- Go To countryguitarch... for more information about guitar licks for Dwight Yoakams Guitars ans Cadillacs song. Check out "Mastering the Fretboard" part 2, if you would like to learn some great sounding lead rides to play over this progression. This is a remake of one of 3 UA-cam videos I made up for this song. Another guitar lesson teaches part of the second solo that Pete Anderson played the recording, and the other is part of a solo I played on my instructional video. Hope you enjoy them and learn a lot from them. Please give them a thumbs up if you like them! Thanks, Ken

Man I love every one of your videos. This one I’ve watched 100 times. Pretty sure I got it finally. Please keep up the good work. I’ve learned so much from you.
Ken, you may have had a cold when you did the first video on "Guitars, Cadillacs", but it helped me and so many others to learn to play the song. You are one of the finest guitar pickers I know! Through these wonderful videos I feel like I know you. Please keep up the good work and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, maybe I'll be lucky enough to hear you play live. Thankz
+Audio Tech Labs Thank you for the kinds words!
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Guys like you do so much to further the joy of learning and the videos are immensely helpful. I get too many 'ah-ha' moments watching you teach! Finally, the previous video was fantastic - as was this one. Best regards.
Tremendous work!! Love this lesson.
Ken, I want to thank you for the lesson. Very well done my friend.
+0372mr335 Thanks!
Hey Amigo, you do great work showing us old rockers how to do these country chops the right way. You are a seriously great talent man. Ain't nuthin wrong with what you do. Keep it up my friend. Your amigo here in Idaho Falls
+heplar Thanks Man!!!
beautiful tele!! and sounds awesome.
absolutely spot on
Thanks for this man! But now I got to find this other video. I think you just created a new audience for it.
Well done, one of favorite songs ever!! What gives it that "twang"? Like a slight distortion.
Thank you. It's mostly a combination of of picking technique from both hands. A Fender(ish) style amp will sound much better than a Marshall or high gain amps. No, it's not the slight overdrive that makes the "twang" sound, but I do like the sound of an amp that's just on the cusp of being overdriven.
Good stuff, buddy.
Ken, for a beginner you should explain note for note what you are playing.
Nice job!
Good job
Man I'd like to know what amp your using? & Are those Seymour Duncan vintage broadcaster pickups? Or was that your other tele? I love your tone in all your videos not to mention your playing!
Thank you for the kind words. It's been a while back since I shot this video, but I'm going to guess that it was my 74 Princeton. I really can't recall what the pups were at the time. That was a tele I built using parts from Warmoth, and I tried a half a dozen necks as well as a half a dozen sets of pups in it, and I never did like the way it sounded. I still have it, but it hasn't been played since about the time I shot this video!
First, thanks for not explaining every single chord and the anchoring!! That kills most lessons. I really appreciate you taking time to teach us. I'm an intermediate Rhythm player overall, but an amateur lead player. Sadly, I memorize lead moves more than having an intuition. Lead playing comes very slowly.
Thanks Kenny!
Agreed. If you are already to the point you believe you can play this solo, then there is no point going over very basic stuff, which is what a lot of these UA-cam lessons do. It's a huge waste of time. I could figure this solo out myself given time, but the very reason I look online for lessons is to save time (my band is doing this song for the first time in a couple of weeks, so I don't want to fart around in Transcribe! learning it.)
Thanks! I understand how you guys feel, but I too have alot of videos that cover the basic stuff along with the solos as well. I put these youtube videos up to draw folks over to my website where I have many many dvd and download lessons available for purchase, as well as an online membership which gives you access too all the lessons. Many, if not the majority of my customers need help with the basic stuff like chords and rhythm patterns and what have you, so I include that as well. But I'm like you guys, I'll watch some of my own lessons and think to myself "Geez, just shut up and play get to the point"! But then I remind myself that I have to think about the general players out there that need that little extra. Thanks again!
That's a sweet looking neck man!
badass Ken!! nice stashe!! yu need to wear a cowboy hat for effect!!!
can you please do a video on ain't that lonely yet by dwight yoakem
Hey Ken! Thank you for the lesson. I am a big Dwight Yokam fan and a fairly new guitar player. I am wondering is your guitar or amp set up a certain way to get that classic Dwight Yokam sound?
Hi Dennis. I didn't set my amp up any different than I normally would, but Pete Anderson used a modified deluxe reverb on all those early Dwight records, and he had mid tone control added that he would set at 10, roll the bass off to 0, and I'm not sure where he would set the treble. But every guitar (and amp) sounds different, so you just need to experiment with your tone controls to find the tone you like. Thanks!
That little groove at the very beginning, what is that called? And can you make a tutorial over it
Hi Austin. It's a boogie kind of pattern, and I have an entire course on on kinds of country style rhythm patterns. You can check it out here: countryguitarchops.com/product/country-rhythm-patterns-2/ - Thanks!
@@CountryGuitarChops thank you, I heard it and I wanted to hear more haha. Do you think you could make a video on these grooves?
Where does this fit in the song? During the verses or between the chorus and 2nd verse? Just wondering.
I find your work really educational. I'd appreciate a little more talk on how you get the tone you do on each of your works. If you might. If not, fine. I get educated regardless.
Hi Kirk, and thanks for the comment. My tone settings are basically the same on all my lessons, I just use varying amounts of delay and reverb, sometimes adding overdrive or other effects if the song calls for it. For those, I explain what I'm using. For this lesson I was just using delay and reverb, and I may have added a touch of overdrive in the mix.
The main "tone" comes from a Fender amp, this one being a 65 Bassman. I have a slew of Fenders amps, but my favorite is my Deluxe Reverb. They all have the basic same "Fender" tone, so if you like that sound, you would want to use a Fender amp. The settings are simple, bass and treble set around 6, plus or minus at tad. No drastic EQ settings, and certainly no bright switch turned on for more treble when using a Tele. I forgot to mention that I use a compressor too.
For this song, I used a short single quick delay around 140 mils and a little reverb. In a live situation, I would have my reverb turned off because a room will naturally create enough reverb for this particular song. I hope this helps!
If I had the guitar knowledge just in your little finger, I would just keep my damn negatives to myself.
I want that fender
Thank you!
Ken ur a top notch player! what r the pick ups in that telecaster sounds awesome .
+starlin hembree Thanks Starlin! This new tele has the Seymour Duncan Broadcaster pickups.
what year is that tele?
I've always heard that older tele pick ups sound different then newer ones... is that true or is it all according to the amp?
+Matt Goodson I just built it. It's a Warmoth Body and is loaded with Seymour Duncan Broadcaster pickups. The tone comes from the wood, and pickups just enhance whats already there, but different amps have different tones too. Thanks!
Mark, exact same thing here. Interesting!! lol
New fiddle? Warmoth?
+Alex Whalen Hi Alex! Yep. I just built it. It's a Warmoth Body and is loaded with Seymour Duncan Broadcaster pickups. The neck is a no-name and looks great, but I'm not crazy about the tone because it's pretty weak in the mids, so I just ordered a Warmoth neck too. Hopefully it'll improve the tone. It's great to hear from you. Thanks!
+Alex Whalen I've got the SD Vintage Stacks in the sunburst American Standard that I replaced with this new one. The stock PU's buzzed so bad at the gig I had (shitty stage lighting...over 100 cans) that I had to go with the humbuckers, and the vintage stack bridge sounds pretty good. The neck, not so much, so I put a mini in there and liked it alot. But the tone doesn't compare to a nice single coil!
I wish you were my guitar player
Ken do you have my email address? I need to ask you something and you tube might get mad. It ain't nothing big just a question about a guitar
+357bullfrog please go to my website and use the contact form. Thanks. countryguitarchops.com
+357bullfrog Got you email and responded, but it didn't go through. It's an issue with Yahoo's email system. But no, I don't have guitars I'm looking to get rid of at the moment. Thanks!
Ah, I think I'll just figure it out myself.🤔
that's the easy one....lol
+jchavins I've got a lesson for the other solo too!
jchavins absolutely great player and teacher
Just stop
