Hey Mike, you’re right lessons like this would’ve helped us big time back in the day. But we are having fun as old-timers. Also good to hear from you Mike. Thanks.👍
Another great lesson, Rusty! Joe Walsh said he had to invent a "lead/rhythm" style because he was the only melodic instrument. This is the chunk-a-chunk muted sounds between chords. He replaced the original guitarist in the James Gang. They were a 5 piece band, until one day, while traveling by car to Detroit to open for Cream, two members quit. In order to do the gig, Joe had to play AND sing for the first time.
I love this story, Roger! I learned something new! Joe Walsh is a big part of rock music, history! I love it! Thanks for checking out the lesson and have a great weekend😎
Wow Rusty, you've excelled yourself this time! Before it was Jimmy Page & Eric Clapton, now Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Joe Walsh. Just need Carlos Santana & you've covered all my favourite guitar players! Excellent lesson & explained so thoroughly & yet so easy to understand. I've been looking for lessons like these for the last 50 years! Don't stop - I may turn into a decent player one day! Thanks once again.
I’m certainly glad we live in a digital age. I would have burned up the tape hitting rewind on these lessons, like I did with albums and 8 tracks in high school. I play these lessons over and over, I’m getting soooo much valuable info, especially for a beginner like me. A lot of it is a stretch, but it’s good to have goals. This is so awesome, thank you Rusty for all you do!
Thanks so much Dave for taking the time to watch my lessons! I definitely wore out the recordings back in the day trying to learn stuff for sure. But most the time I only had a small portion of it right. But the older I get the more I love playing these old classic tunes! Most of these lessons even a beginner will get something to take away. Good to hear from you Dave and have a great weekend.👍
This video has only been up one day & you already have 108 comments. That's some going. Just shows how good your lessons are & how much they are appreciated. Thanks Rusty.
Rusty, here I am. I designed a nightly chord exercise for myself and this is my dessert. 7 days in a week. 7 notes. Scales, chords, and arpeggios, oh my!
Right on Rusty! Rhythm is my bread and butter, not are you only a great lead player but your Rhythm is spot on too😊 love it. Thanks for all your lessons, you simplified jo Walsh for me
Yet another great lesson. Appreciate your backing off the leed lesson and doing a substantial rhythm lesson, I know that I am far behind your target crowd, as a beginner level player this really helps me on a couple levels. Thank you for sharing your experience knowledge and passion with those of us trying to make music. BEST AND PEACE
Thanks so much for this comment Chuck! Yes, there are so many techniques you can take away as a beginner, intermediate player. And most of all have FUN!!! Good to hear from you Chuck 👍
I started adding your ideas to just playing arpeggios to learn the fretboard. This opened up so many ideas....Merci beaucoup. These ideas will be put to use. I think I'm going to surprise my piano teacher next week.
You're amazing, Rusty! Thanks for pointing all those licks out! Once you learn 'em, you start hearing 'em everywhere. So, all ya gotta do is learn to play it right, and your guitar playing ability goes skyrocketing. This was an epic lesson, Rusty. You picked some good songs to teach. Between the fretting and the muting.... ...You've got the rockin' bug, dude! 👌 👍 🤪
It would be a blast watching a video of our good friend Rusty concocting (conjuring? lol) a new lesson concept for us.......his research and experimentation and practice to the final nice product. That alone would make a great learning experience for us!! Jim C.
Hey JC, I am always conjuring up a new lesson😂 And I am definitely having a blast doing it. Always good to hear from you, my brother! Have an awesome weekend Jim 🤛 Thanks 👍
Hi Rusty I watch alot of other youtube channels and have to say you have real talent...love watching your videos...keep them coming. I just retired and one of my goals is to learn to play. Hopefully I can progress. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment here! I retired last year also. I have more fun playing now than I ever have before. So let’s keep working on this stuff together. Talk to you soon.👍
@rustysguitar1 me too......Thin Lizzy and The Eagles my 2 favourite bands......don't know if your familiar with Thin Lizzys live and dangerous album but if your not check it out........especially Still in love with you........2 guitar solos in the song thst are a cry straight from the soul
Well, right out of the gate I love your video, Rusty ~ hard to believe I grew up loving The Monkees & Jimi Hendrix at the same time! LOL This is an excellent lesson for rhythm guitar!!
another great lesson! you always manage to put together concepts i've learned separately into something actionable. greetings from trinidad and tobago!
Great job Rusty...keeping it clean and simple. I'de rather play less that's clean than fast and cruddy. At 59 and playing since 1979, I beat myself up when I feel I'm overstretching. Clean rhythm combined with melidothic chops in between is where it's at, I think! Thanks again Rusty...rock on fellow "Boomer"
Hey my friend, finally I got a free spot to check the lesson, I really like because I love the great songs you choose to progress in the rhythm guitar skills, thanks a lot buddy, awesome class, peace!
Teachers like you are making guitar resurgent in today's electronic sound era. More and more people are now picking up guitar compared to last decade.😮
I will definitely do a rig video soon. But basically I’ve used the same set up for the last year in my videos. Using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. Thanks a lot for taking the time to check out my videos. Have a great rest of your week.👍
Thanks Stephen! I will post some worship team church videos on the RUSTYS WORSHIP GUITAR channel. On this channel I post blues rock guitar lessons. I appreciate all your support.👍
Thanks Ray! I would just pick a few songs at a time that you really enjoy listening to. And then search out how to play them and break them down. Talk to you soon.👍
Thanks Mike! I’m glad you like the videos. I bought the Guitar used. I just know that bridge Pick up is a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. It is a great sound of Guitar! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Mike.👍
Hey Jeff, I use a standard fender, medium style pick. With a light touch. But I also do a lot of hybrid picking. Plucking up with my first and middle finger. Thanks a lot for checking out the video and let’s talk soon. 🤛
Rusty, one thing important to me is getting the right sound so my ear (and me) pick up things easier. What effect are you using? I kind of got Hendrix dialed in and then it seemed to change for Lynyrd. Thanks.
Hey Michael, I was using the same sound for all three songs. I just switch pick ups. I’m using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. On the first tune, I used the neck pick up. And the last two songs I used the bridge pick up. That is my core sound and I can really change it by using different pick ups on my guitar. Thanks for checking out the video.👍
In this lesson and most of my lessons, I’m using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. Thanks for checking in Don✌️
Hey Glen, i’m using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. In 95% of my videos that is the set up. Thanks so much for all your support. Talk to you soon Glen!!! 👍
ha ha ha greets from australia mate , ya put a smile on my face and i found me foot tapping and laughing away to my self feeling that ole familiar fun from guitar , cheers rusty im getin back into it
Once again,brilliance...where were you when I was younger? I colda been a contender!
Hey Mike, you’re right lessons like this would’ve helped us big time back in the day. But we are having fun as old-timers. Also good to hear from you Mike. Thanks.👍
Love the Brando reference LMAO!
I coulda been somebody, Mike!
Another great lesson, Rusty!

I would also love a video on your amp and pedals to see how you get such a nice warm tone!
I will definitely do a rig video soon. But basically I’ve used the same set up for the last year in my videos. Using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. Thanks a lot for taking the time to check out my videos. Have a great rest of your week.👍
Boy is it challenging to hit that hammer on and also have the DGB strings ring out!

Rusty another awesome lesson, have you a play list of say 10 songs that I can practice around? Again thanks man so good 😊😊
Thanks Ray! I would just pick a few songs at a time that you really enjoy listening to. And then search out how to play them and break them down. Talk to you soon.👍
You really need to make a lead and rhythm course it would sell like hotcakes!!!
I have some great ideas for that! I will definitely do it someday soon! Thanks Donald for checking out the video🤛
I’d buy it…
Excellent tone! Which pickups are you using?
Love the videos. Great playing. Well-spoken explanations. Immediately applicable concepts.
Thanks Mike! I’m glad you like the videos. I bought the Guitar used. I just know that bridge Pick up is a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. It is a great sound of Guitar! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Mike.👍
Danke!
I really do appreciate your support of my channel! Thanks so much mate 👍
@@rustysguitar1 welcome good tutorials keep it as usual , greetings from Switzerland .
Hi Rusty, great stuff!! Do you give one on one lessons? Thanks
Thanks for checking out the video! I only do the RUclips lessons for now! I appreciate your interest. Enjoy your weekend.👍
Good stuff Rusty! Question,
What picks do you use? Your picking is so soft and sounds great with your tones.
Thanks!
Hey Jeff, I use a standard fender, medium style pick. With a light touch. But I also do a lot of hybrid picking. Plucking up with my first and middle finger. Thanks a lot for checking out the video and let’s talk soon. 🤛
Rusty, one thing important to me is getting the right sound so my ear (and me) pick up things easier. What effect are you using? I kind of got Hendrix dialed in and then it seemed to change for Lynyrd.
