    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.

    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!

    The main thing that makes this cook, is Doug's great phrasing. Notes per se are one thing, but timing, dynamics and phrasing is where the magic lies.

    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!

    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

  • @morry51
    @morry51 8 років тому +10

    Hey, Doug, this is the first lesson of yours I've stumbled across, and I seriously want to thank and commend you! For some reason, the way you explain things totally makes sense to me. I've been playing many, many years - sometimes feeling stuck in a box for ages. But, after checking out a few other videos of yours, I can really see myself moving forward again.
    THANK YOU for sharing these lessons and tips with the rest of us. I've watched hundreds of YT lessons, and yours are exceptional! Big ups, my friend! :-D

    Doug you are such a Blessing to me Brother, I've been out of work for 3 months, thought it was MS for a while, now nobody seems to know, but anyway these few lessons I've found have been such a blessing in my life. I've been playing since age 11 and am now 46, all the tid bits I've stock piled over the years thanks to you have made some sense.it is my Prayer that I'm able to afford these Awesome stuff you put out one day, right my family needs every penny, but I'd so love to own it. 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

    New subscriber here, like many others, i was a rock player for years and shunned country, in the last few years I have been loving the country and the different techniques, the other day I watched a video of Glen Campbell playing with Chet Atkins and oh my God, talk about a mind blowing clinic of superhuman warlockery! 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! Thanks Doug!

    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!

    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

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.

    I've been playing solo acoustic guitar for about 50+ years. Starting to jam with some guys who are doing country. I really appreciate the way you teach this stuff. When it comes around to me for a "solo", I have no idea what to do other than play in the blues pentatonic licks that I've learned. This helps me learn some country stuff to add in that that mix.
