    I know it's just an opinion, and I take NO offense at all, ever... But, ya just gotta love folks that give you the rules and criteria in which to supply them with free lessons. lol

      Doug Seven Waffle all you want...it is a FREE lesson and a damn good one. Thanks for your time and talent. The explanations and insight help frame things. I was never one for "Put your fingers here and play this" type approach. The additional info helps me take these lessons and apply them on stage in live situations when the backing music is different from your track. "What to do" is only half the process. "Why" you chose that approach is equally important.

      Wow, nuff' said. That's a brilliant way to describe it. I have always said, "music happens above the shoulders first"...

    Doug Seven Thankyou I'm 64 and played blues and rock all my life (well since 11 years old) I always loved country sounds and guitar but whenever I tried to think of a country solo my brain turned it back into blues or rock halfway through. This lesson has given me something different to think of and I thank you. At 64 every day is still a school day! God bless you for taking the time!

    I love your guitar lessons Doug! I've been picking for over 65 years now and have had many Nashville recording sessions with the great Pete Wade. This lesson where you stay right in the same little box with the A chord is simply great! Thanks my friend and keep up the good work!

  • @perrythomasmusic3709
    @perrythomasmusic3709 2 года назад +2

    Doug, I taught for many years, played for many years, and I was an agent for guitarists Stephen Bennett, worked with Muriel Anderson, and the great Richard Smith, all three among the best acoustic guitarists in the country. It's hard to teach properly, so I just wanted to mention that you do a good job. I pretty much played in classic rock groups, Christian Rock Bands, and eventually acoustic solo guitar, so I never played a lot of country, so these are some fun videos. Thanks

  • @wyattearl8385
    @wyattearl8385 Год назад +1

    Hi Doug. I just came across this lesson by accident. I've been playing for 50+ years and did my first gig or booking as we called them back then in 1964. I've even managed to steal a living for a few of those years and I thought this was a great lesson. I will definitely be catching up with some more of your teaching. Thank you. Oh and I have spent a lot of those years trying to be Steve Cropper. Never quite got it but I have also never been short of work.

  • @morry51

    @craigmonteforte1478 5 лет назад

    thanks Doug i really like the way you break these lessons down and how you explain everything i played mostly Acoustic for over 35 years until i suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury that left me partially paralyzed on my left side of my body that injury forced me into early retirement and many other major changes in my life my 27 year old son has my collection of guitars and honestly i watch RUclips videos with very good headphones on to still give me the feeling of playing which i haven’t done in over 10 years now it’s the only way in life i can naturally relax and zone out in a way to relax my body and my brain that is always in pain because of the injuries my other way is to smoke a little weed ! that i’m trying to get my doctor to prescribe to me now that it’s legal in the State i live in he writes me up for Oxy cotin but i don’t care for some of its side affects and yes it takes care of the pain but it makes it hard to stay awake and think normal

    I'm 46 and have been a fan of this type of music all my life. I've owned an acoustic for years and know a few chords and how to play a little rhythm. Finally broke down and bought myself a Telecaster and want to get into this and really see how the lead pickers live. This is going to be a blast, and I thank you for putting this out there. I can't wait to get started!

    Thank you so much. By teaching the scale and using a nice country riff with it is perfect. I used the scale now to play with tracks in the A-key and make up my own blues stuff. You are the first one on line that made it fun to learn a scale.

    Man, I don't ever read comments so I don't know what's been said about this, I just know what I wanna say. I want to say it kicks butt! I'm 57 and don't remember my life before I started playing guitar, Beatles, Stones, Albert King, Clapton were all influences. But I entertained myself with Haggard and Jones! You nailed down exactly what I go to every day at least once or twice and I hope some young players appreciate it for it's real value. Right on!!

  • @guitarmadeeasy6181
    @guitarmadeeasy6181 9 лет назад

    Doug. I'm a fine, experienced guitarist, having played acoustic most of my life, and now finally getting into playing electric. I just wanted to tell you, I've been able to "play" country licks for many years, just from hearing the notes and playing it out. But your video REALLY helped me to fill in the details I never really got--how to lay in the subtle bends that give it that real country feel! Thanks so much!

    This has been real helpful. I play music at Assisting Living Homes and I wanted to add a little life to the music so I bought an SR 18 Alesis Drum machine and a Boss RC-30 Loop to set up Bass tracks and now I’m learning some licks from you to add a little lead to my gospel music. If you can direct me to any specific videos you do for Gospel stuff like “Will the circle be unbroken” and stuff like that, I would be appreciative. God bless Pastor Justin.

Please accept my most heartfelt thanks for the way you explain stuff for those of us who aren't so smart, May God Bless you and Keep you, though we've never met I feel as though we are Brothers, thanks so much again, and God Bless

    You sure show some real gems. I like the enthusiasm you throw in. I never thought about lessons from a country player, I like blues pop and rock, but as a rhythm player trying to learn lead Ive wasted loads of time trying to study theory and scales and follow teachers that do show some cool ways to play stuff, but never come away feeling like I learned any thing if that makes sense. More of a copy thing. Im currently watching your newest lessons on how to play guitar, so I looked you up on Ytube. Love it so far. Thanks

Anyhow, great lessons and like one of the other commenters, I like that you teach intermediate stuff in an intermediate style without all the over explaining, refreshing and professional!
