Great lesson. Attention haters: if you really want to be the best guitarist you can be, you MUST get out of your comfort zone and study all forms of music and realize that they all have amazing players that can teach you much...if you are willing to listen.
This guy is awesome. So soulful, I love it when guitarists such as myself come to the realization that it isnt about playing the fastest; its about making good music. I dont even listen to country rock, not saying I dont like it, I know that country guitarists are some of the most soulful, but I really like this guy.
I don't even listen to country, but these are things that I have always said. Even when I was playing nothing but metal I just wanted guitar solos people could sing along to. Shredding has its place and that was the eighties
I am totally agree with Nick Webb even if Yngwie is my favorite since i was young.That is true young kids use to forget the most important thing "feeling" and doing perfect bends.
This is true, but it's still a point that needs to be put across. Everyone still overplays all the time. Think of the number of kids who use things like this (me included) to learn, but all they end up doing is playing like second rate Malmsteen rip-offs with minimal sense of feel or melody. 40 years on and the lesson of simple and melodic still needs to be brought home.

that should be a given, no close minded person has ever been great, only great disasters

Been a fan since 2000. Love the way Rascal Flatts brings country to life
Joe Don is a great talent, when he cuts loose in a show, you can really feel the music. Love it.
Not a Country fan but can not hate on guitar playing like this.
What a tone!
melody and feeling always in a joe don solo, something that seems to be lacking in
a lot of the music today
Awesome Tone, PRS,
and unless you're shredding, Less Is More.
Thank you GW and JD for demonstrating that so soulfully.
You just made me a fan.
That tone though! so nice!
Love this series of lessons!
That's a great song and Rascal Flatts is an awesome band!
What a great tone he has. I wonder what he uses for a delay? It looks like he might have a Maxon AD999?
Sorry for being late to chime in. But I see a dd-20 Boss delay pedal. I am sure it's coming from that.
That's a damn nice sounding PRS SC-58!
Beautiful.
thats nice! good points about simple melodies. i allways thought high technique is very important for a guitarist
it is but musicalty should be priority for all musician
awesome tone!
I love those single cut away prs guitars

Nice phrasing & tone, yes it takes a guitarist to know one, nice feel man, well done good lesson, teach it to Paul..

What hurts the most.
Can somebody tell's me what is the exact colour of his PRS ???

@blackcountry fats Oh, like David Gilmour, Clapton, Hendrix, or a million other pioneers of awesome? Are you complaining, or what?
so old fashioned! fuck me this lesson could have been given 40yrs ago!
