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
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
Bro has a voice of an angel. Just started listening to country music and his song came on. I was so astonished and in the moment. His music made me feel like I served in war while contemplating to good old times.
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.
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 ✌️🇨🇦.
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.
@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.
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
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!
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!
@@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.
*Gotta be honest - I hated that damn 6' apart song..* But, you speaking about your OCD with such honesty -- something in the universe shifted. I played it for 16 year old son (who has suffered with exactly the brand of tortured OCD you described); we got to the end where you described what you've done to overcome the loop - he looked up at me as if the Lord, himself, turned on a f**king high beam light.. and was pointing it right in front of him. I haven't seen him walk with his shoulders rolled back, as if he might have a chance in hell to overcome those demons -- ever. Dude -- thank you, brother. From the bottom of my heart. I might even listen to that covid hitter, instead of making fun of ya, the next time it comes on the radio. 🙏🙏🙏
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.
Is your kid on medication? That's what caused my OCD as a child. As soon as I got off the ADD meds my OCD just fell by the wayside. Haven't had it since elementary school
When did he talk about OCD? Was it in this interview but just not in this 6 min clip? I am completely lost as I thought paid pretty good attention to this clip. Sorry for being a dumbass.
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
@DC Electric I heard that same line about iTunes and that must have been a 15 minutes of fame moment. After looking today 3-20-23, I didn't see his name at #1 for artist, song or album. I guess the creek ran dry, kinda like upchucks career.

@@ericterrell9626 UPCHURCH made him. He's far from Humble. Might want to learn about who your talking about. You dont know anything about that but yet you think he's humble HAHAHAHAHA. This whole clip is nothing but lies. POS
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
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
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.
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.

@@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
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!!!
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.
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.
I love his music! He has a God given talent of a great voice. I took band for 4 years, piano for a couple years, and sang in church and karaoke,and always had to take the music and wrote the letter of each note above each note by the all cows eat grass, every good boy does fine, etc helped me learn. I learned planets by my very intelligent mother just served us nine pizzas. Now they tell us that is obsolete and Pluto isn’t a planet. Keep playing and talking y’all we’re all listening.
@@elijahwhitaker908 ? I’m just talking about learning and how people learn. I think it’s great he learned to play and sing in his own way. I’m not a musician by trade but enjoy music. Have a great day! I didn’t understand what you meant, however you have a right to say or think whatever you want to.
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 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...
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
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
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.
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…
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 !
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
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!
Reading music in today’s music industry is kind of irrelevant, definitely helps but is by no means a necessary skill. Learning by ear is incredibly much more important

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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
True nice guy.. met him at a Waffle House, sat with him for 2 hrs, he sang for all of us for 3 hrs.. out of nowhere, a over weight dude, knocked off off the tight Jean well spoken pop country ass’s off stage.. most straight consecutive # 1 songs in history .. love it..
my sister worked at a waffle house but I was surprised at the people she would meet in the middle of the night, famous folks gotta eat to I guess ! there not all on cocaine ! lol
I've never learn to read music as well but I soon realized that understanding theory was significant. Theory will progress your learning and skills much faster than someone who just tries to remember what to play.
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)..
Every artist plays with and opens for other people when they are being discovered. I don’t have a clue what video you guys are talking about and I listen to luke combs religiously. He was on his way either way. Relax.
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.
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.

Not a Luke Combs fan, but finding out he played rugby makes him exponentially likeable.

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.

You'll find it under FICTION.
Look up out law by upchurch start Luke’s carrier.

@@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

Luke is the man! I love his story! Seems like a great guy.
Luke Combs got his start because of Ryan Upchurch. #RHEC
I'm amazed Joe has Luke Combs on the podcast. So fucking awesome!
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. 🤣
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!!!
He forgot about the part where Ryan Upchurch put him on.....
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.
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
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
Love the shoutout to Cullowhee! Glad to see a down to earth brotha make it big and always humble!!!
Love this guy. His music is awesome. I was not expecting this one but I'm glad it happened.
I love his music! He has a God given talent of a great voice. I took band for 4 years, piano for a couple years, and sang in church and karaoke,and always had to take the music and wrote the letter of each note above each note by the all cows eat grass, every good boy does fine, etc helped me learn. I learned planets by my very intelligent mother just served us nine pizzas. Now they tell us that is obsolete and Pluto isn’t a planet. Keep playing and talking y’all we’re all listening.
But fake
@@elijahwhitaker908 ? I’m just talking about learning and how people learn. I think it’s great he learned to play and sing in his own way. I’m not a musician by trade but enjoy music. Have a great day! I didn’t understand what you meant, however you have a right to say or think whatever you want to.
Sorry should have added fake country boy
He sounds pretty country to me! But everyone has a right to thier own opinion on music.
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 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!
Luke Combs is a great country musician
Upchurch n Rogan would be bad ass show
Anyone also not getting the last three episodes showing on Spotify
Same idk wtf.
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
Was waiting for this episode for a long time
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
Anyone else not seeing new episodes on Spotify?
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.
Just checked Spotify and it’s not there yet!
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 ..
We have two super badass podcasts coming. I can't wait!
This man single handedly saving country music. Love me some Luke Combs.
Let it die.
Country is the worst shit ever created!
Heehawing MFrs
@Magic Jordan I have two. Rather poor attempt at an insult there bud.
Sturgill, Billy strings, Tyler childers, colter wall.. Those guys are saving country, Luke is going for the pop/country sound.
@Magic Jordan As a non american asian, Country > your peoples killing stealing cocaine snorting music
Colter wall
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 !
Upchurch made him famous but he don't want to talk about that
Anyone else having problems with the episodes on Spotify.2nd episode now that hasn't been uploaded
Same
Yeah I still can’t see this episode on Spotify
New album called Gettin' Old coming out March 24th
You gotta love how Upchurch is like Voldemort for Luke combs.
!! We do not speak that name !!!😱
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
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
It seems that the new episodes are not uploading to Spotify anymore
Why aren’t these on Spotify?
This guy RYAN UPCHURCH should have be talked about I'm just saying,,
His first Hit was Can I Get A Outlaw with Ryan Upchurch give church his creds
Need to have real one Joe.. Ryan UPCHURCH
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!
Same. Can’t read music at all but I play 4 instruments proficiently. It’s a cool talent but nothing compared to creativity
Why isn’t this episode of Spotify yet?
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
Reading music in today’s music industry is kind of irrelevant, definitely helps but is by no means a necessary skill. Learning by ear is incredibly much more important
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
This podcast still won't come up on my Spotify 🤔
Yeah, what's up with that?
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
Looking forward to seeing Luke play at BOA stadium July 15th! Going to be one hell of a concert. Carolina proud
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 😅
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.
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.
I had no clue that Luke finishes almost every sentence with the word “dude” when he speaks. Dude!!! Sweet!!!
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. 👍😎😁
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.
True nice guy.. met him at a Waffle House, sat with him for 2 hrs, he sang for all of us for 3 hrs.. out of nowhere, a over weight dude, knocked off off the tight Jean well spoken pop country ass’s off stage.. most straight consecutive # 1 songs in history .. love it..
my sister worked at a waffle house but I was surprised at the people she would meet in the middle of the night, famous folks gotta eat to I guess ! there not all on cocaine ! lol
He's fake
It’s never too late. Go after your dream everyone. Just fucking start.
Upchurch should get an invite to Joe's podcast to give his side. See what ppl think about Luke then 😂
I've never learn to read music as well but I soon realized that understanding theory was significant. Theory will progress your learning and skills much faster than someone who just tries to remember what to play.
That was one of the most honest interview moments I've seen in a long time.... He seems like a good guy. 👍
Why the last couple podcast not showing up on Spotify
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)..
That Waylon hat is so dern badass. Cheers, Luke!
He should really publicly thank Ryan Upchurch instead of throwing him under the bus
FACTS 💯
Lol, you think his brief appearance in Upchurch video made Combs? hold on. 😂😂😂😂
Luke Combs is fake
@@lt.spears1889 find a video he realeased before 2015 that had more views
Every artist plays with and opens for other people when they are being discovered. I don’t have a clue what video you guys are talking about and I listen to luke combs religiously. He was on his way either way. Relax.
I saw him live at seahawk stadium he is my favorite country singer easily. "Crazy beautiful" video gives me goosebumps
He's fake country. Nc we don't claim him. He's a big peice of fake hockey
How about that upchurch song oh yeah you can't talk about that
Not up on Spotify yet 😪
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.
Love you Luke!
I’m just blown away Joe thought Calgary was a country …
