    They call that trigger finger when they lock up, a hand surgeon can give you a steroid shot in the hand, and your finger will work like new, i hand those shots about 2 days ago, im over 70 years old, love playing guitar, have a number of songs on youtube, just ran across you and so glad i did, i love fast blue grass, and your guitar has wonderful tone, and you have a wonderful voice to go along with it, God has blessed you with the whole package. Your voice is so full and rich. I play in the french quarter of New Orleans from time to time, i like blues, country, jazz, gypsy jazz ,jimmy Rosenberg style, cafe romantic relaxing music, but most of what i have online is blues. I love hearing you play, you are the man, so glad i came across you online, looking forward to hearing more of you.

    Flat picks his way into the Heartbreaker riff, then plays Mama Tried to perfection. Such versatility.

    Golly Trey, I've been watching and listening to you ever since I saw you on Grand Ole Opry at age 11, and I was hooked!! I love your voice and music! Im 75 and I've seen a lot of Musicians come and go, But you have something special, a GOD given talent, along with your hard work! I love a lot of music, but Bluegrass is my favorite, especially Bluegrass Gospel and Inspirational songs, can we have more please? For this 75 year old Great Grammy! thank you so much! Oh yes, my mother in law was a Hensley from Virginia that migrated to W.Va and Kentucky! Love your work young man, grammy jettie justice

    This is my first comment on your videos, but i have been following you for a few months now (same with Billy Strings). I literally am speechless as to what to say about your playing. I think its because i have never really listened to Bluegrass (but you can bet i will now!) The closest thing i would listen to your style would be Vince Gill, and some blues stuff, used to be into Heavy Metal (i noticed your Slayer sweater.) Having said all that, i am going to start to listen to your influences as well because it seems you have a wide range of styles up your sleeve! Thanks for everything you do, including sharing videos like this, answering questions that many are dying to know! Keep on doing what you do man, you are amazing!

When I see you and Rob in Winston - Salem I will try to remember to bring it for you to show it what a great player can do with it.

    No need to make shorter videos! in fact bigger videos = more content and that's why we're here. Can you do a rundown on all your accoustic guitars i see back there? Especially the Harmony Sovereign, i love it's sound. That's something i wanted to ask for a lot of time, thank you. In relation to the name of this series "Bending your Ear" sounds perfect.

    • @TreyAHensley
      @TreyAHensley  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I probably won’t shorten videos…I can talk on and on about gear. 😂 As far as a rundown, I covered most of my guitars in a recent Premier Guitar Rig Rundown. Check out their page and you’ll see a lot of those guitars in the background pretty in-depth.

Kind of your ideas on how to pick these things to improve flow, accuracy, grove, speed. Just an idea I would benefit from. Thanks again for the vid.

    Thank you for the video Trey. I am a long time guitar strummer, not a good player at all lol. One thing I've always struggled with is is my timing. As a player who's never made it past the playing with a couple friends around the campfire stage, what are some tips to improve rhythm and timing. I'm a perpetual 3rd shift worker so I rarely get the opportunity to practice with others, and I have a hard time adjusting my "style" to play with others.

      Definitely start with “Wildwood Flower”…that song holds the key. “Carter’s Blues” is another great song to work on. “Under the Double Eagle” is a great rhythmic song to pick out. For more intermediate players, “Gold Rush” and “Whiskey Before Breakfast”.

    Man my #1 is a ‘61 D28 and it’s crazy how much it sounds like yours. It even makes the same sounds when you’re just moving it around not even playing it and you can hear all the vibrations from your finger prints sliding on the neck and fretboard coming out the body. Lol. Mine don’t sound as good when I’m playing it tho!!

  • @user-kf3jb6rs2j
    @user-kf3jb6rs2j Год назад

    Thanks for the videos and music.
    Regarding the painful pinky, maybe it's the "trigger finger", it happened to me on my ring finger. I solved it by immobilizing the finger with a slide, which took the tension off the root of the finger, and also a soft massage and warming up the hand. Good luck with that.

  • @BulldoggerJK

    My pinky does the same thing I know what you mean you’ve learned around it i unfortunately say we’ll I can’t play guitar that way then and I don’t unfortunately. It’s very unsettling trying to play knowing you’ll need a pinky use in the chord. Good for you dude not letting it stop ya!

    • @TreyAHensley
      @TreyAHensley  Год назад +2

      I’ll touch on speed in a video at some point for sure. I do talk about speed quite a bit in my course over at bigmusictent.com (the title of that course is “Playing Fast and Clean”)
      A short answer is the obvious one…practice. Practicing super slow and speeding up in increments. It’s all about pushing your own boundaries. Of course, there are tips to help with it…but the big part of the puzzle is just repetitive practicing.
      Thanks again!

    Nice! I'd call it "60 BPM" because I can finally follow along with something you are doing 😂How much work is it to bend Mediums over Lights (12-53) if you know? I love bending on my acoustic and have wanted to give the Medium, or Bluegrass, strings a try. OK, was just about to ask about playing some blues with those strings and you answered simply with a B.B. King lick. And then finished off with my all-time favorite song. Thanks for this!

  • @tomandmarley
    @tomandmarley Год назад

    Yeah man!!!! So happy your doing these videos. Can you talk about how you got your crosspicking/string changing so clean at high speeds. Did you focus on any exercises in particular? I struggle with double inside string changes at high speeds. Ie b string downstroke g string upstroke b string downstroke etc. crosspicking patterns are full of these type of things 👍🏼

    • @TreyAHensley
      @TreyAHensley  Год назад

      For sure! I talk about crosspicking and techniques/practices in pretty lengthy detail on my Big Music tent course (bigmusictent.com). It’s a key component for this style of playing, for sure.

      @@TreyAHensley Hey trey i actually bought the course. I was wondering if you could dive deeper into the subject? I've been learning goldfish and that's helped but i still feel like those inside picking movements are always sketchy. I notice you seem keep the fingers of your right hand curled into the palm. Do you keep contact with the bridge with the palm? Any info you could share on this would be much appreciated. Inside/double inside picking is my nemesis lol Lastly if 10 was the hardest you could strike a string how hard would you say your pick strokes are and how do you get such a loud clear sound without tensing up? regards Tom uk
