pursued the academic route, got kicked in the nuts. Gave up on it, went the college route because you're "supposed" to. Failed at that, found himself at 21 years old - which is young but it isn't when you are 21. You feel the clock ticking on finding a passion - and while having some alone time, decided fuck it. Might as well go for it. At worse, you will fail and be in this same spot anyway. And here he is
Hey Joe, you “love those awesome stories”??? You should reach out to Ryan Upchurch & invite him on your show.. NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING 2 GOATS IN THE SAME ROOM. Just like you Joe, he’s the ORIGINAL... & THE MOST TALENTED.. (not to forget, he’s funny A.S)..

@@bridgelaurie9490 That's really not true for most. Reading music is easy so most musicians learn it. Sight reading maybe not, not always worth the effort depending on the instrument.
Joe Carson is my call… You gotta love a host who is more excited in the guests than himself!!! Nice job Joe and head south to Pharr for some whitewing hunting this September.
Would love to see Joe Rogan bring on Ryan Upchurch if he really wants a from everyday country boy story to a chart topping true independent artist who would do the interview spitting facts and truth. Now that would be a video to actually enjoy and give inspiration for others.
Chart topping? The local radio station in BFE hardly qualifies. Rappin country music is blasphemy and just a fad genre. Thank God it will be a relic soon like A flock of seagulls and wham
@@d.c.intha6066 prove me wrong then sugar britches. I must've missed BET awards for best country rap. Luke Combs 3.5 billion views, 13 #1 singles, Entertainer of the Year awards and on, on. Upchuck 1.9 billion views so about half and what other recognitions?
Well Joe you have to invite Ryan Upchurch on your show now. Especially since Luke lied and he can tell you the truth about this sellout and how he actually got his first fame in music through Ryan Upchurch and #CreekSquad
For the longest time I couldn't read music and only played through chord diagrams or tabs, until I finally found like a reading music for kids book that was simple enough to start. Also, kudos to his mom for encouraging him to learn guitar.
@@alejandronopasanada5302 The book's name is: theory made easy for kids by Lina Ng book 1, note, this is really introductory and even comes with stickers. If you want something more grown up there's Learn to read music by Howard Shanet. This books are really great
@@JesseFloyd1991 The book's name is: theory made easy for kids by Lina Ng book 1, note, this is really introductory and even comes with stickers. If you want something more grown up there's Learn to read music by Howard Shanet. Both books will get you there
So stoked to hear you like colter wall !!! He’s my favourite artist by far , I’ll be stoked if you ever get him on the podcast 🙌🏻 Kate McCanon is my favourite song !
Most musicians who learn to play by ear and teach themselves their instrument struggle to learn how to read site/sheet music, but the saving grace is we know what the chords are so we can reed chord sheets. The more creative and motivated musicians in my opinion.
Like his music but he was not 1 of the first to make it off social media.. He went big by playing with Upchurch than he got woke and apologized for there being rebel flags in the videos.. he kinda sold out for the woke side of country music..
Luke Combs did not have a career until @ryanupchurch put him in the "Outlaw" song in 2015. (Which Ironically, luke turned out to be the very thing he sang against in the song) Ryan Upchurch is the first country star to get a career off of social media! Tell the truth joe.
Luke combs Before I met Luke, I had already won an Emmy and worked with artists. Trace Adkins, Michael Ray, Cole Swindell, Craig Campbell, Craig, Morgan, lonestar Randy Houser. I Produced and engineered and Mixed and Vocal coaching for the first three songs that Luke ever recorded in his life Including the song that they added Upchurch to Can I get an outlaw That I produced for Luke I hired Musicians that ended up being on his number one smash Hurricane. He hadn’t recorded any songs “ever” I had modest gear that I upgraded, and he came back and recorded three more songs And then I upgraded more gear and he came back and recorded six songs that I produced and engineered and Vocal coaching That ended up on his first five times platinum album When I met Luke, he had awesome instincts, rhythmically, and Tone But I taught him a lot of the tricks of singing in the studio that I learned from Seth Riggs when I was in Los Angeles for five years, and he taught Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder Prince Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand, Hall & Oates, David Coverdale, Sebastian Bach, and too many others to list. And then I moved to Nashville and studied voice with Renee Grant, Williams, who taught Christina Aguilera, Garth Brooks, and all of the super stars of the 90s and early 2000s before she passed away Both of those Vocal Coaches being iconic I shared all of that information and taught Luke how to sing in the studio But his instincts were already on the way to greatness Rock on Luke
@elijahwhitaker908 Quick Google search shows Luke has about 6x the monthly streams as Upchurch so.... no. He's not bigger. He's obsessed with a past slight and his fans lapp it up and comment nonsense years later. Who cares man. Let it go.
I think a lot of people aren’t giving enough attention to one little detail. All this success and the lifetime of opportunity that’s before him was set in motion by one thing. A mothers encouragement. Talk to your kids, your family, your friends. You don’t know how big one small gesture could be
It’s always amazing to me how non-musicians are fascinated with musicians who don’t read music. Music is from the heart. You don’t have to read. Reading won’t help you create either.
Luke is a dude who is a perfect example of having g trade schools for kids, not every kid is book smart they would rather be doing all day! He seems so genuine, look at him now! Love to meet him, I sing a lot of his stuff!
Wow, he seems totally different than his music. No mention of Ryan Upchurch, Can I get an outlaw? People try to erase the past and rewrite history. Smdh.
Anyone else not have this episode pop on their Spotify til they searched it ? I saw this video went to his channel it wasn't there so then I searched it saw shane gillis was on the 17th went back to the channel to see that since I'm saving luke combs for work tomorrow and didn't see his episode. So searched it and there it was then clicked back on his channel page and it was there when it wasn't less than a minute earlier.
I've been playing the drums since i was 12. Can't read music. I mean, I know notes and time signatures and how they sound and what they mean, but if you put them together and ask me to play it. I can't do it.
I’ve been playing guitar for 21 years and can barely read sheet music. I can read tablature and chords obviously, but knowing how to read sheet music doesn’t really mean that much.
Ryan Upchurch is responsible for me ever knowing who Luke was....WAS! "We don't need another purdy boy singing them purdy songs... fake country boys doin country all wrong!"
I always wanted to do something with music. I HATED music in school, I ended up getting kicked out the classes, all they taught was classical music theory crap. I had a guitar for years and never got past being a very very beginner. When I was in my early twenties just for fun I got a ukulele because I thought it would be easy. It was pretty easy tbh. I always liked rock music though, so wasn't really my vibe. I then bought a bass guitar because I thought f*ck it, it still has 4 strings, and I always loved Queen for their groovy songs. Just came up on a year playing, I no longer spend all of my free time gaming, I'm in a band now, we just released our first song and I'm having a great time, I love learning and trying to to improve!
I have such a similar experience with music. My parents bought me a guitar and signed me up for lessons in 6th grade and I never really started playing until I was 22. And now music is my entire life

I'm a talk radio guy so I wasn't sure if I had heard any of Luke's music before. I opened another window and searched him up, and I clicked on a 2-minute acoustic song called 'Beautiful Crazy'. The damn song made me cry. He's really good at that whole music thing. lol
Luke combs is a amazing country singer my favorite
Bring @Upchurch on your show !!!
I've been playing guitar for about 2 years and anytime I look at sheet music my brain melts. No lessons either. I didn't want anything to feel forced, and learning it naturally is fuckin awesome
Learn theory if you want to become a good guitar player
Lol so I guess Hendrix, Gilmour, Cantrell and many many others aren't good?@@anthonywandowicz8084
If Joe can have Luke on, he NEEDS to have Ryan Upchurch on. The guy that put LC on the map!!
True dat! #CreekSquad #RHEC 💙🤘🏼
Amen to that!
CreekSquad 🤘
@Magic Jordan yet Joe has had Luke Combs and a handful of other country musicians on the podcast. And Upchurch is FAR from country music. He's ALL genres of music.
Joe has even stated he doesn't care if zero people are interested in his podcast, it only matters if HE is interested.
Be nice if he showed a little gratitude to the guy who actually gave him his first big break back in 2015. If you know you know if not for Upchurch go carts would still be his career. Honestly who heard of him before his collaboration with church and his 3million fans.
Ever heard of vine?
You must’ve missed the part where he basically said ‘I don’t care if I make it big’ cause he was happy just making $200 a night, doing something he enjoyed.
This guy is living under a rock!! Over rated upchurch. Crying about your mom an life isn't an album bro
@@marioteston6865 better go see who’s LP was sitting at number 1 last week . BRO… Combs would of never made it if not for Church appearing on his song exposing his fat ass to 3million people who didn’t know his name BRO…
@@dakota7397 yup but me and 3 million other people never heard of combs till church appeared with him on outlaw ..
He was a huge part of his success to Ryan Upchurch
And somehow Ryan gets forgotten about
Well personally Luke combs can’t even lace the shoes of Ryan Upchurch
Bwahaha, thanks for the good laugh
@@Ricefan80 keep collecting toy cars ….
What are 8 yrs old
Does youre momma know you are on line ?
@Dorklepuss Coming from a person with the name "Dorklepuss" I almost feel offended! Oh wait! Never mind I don't give 2 shits about someone that has the brain capacity of a pez dispenser thinks!
@CamaroHotwheelsDieCast it's technically true though. Luke has a beautiful voice and is talented but he can't write like Ryan can. Truth is truth.
@@chucknorris408 That's true because Ryan sucks at writing & Luke is known just as much for his writing as he is for his singing!
Upchurch made him famous but he don't want to talk about that
I was gonna comment on Ryan Upchurch and him basically putting Luke on the map, but I see Creek Squad was already ahead of the game.
He never mentioned the one person who introduced him to millions of people tho
UPCHURCH!!
Outlaw! Church!
CreekSquad 🤘🤙
Bruh didn't mention upchurch once he made his career and has the number 1 album in every genre were Luke's at just making songs he can't relate to
Too busy sucking up to BLM and Maren Morris.
Upchurch did not make shit for Luke combs he might of opened the door a little but Luke combs did what he did by himself lmfao upchurch got more in the long run from having a song with Luke lmaooo
You fucking beat me to it 😅
Where have the rebels gone Luke? Creek squad!
My first guitar lesson was when I was about 12......my next lesson was when I was 55. I am now 58 and still playing. 🤣
Watching to see if he mentions Upchurch or the having to apologize in the interview or something along those lines
"I mean, I look at a piano, I see a bunch of keys, three pedals and a box of wood. But Beethoven, Mozart, they saw it, they could just play."
Good will hunting.
Now try to name all his brothers
Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian
And Willy
@@noahblake533 very nice
It would be great for him to quit lying how he became known in music cause he didn’t have hardly had a following at all in 2014 and then when he did the song “outlaw” with the chart topping, completely independent, outlaw himself UPCHURCH!!! That song was the first song he ever did that reached tens of millions of views. That was what put him on the music map to become as big as he is.
Exactly that's what I'm saying
Forreal, this shows how unauthentic he is and will fabricate a story to look good. Its a joke.
Y’all outlaw nut riders are hilarious
Oh really? The first time i heard him was hurricane... that's the song that blew him up.
My head hurts trying to read your comment. How bout a comma or a period, every now and again, instead of two, long ass, run on sentences??? That would truly be great!!!
Upchurch n Rogan would be bad ass show
His first Hit was Can I Get A Outlaw with Ryan Upchurch give church his creds
Luke telling lies, 😂#RyanUpchurch was one of the first country rap artists and Luke got popular because of the video he did with Ryan Upchurch
A fellow Scout leader a few years back was asking for a volunteer to lead some Sunday camp breakup songs.
I said I would try and he handed me the song sheets.
I looked it over and I knew some of the requests, humming as I looked over the music.
The Chaplain laughed and said,"You're a note reading Campbellite!"
Having grown up in an acapela Church of Christ, I had learned to read notes because singing was easy and memory was good back then.
I remember every inflection of all the music I absorbed throughout my life and I don't understand any of it.
I play guitar and some keyboard by ear and can only get by personally with guitar in open "C" tuning.
The lazy man's chord.
Otherwise, it's just too much math.
I entertain an audience of one.
Good on you, Luke.
You got what you need.
I'm 73 now and hum a lot!
I'm almost 40 and still hope to learn to play the guitar. I have played the alto saxophone since the 4th grade so I'm not a complete novice to music. I just need to find the time...
You're never going to find the time. Make the time.
You can totally do it!
Ive been trying to learn guitar for years now but i just cant do it, other instruments ive no problems with, and thats why im always grateful to hear someone that can
I have played the drums for 32 years now. I self taught beginning when I was 16 and it just came naturally.
Through the years I tried over and over to learn stringed instruments and it just wouldn't take, I mean at all.
Several years ago I borrowed a guitar from a guy that I had taught to play the drums. He also plays bass and guitar and had attempted to teach me guitar.
Long story short. I tossed learning chords or even any known songs out the window and I taught myself a song that I was hearing in my head.
When I returned the guitar a couple of weeks later he asked me to show him what I had learned so I played him my song.
He was absolutely floored and just said "Do you even realize what you just did" and then proceeded to explain.
Apparently the way that what I wrote, and played very well, walked up and down the strings and up and down the neck covered the pentatonic scale in such a way that he said he was still incapable of doing after thousands of hours of learning and playing. Go figure.
So what I learned was that I can play beautiful complex music on stringed instruments if it my own music and I play/learn what feels and sounds right to me.
I even self taught myself on the banjo, but my kids accidentally broke my banjo while wrestling and I never replaced it.
There’s that guitar buddy gizmo. I’m gonna check it out
That happened to me. I took two guitar lessons as a kid because my parents made me do it and I hated it. Then in my late teens I bought a guitar and started tinkering with it and now I can't put it down.
Glad to see it worked out for someone it's very hard man playing now for 35 years but I only played for personal reasons bless ya brother
No one wants to know my thoughts I give them no one listens it's a narcissistic world esp someone who isn't real
Interview Upchurch next.
Ryan Upchurch is the one you should have on your show, Joe Rogan. Literally on his own label and he’s made it. Also, a lot more interesting if you ask me.
Would love to see that episode
JRE Definitely should have Upchurch on. He's real & plays to his own tune. He's not a Label Schill.
Facts!
Ryan is a lunatic with sheep fans like you. The dude is a fucking whack job, and country "rap" is trash.
For the record I don’t listen to this douche Luke Combs either. Funny that Ryan’s so stupid he can’t figure out why he shouldn’t have a confederate flag while rapping. He’s a narcissistic drama queen.
I would say it's more ADD than dyslexia. I've been playing jazz/blues/fusion for 30 years and I'm really good (not to float my own boat) and I can barely grasp music theory. I know the basics and I can read music because I grew up playing the sax, which is just single note reading on the treble clef, but when you start getting into modulation and theory, I get completely lost. The thing is though, players like Jimi and EVH didn't know how to read music. They had a grasp and an ear for music. What makes them great though, is that their playing didn't fall under any rules, because they didn't know "the rules". Most famous musicians and singers could not teach at a high level (such as a Berkley professor), they are just naturally talented and their actual style and abilities get them to where they are.
You’re really good at jazz and fusion but don’t know theory and get lost in modulations? Hendrix and srv didn’t play jazz or fusion. You can get by playing rock and blues without theory but you’ll be a bum on jazz standards.
Ryan upchurch was and is one of the first and biggest country singer to blow up online stop fkn lying.
Luke's music is nice, but I don't like that he left some others behind while selling out. Very awesome voice!!!!!
Yeah like Ryan Upchurch.
@@jmathews470 yeah, because upchuck can't stand on his own talent? He's famous locally, that's about it. Country rap sucks is why he hasn't gone any further in music. That and talking sh!t about everyone who has done better than him.
Wtf Luke talking about? He and Kane was not anywhere close to being the first social media anything, matter of fact Luke would’ve never been where he is now without #RyanUpchurchofficial.
What a fantastic story , I would buy the book if he wrote one
You'll find it under FICTION.
Look up out law by upchurch start Luke’s carrier.
Need to have real one Joe.. Ryan UPCHURCH
Same. Can’t read music at all but I play 4 instruments proficiently. It’s a cool talent but nothing compared to creativity
Same here. I play 4 instruments but can't read music. I know the basic notes and usually play by ear. Imo that's the best way bcuz I adjust based on tone
Respect to Luke & love his music but one big thing he failed to mention was the guy that put him on the map. Gotta give credit where it’s due.. #rhec
This guy RYAN UPCHURCH should have be talked about I'm just saying,,
Why didn't he talk about @Upchurch putting him on the map that's so sad
Joe please have upchurch on ur podcast i know you only have people on you are interested in talking to urself but if you look into Ryan Upchurch i promise you'd be interested in what hes gone threw his entire career/life. If it wasnt for ryan there would be no luke combs
100%
You got that right! This sell out turned his back on Upchurch who brought him to light. #creeksquad #upchurch
I knew there would be a bunch of upchurch fans in the comments lol. He should get him on soon
I'm not even a huge fan of Upchurch or anything, but the dude worked hard to get where he is, he deserves what he's earned. And it makes sense to let him share his story when he helped Luke get to where he is today.
Cant hit a home run on every guest...but Luke is not as exciting as he seems and he def has some people that would call into question his loyalty. (Ryan Upchurch enters the chat.)
Great interview. Luke is really just a regular dude that made it big, but never forgot where he came from. Looking forward to listening to him for many years to come.
But he does shit on the people that help make him. He owes Ryan Upchurch a big thanks and an apology.
I'm amazed Joe has Luke Combs on the podcast. So fucking awesome!
Upchurch should get an invite to Joe's podcast to give his side. See what ppl think about Luke then 😂
This was a dope origin story. Had a passion in music early, pursued the academic route, got kicked in the nuts. Gave up on it, went the college route because you're "supposed" to. Failed at that, found himself at 21 years old - which is young but it isn't when you are 21. You feel the clock ticking on finding a passion - and while having some alone time, decided fuck it. Might as well go for it. At worse, you will fail and be in this same spot anyway. And here he is
Besides the fact that he straight up lied.
That just it A STORY 😂😂😂
He's a punanny
Hey Joe, you “love those awesome stories”??? You should reach out to Ryan Upchurch & invite him on your show.. NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING 2 GOATS IN THE SAME ROOM. Just like you Joe, he’s the ORIGINAL... & THE MOST TALENTED.. (not to forget, he’s funny A.S)..
Shoutout ryan upchurch
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.
Romans 3:23
John 3:16
it's not about reading notes ... it's all instinctual talent 💯
Definitely, and #JUSTICEFORALANKAISER of course! *
well...country is not that complicated lol , not that he makes bad music
@@DaveSCameron it's actually "And Justice for All", bro...album skyrocketed Metallica's fame
Right most artists can’t read music
@@bridgelaurie9490 That's really not true for most. Reading music is easy so most musicians learn it. Sight reading maybe not, not always worth the effort depending on the instrument.
Joe Carson is my call… You gotta love a host who is more excited in the guests than himself!!! Nice job Joe and head south to Pharr for some whitewing
hunting this September.
Would love to see Joe Rogan bring on Ryan Upchurch if he really wants a from everyday country boy story to a chart topping true independent artist who would do the interview spitting facts and truth. Now that would be a video to actually enjoy and give inspiration for others.
Haha.. No
Chart topping? The local radio station in BFE hardly qualifies. Rappin country music is blasphemy and just a fad genre. Thank God it will be a relic soon like A flock of seagulls and wham
@@commonsense_2023 denial much, try doing some research before you talk on things you clearly know nothing about.
@@d.c.intha6066 prove me wrong then sugar britches. I must've missed BET awards for best country rap. Luke Combs 3.5 billion views, 13 #1 singles, Entertainer of the Year awards and on, on. Upchuck 1.9 billion views so about half and what other recognitions?
@@BDubb1088 It might work. Upchurch is a comedian. 😉
It would be a live one.
Love you Ryan. 💚🤣 a fan. 👍😎😁
Love the shoutout to Cullowhee! Glad to see a down to earth brotha make it big and always humble!!!
Well Joe you have to invite Ryan Upchurch on your show now. Especially since Luke lied and he can tell you the truth about this sellout and how he actually got his first fame in music through Ryan Upchurch and #CreekSquad
For the longest time I couldn't read music and only played through chord diagrams or tabs, until I finally found like a reading music for kids book that was simple enough to start.
Also, kudos to his mom for encouraging him to learn guitar.
Remember the name?
What is the book name?
@@alejandronopasanada5302 The book's name is: theory made easy for kids by Lina Ng book 1, note, this is really introductory and even comes with stickers. If you want something more grown up there's Learn to read music by Howard Shanet. This books are really great
@@JesseFloyd1991 The book's name is: theory made easy for kids by Lina Ng book 1, note, this is really introductory and even comes with stickers. If you want something more grown up there's Learn to read music by Howard Shanet. Both books will get you there
Luke Combs got his start because of Ryan Upchurch. #RHEC
When I think of people that made it off of RUclips, I don't think of Luke Combs or Kane Brown. I think of Upchurch...
How about that upchurch song oh yeah you can't talk about that
So stoked to hear you like colter wall !!! He’s my favourite artist by far , I’ll be stoked if you ever get him on the podcast 🙌🏻 Kate McCanon is my favourite song !
Love this guy. His music is awesome. I was not expecting this one but I'm glad it happened.
Looking forward to seeing Luke play at BOA stadium July 15th! Going to be one hell of a concert. Carolina proud
Got famous off the internet. He should be thanking Upchurch. 🙏
Most musicians who learn to play by ear and teach themselves their instrument struggle to learn how to read site/sheet music, but the saving grace is we know what the chords are so we can reed chord sheets. The more creative and motivated musicians in my opinion.
Like his music but he was not 1 of the first to make it off social media..
He went big by playing with Upchurch than he got woke and apologized for there being rebel flags in the videos.. he kinda sold out for the woke side of country music..
Luke Combs is a great country musician
He forgot about the part where Ryan Upchurch put him on.....
Luke Combs did not have a career until @ryanupchurch put him in the "Outlaw" song in 2015. (Which Ironically, luke turned out to be the very thing he sang against in the song) Ryan Upchurch is the first country star to get a career off of social media! Tell the truth joe.
No mention of Ryan Upchurch at all 🤣
Luke combs
Before I met Luke,
I had already won an Emmy and worked with artists. Trace Adkins, Michael Ray, Cole Swindell, Craig Campbell, Craig, Morgan, lonestar Randy Houser.
I Produced and engineered and Mixed and Vocal coaching for the first three songs that Luke ever recorded in his life
Including the song that they added Upchurch to
Can I get an outlaw
That I produced for Luke
I hired Musicians that ended up being on his number one smash Hurricane.
He hadn’t recorded any songs “ever”
I had modest gear that I upgraded, and he came back and recorded three more songs
And then I upgraded more gear and he came back and recorded six songs that I produced and engineered and Vocal coaching
That ended up on his first five times platinum album
When I met Luke, he had awesome instincts, rhythmically, and Tone
But I taught him a lot of the tricks of singing in the studio that I learned from
Seth Riggs when I was in Los Angeles for five years, and he taught Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder
Prince Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand, Hall & Oates, David Coverdale, Sebastian Bach, and too many others to list.
And then I moved to Nashville and studied voice with
Renee Grant, Williams,
who taught Christina Aguilera, Garth Brooks, and all of the super stars of the 90s and early 2000s before she passed away
Both of those Vocal Coaches
being iconic
I shared all of that information and taught Luke how to sing in the studio
But his instincts were already on the way to greatness
Rock on Luke
Upchurch made him famous dumbass
Love Luke!!! Can’t deny his talent!!!
But he denies everyone else who helped put him on the map, without one certain person and a collab with them this guy wouldnt even be where he’s at.
@@TaylorKromOFFICIALI find it hilarious that Upchurch fans are so obsessed with Luke Combs. Get over it.
But he's fake
Nelson doyle Upchurch still bigger an not even mainstream
@elijahwhitaker908 Quick Google search shows Luke has about 6x the monthly streams as Upchurch so.... no. He's not bigger. He's obsessed with a past slight and his fans lapp it up and comment nonsense years later. Who cares man. Let it go.
I think a lot of people aren’t giving enough attention to one little detail. All this success and the lifetime of opportunity that’s before him was set in motion by one thing. A mothers encouragement. Talk to your kids, your family, your friends. You don’t know how big one small gesture could be
It’s always amazing to me how non-musicians are fascinated with musicians who don’t read music. Music is from the heart. You don’t have to read. Reading won’t help you create either.
Yeah Joe Rogan should have Ryan Upchurch on so people actually know the truth.
ABSOLUTELY!!
Upchurch literally started this dude career 😂 and he’s out here saying he’s one of the first independent artists @ryanupchurch
I am sure joe is aware of Upchurch. Spotify definitely knows the truth and the time table. It will come out in the wash. Ryan has more balls!
It would be pretty awesome to see Upchurch on joe rogans podcast
Facts..
Luke is a dude who is a perfect example of having g trade schools for kids, not every kid is book smart they would rather be doing all day! He seems so genuine, look at him now! Love to meet him, I sing a lot of his stuff!
Joe needs to get Zach Bryan, Childers, and Colter on now. This new generation is reviving real country music and bringing to bigger heights than ever.
Or or or hear me out…billy currington
I had no clue that Luke finishes almost every sentence with the word “dude” when he speaks. Dude!!! Sweet!!!
Wow, he seems totally different than his music. No mention of Ryan Upchurch, Can I get an outlaw? People try to erase the past and rewrite history. Smdh.
Ayyyy Luke. Represent the state amigo
He needs to have Ryan Upchurch on the show!!
Doubt it’ll ever happen but would be better than Luke Combs
@@kassidywoods9415 I haven’t watched this episode yet. They didn’t happen to talk about “can I get an outlaw” did they?
No doubt I know I know yo rogaine and Ryan Upchurch what end up burning one and become best friends
@@Outkast353 who the f*** is Luke Combs anyway
Anyone else not have this episode pop on their Spotify til they searched it ? I saw this video went to his channel it wasn't there so then I searched it saw shane gillis was on the 17th went back to the channel to see that since I'm saving luke combs for work tomorrow and didn't see his episode. So searched it and there it was then clicked back on his channel page and it was there when it wasn't less than a minute earlier.
Most of the greatest musicians on the planet can not read a single line of sheet music.
That only shows how music has evolved throughout human evolution.
@@faithisindemand devolved*
@@nicolasbascunan4013 yes, exactly.
I've been playing the drums since i was 12. Can't read music. I mean, I know notes and time signatures and how they sound and what they mean, but if you put them together and ask me to play it. I can't do it.
I’ve been playing guitar for 21 years and can barely read sheet music. I can read tablature and chords obviously, but knowing how to read sheet music doesn’t really mean that much.
Love you Luke!
I’m just blown away Joe thought Calgary was a country …
Ryan Upchurch is responsible for me ever knowing who Luke was....WAS! "We don't need another purdy boy singing them purdy songs... fake country boys doin country all wrong!"
CREEKSQUAD 🤘
I always wanted to do something with music. I HATED music in school, I ended up getting kicked out the classes, all they taught was classical music theory crap. I had a guitar for years and never got past being a very very beginner. When I was in my early twenties just for fun I got a ukulele because I thought it would be easy. It was pretty easy tbh. I always liked rock music though, so wasn't really my vibe. I then bought a bass guitar because I thought f*ck it, it still has 4 strings, and I always loved Queen for their groovy songs. Just came up on a year playing, I no longer spend all of my free time gaming, I'm in a band now, we just released our first song and I'm having a great time, I love learning and trying to to improve!
Not a Luke Combs fan, but finding out he played rugby makes him exponentially likeable.
