You are a genius with the patience of a saint. That is a rare combo. I still can't believe you are willing to sit with us and show us all 3000 notes of this awesome song.
Words cannot express how grateful I am for this video. Perfect. Thanks. I have always watched Jerry and Chet do it live and always thought, I will never be able to do that. And now, I kinda can . . . at 3/4 speed!
Brilliant explanation, well done! You've preserved the integrity of this great piece, and showcase Jerry's talent. Having played in his band for about a year, I can testify that the beauty in his playing is the rhythmic feel. You nailed how he moved like a drummer with brushes though the B7 passage.
I always have an "impossible" goal set and I work until I get it. This was an "impossible" that I just couldn't learn by ear. I've searched far and wide, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find another lesson this good without resurrecting Mr. Reed himself. THANK YOU!!!
every day for the last 3 days I have practiced piece by piece for about 2 hours at a time and I finally have the entire A section down. Thank you my friend :-)
I can't adequately express my gratitude for your kindness and patience in showing us how to play this piece. Thank you very much for taking time to do this. I am a fan! Shalom/gw
Thank you so very much for posting this superb video. You've done a great thing for a lot of people. You have an excellent teaching style and I'm not alone in being grateful that you made it so well!
who gives this a thumbs down?!?! awesome video! I have played guitar for many years and always wanted to learn this. thanks for taking the time to make such an awesome video.
The best "Breakdown" instruction I've ever seen. Far better than that crap DVD instruction I ordered from Buster B. Jones. He showed off more than he taught. I hope this guy teaches all of jerry's guitar style playing. He knows how to teach. Note for note, string for string, finger for finger. There is no better teaching style than that.
I was going to say the same thing as Jeffrey 3 years ago: I admire your patience and dedication. I have struggled with this piece a while ago and decided to give it another more serious shot. Your video has been a great help. Many thanks!!
Thank you a thousand times over for putting this instructional video together. It ha been extremely helpful and provides everything I (a novice guitarist) needed to learn this sweet tune! You are awesome Thanks again!
Your lessons are so great. Thanks for taking the time to be really precise and basically like, awesome. You're the best. Jerry Reed is my favorite musician even though I'm 13 years old, and I've learned East Bound and Down from you already. you.are.amazing. thank you.
Not sure who gave this a thumbs down, but they obviously have never played a guitar. Fantastic playing, Dario! An amazing display of musical skill, no criticisms here buddy!
It's about time someone put a great tutorial of this song up on UA-cam. I've been following your channel for some time and I always learn something new. Sir I applaud you! Thanks again!
Fantastic, as is every thing you do!. I've been playing for many years, I've retired from the road and now I want to LEARN how to play the fun stuff. You are a credit to UA-cam, I'm sure there will be many players as greatful for your talent and smooth teaching skill as I am. David (Cotton Dan)
So helpful. I learned it out of Craig Dobbins' book and it just never sounded right. There are some critical differences in the way you play it that make a huge difference. It flows much easier and I understand the feel now. Thank you!
This lesson is excellent. This is the kind of stuff that belongs on UA-cam. It's a shame we have to wade through so much garbage to find this type of quality, but it was worth it. Thanks a lot, Dario!
Sometimes tabs can help, but honestly most are almost always in-accurate, also the way he explains in his lessons i honestly don't know why you'd need tabs. He breaks it down pretty well and makes it very simple if you ask me :)
Dario man this has taken some time to do but for us newbies its brill,this is very much appreciated thank u so much,,,its nice to see some one do all this effort,,thanks again m8 wishing u well take care all the best Mac
....a giudicare dalla lista dei commenti qui sono l'unico chitarrista italiano :-)... , complimenti Dario per la tecnica acquisita le tue capacità! e questo bel video! che mi ha permesso di evitare il faticoso lavoro di tirarsi giù il pezzo nota per nota... Grazie ancora!!
This is probably the clearest, most thorough guitar instruction clip I have ever seen! Well played!- I will check out your website and hopefully pick up some more gems there....Thank you for sharing this with the world- it's a great tribute to Jerry!
I am an avid fan of both Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins and very much impressed with this video. The teacher has not proclaimed himself to be the world's best player nor as being better than the two heroes mentioned. This has been a mysterious tune for me to grasp since it moves by so quickly. This video will help me learn my missing notes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent - I think your playing is impeccable! Kudos to Dario Cortese!! from the Seasoned Guitar Stylist
You are one badass player. I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley, both of us with guitar cases carrying our axes, and do a playoff with you! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial!
Dario! Thank you for this video! I managed to work through it over a couple of weeks and modify it for the "Pop Goes the Country" version. You saved me an incredible amount of time that I would have spent transcribing this from scratch. Your talent is top-notch, and I really appreciate you sharing it with the World!!
Best breakdown of the breakdown that’s ever been broken down.
You are a genius with the patience of a saint. That is a rare combo. I still can't believe you are willing to sit with us and show us all 3000 notes of this awesome song.
I appreciate JR’s skill and creative genius even more now. I have mastered it at 1/4 speed!
I’m my opinion this is One the most entertaining genres of guitar, really shows the possibilities
I know that this was 12 years ago, but I have to comment... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING NOTE FOR NOTE LESSON!
Words cannot express how grateful I am for this video. Perfect. Thanks. I have always watched Jerry and Chet do it live and always thought, I will never be able to do that. And now, I kinda can . . . at 3/4 speed!
Best video for a certain level guitarist. No BS, just patience and accuracy. Bravo to you.
I don’t know what’s more impressive, playing it at full speed or breaking it down one note at a time. Bravo
Brilliant explanation, well done! You've preserved the integrity of this great piece, and showcase Jerry's talent. Having played in his band for about a year, I can testify that the beauty in his playing is the rhythmic feel. You nailed how he moved like a drummer with brushes though the B7 passage.
Wow! Thank you man! You just made my day :)

44 deaf blind people. An awsome cover of an awsome song. Very impressive. Thank you very much.

Probably somebody who is jealous
Right? I mean there shouldn't even be an option for a thumb down for this kind of talent.
This is the best breakdown of "The Breakdown"!
To quote one of the greatest pickers of all-time, whom you've so masterfully honored here...."Dam son!"
Great job.
The best "Breakdown" instruction I've ever seen. Far better than that crap DVD instruction I ordered from Buster B. Jones. He showed off more than he taught.
