One of the top players out there, would be great to see more videos featuring Doug.
Gabriel Moreira and on the cover.
oh please more of this great lessons from him......please!
I fucking love Doug Rappopports greasy blues rock style man, Never understood why he doesn't get more recognition, some of the tastiest licks imho
Cring0r I've wondered too. Meanwhile, the worst performers are popular. Here we have an actual musician who plays guitar like nobody's business and he can sing too. There's a lot of guys in this position.
What a tasteful player. It's all in the fingers... this guy can make just a few notes sound like an entire story.
Unique player Mr Rappaport, great vibrato and bluesy aggression..
great lesson.. love dougs playing. would be awesome to see more lessons from him. thanks!
Doug is a stone, cold, killer!!! Great player and sick tone
Doug is the goddamned man! So underrated!
I like how he's not intimidating, but still informative. Great playing, interesting licks, great tone.
Doug is an insanely good player!! That guitar amp combo sounds amazing.
Im impressed of thd warm sound of this guitar. Im in love with it
Great incite from Doug. I really enjoy his style. Excellent video.
Doug's a real player! Technique, harmony and phrasing all in perfect balance and at a very high level. Definitely one of the greatest out there...Koch's another great with a similar approach
this is the most intense 4 min lesson ive ever had !
Doug… the way you explain this is wonderful. Many players do not try the same riff they practice in one area, or key, as far down or up the neck and slow with precision to have that riff available in all they could play. I teach people to find a cool bluesy bending riff, hear it in your head or copy it, but make signature moves to make it sound like you want…. But play it up and down the fretboard at the same speed and with accurate bends…. Build the vocabulary…. Few practice that way and are missing key information to play effortlessly and with clarity…. You alway looked and sound rehearsed and polished….
what a touch...so melodic and tasteful. Can't think of another player I enjoy listening more
Incredible tone. Unreal player. Doug has skills!! Aspirational and inspiring. Hope he can get some more exposure through your article
Super lesson! Doug has great style and coordination, but more than that, he has a great mind. I've noticed he digs out great sounds and patterns from a scale that I wouldn't have ever imagined. He chisels out angels in the stone that others don't see.
Love the breakdown of the micro bends...never really heard that before... very cool
Could listen to this guy play all day. Thnx for the vid
Great licks, and get that tone! Wow!
Guys again I know 9 months late but if u like Doug he’s all over Edgar Winter’s dvds. 2 of them. I’ll get the names for u. Hold. Lol. One is in England at the Royal Albert Hall. The other is Live at the Galaxy. Check them out. He’s also literally all over PWE amps on utube.
This is Awesome!! I always wondered how you did those 3rds "Tempered bends"... They sound so sweet and bluesy !!!
What a fantastic tone. Very nice. Not soaked in reverb or delay...
My God! THAT's why I love Doug! A ton of great licks only in a few minutes, less than 5 min! A full lesson might be endless! Yeah! \m/
I love the way he says Minor 7th apeagios with those come hither eyes.
When Doug plays, you listen! 👍🏻
Great precision and crazy nice feel
I immediately subscribed, thanks DR!
Truly great player!!
Great tone and feel.
Doug is the man
Man!!! I was hoping he was gonna break down that last neck "trick " with the 7th arpeggios and show us! Sure wish Doug would do some licks lessons or even a paid downloadable vid! I'd certainly pay for it! Found him only about a year ago and think I've watched every vid 2-3 times.......huge fan of his style!!! Smooth, yet aggressive ! I love it! Oh.......and tone for days!
Wow - learned more in 4 minutes than the last few years
Such an important distinction and examination of nuanced playing, absolutely loved it! I've been saying/teaching the minor 3rd for years is the "bend friendly" note, lol. It's my first lesson with intermediate players because as you just experienced it's instant value. I think it's the understanding that it's the "notes between the notes" that the masters all have in common. BTW, I had no problem with the camera angle but, it's good to know people's opinion since I sometimes record using this angle.
OH AND TONE IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!!
Great! I like so much!
Hey Doug.
Robert Baker sent me. I just subbed to your channel. Awesome guitar playing!!! Have a great weekend and be safe out there.
Super great tone for those expressive bends! Oh yeah. BTW Tom Bukovac mentioned you today on his Homeskoolin' series. Great turn on to your channel. Love your instrumental discs too. Keep ripping and sharing. Thank you!
So great!!!!
The tone of whatever the combination of things are? sounds great! I like how it's laid back until pushed as well. It jumps right up! and just has that gritty sizzle! Sounds like hollow wah'ish low wind p',ups. Great sounding combo of gear.
Mark B it is a 5 watt Hughes and kettner I have it. It has one big tube and I think a tiny preamp tube and that’s it. Doug said he was using that and a little cabinet. I have to use a drive in front of it but it has decent cleans. They don’t make them anymore. But great price and it shows u Doug or a great guitarist can make anything sound great. Someone thought it was a Bogner.
This guy is a great bluesman, sound of the guitar is oustanding!
Wouw.. great tone sir👍👍☕
When I saw the title, I thought: this can't possibly be a 'masterclass' of blues if the vid is only 4 and half minutes....WRONG! Awesome insights from Doug here.
Great lesson, but please film the fretboard square on during the examples. It's a bit hard to see what's going on from the headstock angle. Great lesson though!
Was thinking the same thing.
Respectfully, If you can't tell where he's playing, you ain't ready for it boo!
Robert Hackett Amen, man.
Respectfully, if they don't film with the guitar square to the camera it defeats the purpose of filming it in the first place.
Hey Alex. The internet's a great tool for learning but at some point you've just gotta use your ears man. Clapton, Beck, Page, Hendrix etc slowed down 45 rpm singles to 33 1/3 and figured this stuff out for themselves. The good stuff should take some effort otherwise we would all just be talentless DJ's. Keep rockin man
Why is everyone complaining over the camera angle? You can clearly hear/see what the man is playing and if you're still struggling to pick it up, the Tab examples are in the magazine.
Brilliant camera work - NART!!!
You are my new guitar hero. Why did it take me so long to discover you?
Pablo Saldana why? U gotta look for great guitarists.
Saw you in that great Video with the SG - Saturday Night Specials, and loved it!!! So, are you using the same pickups in "this" guitar? Love the Blues and love your Blues playing! These are some really cool tips! The only good 'bends' to have!
Thanks so much for this!
Great great player
That tone is ridiculous!
Mark it’s a 5 watt Hughes and Kettner head and a little cabinet.
@@joerobinson6199 see it’s all in the fingers.
man doug is great
can u pls put the rest of the video online?
Great Camera Angle! Allows me to see more of the underside of the hand and what its doing behind the neck of the guitar. Really important when learning string bends and vibrato. Also for anyone that can not figure out whats going on. Whenever he bends with the third finger he is playing 2 or three frets above his index finger. Its all about bending until you hit the note you are shooting for and having the camera pointed directly at the fretboard straight on will not help anyone in that respect.
Never heard of him, but man some tasty playing right here!
If youre not too familiar with D.R. Check out his work with the Edgar Winter Band !!
Gary Moseley get Edgar's dvds. Doug's all over them.
Gary Moseley where you been man? He’s been around for at yeast 11-12 years.
Doug taught me my first Eric Johnson lick!
o damn this is golden
Bends allow adding subharmonics to a note for as long as it can be sustained and regenerated. Instead of mostly fundamentals, scrolling through and sliding into pitch allows the current signal to bring in some spectral energy from other frequencies and when they beat against the other ones those beat energies (as well as additive and subtractive standing waves multiplying and dividing dynamically the raw spectral energy density at any given instant) dump into the bulk spectral energy currently sustaining instantaneously inside the physical object itself.
This is something that can only be created on a fretted instrument playing a note while changing the tension and break angles of everything - even fretless can't because the finger force is applied through a large damping area even though you can slide through the pitches even more dramatically than the width of the neck and maximum deflection the strings will allow (why people switch to lighter strings and maybe even flats/tapes as they mature); every fret is a like a zero fret so your finger is not in the regen loop, it's merely against the neck where it has little impact. Even using a metal fingerboard doesn't isolate the gen/regen from your fingers as well as using a fret.
There are many intrinsic properties of music that people understand but don't understand why or how they understand, which is the part that I actually seek understanding of. It's sort of like it's easier to learn things if you learn how to learn first. :-)
(it plays into my theory of not how to 4/4 but why 4/4 is so prevalent that it's also notated as common time, something to do with the cellular resonance of humanity and the interactions of forces around us)
Yeah, I just realized that the clip is from 2017 but I stand by my comment lol
CHANGE THE CAMERA ANGLE!!!!!\
Im more intrested in what kind of strings you use and pick?
Any chance you could swing by rural western Maine once a week for lessons? : /
Check out his gear demos....some of the best guitar playing and display of dynamics & tone around.
Agreed👍
The third position is my go to.
Great stuff here, but my god that side camera is the worst camera angle ever! His hand hides almost everything he plays, the full frontal shot would have been much better!
Just so fucking good.
Those bends sound sooo cool!! And I love that woody hollow kind of sound is awesome!! Does he say what kind of amp or pedal he is using here? I imagine it has a lot to do with that particular Guitar too???
Just using a Hughes and Kettner 5 watt amp. They don’t make them anymore. I have one. One tube one preamp tube. That’s all he’s using. His knaggs signature guitar.
How can I get the whole footage? Just buying the digital version? link available?
Is that A he hits on the B string the second pentatonic position he is talking about?
How can i buy this!
Anyone know what amp he is using? superb tone.
Hughes and Kettner 5 watt mini amp. Sorry just saw your post.
when we buy the digital edition do we also get the cd content?
All the content is included in the digital version.
two thumbs up on the camera work lol
@@dethstormpx4 ASSHOLE
Yes - could you please tell us what amp he is using in this clip?
burntumber561 Hughes and kettner 5 watt tubemeister
Are there more then this then licks in the magazin or is this the whole lesson?
Everybody stop the crying about camera angles this guy is giving a killer
lesson in bending for Free !!!!!
I guess when Doug’s the teacher you can do a blues master class in 4:24. Lol.
cool guitar,, what is it?
Knaggs Kenai
Doug's tone is real nice on this vid.. What's he using ?
A 5 watt Hughes and Kettner. I have one. It’s the player. So many people think he’s using a Bogner or a boutique amp. Just saw this sorry a bit late to the post.
waht setup amp pedals use here?
beautify remodelaciones again, because it’s on the upper posts a 5 watt Hughes and Kettner and tiny cabinet. That’s all.
draps rocks!!!
Didn't know Sal from Impractical Jokers could play so well.
Great Vid Doug! To anyone who thumbed it down,you can bash that thumb where the Sun don't shine! Hahahaha
whats the amp here?
A 5 watt Hughes and Kettner. Tiny amp. That’s it and through he said a cabinet he can’t remember. It’s in the fingers. Everyone thought it was a boutique amp.
was Doug in England for this piece?
No, the footage was shot in Norway last year.
Box 3
That squeak he gets when he bends the strings is straight out of Duane Allman's playbook. Is it the pickups, the entire guitar rig? Nobody gets that sound anymore. What brand of guitars is that anyway, hard to read the logo.
Ok it’s a knaggs but he uses strats, Gibsons, Iconic strats, Friedman and Fender strats. The amp is believe it or not a 5 watt Hughes and Kettner simple mini amp. That’s it. It’s in the fingers. But great gear definitely doesn’t hurt that’s for sure. But he’s a great player. He can play through anything and sound great.
Guitar he is using?
Knaggs Kenai Tier 3
sal from impractical jokers is pretty good
Very Peter Green !!
Really really appreciate your sharing these little licks.....BUT GUYS, please shoot straight on......the side angles just are not working. See other comments.... thanks!
It's the BB box.
That's the bb king box
Can hear a bit of Duane Allman in that position ?
hot bars? My bending skill came from just hitting the wrong damn notes and having to correct in a split second timing :| Funny though how my playing has actually adjusted to that and never really changed.
What kinda guitar is that?
Knaggs
has anyone noticed he is using his finger to pick the strings for the first few licks
Tasty
The people that thumbs downed this should have their thumbs removed.
well said
Martin Gordon Well said Mr. Stalin. 😉
Talentless losers trolling videos. Each thumbs down is just another butthurt report. Suck it up losers Doug is the man!!!
Ok I changed it back to a thumbs up. I gave it thumbs down because of the camera angle. How can we learn anything if we can't see it? Please don't remove my thumbsbecauseIwouldn'tbeabletohitthespacebarAwShucks.
Or maybe they just have short thumbs that don’t go over the neck and are jealous.
Where was the part about waking up this morning, still good regardless
Great demo. But what's with the camera angle on the fretboard when he's fingering the riffs? How's that let you see clearly what he's doing? Get someone different on camera, who's also a guitar player.
who's this guy
Nicholas Foti 🙄
