Darrel always comes up with the goods on live performances - one of the best rockabilly guitar players out there.

[@billyrocca9029]

Thanks for the tips Darrel. That major third on the high E string at around 0:16 is a breathe of fresh air... I can trace some cliff gallup in some places. Always great to hear you play.

Legend guitarist.This guy can rock out. Love the guitar!

[@Glockerstein]

Great job! It's all about what key you're in and following the chord/scales. That's why it's important to practice chords and scales.

[@maximuswedgie5149]

Incredible guitarist

[@jcblackhat]

Couple months and still working on these...man, does he make it look easy!

[@mrcreative6020]

Fantastic stuff Darell, Really learning a lot from you. Still saving up for my Eddie Cochran 6120,

[@MrBabelfish5]

Awesome lesson. I wish I could get the feel of Rockabilly and have Mr. Higham's chops.

[@begtotheroots]

I know I will NEVER play likes this, not in 1 000 000 years, but it`s great to watch and hear your playing!!!

[@guidorollard2944]

Yes you can, it is years of practise, and every single day. Thats the problem most of us have. Motivation, dedication to play declines after a while.

[@begtotheroots]

...and I´ve started too old!!!!

[@guidorollard2944]

blues legend Tmodel Ford started at 54, see ua-cam.com/video/D8j3NUzPBw4/v-deo.html, iám 50 play guitar 2 years, can do this F shape part from this vid ,

[@begtotheroots]

This gives me hope (haha).... and headache :)

[@toddflowers8052]

have been eyeing that EC Gretsch and now that I hear it I'm going to pull the trigger ! Thanks Darrel! :D

[@soundknight]

DANG!

[@jcblackhat]

Totally killer...gonna need UA-cam's .75% speed to figure this out!

[@plesbly]

Buena técnica.. Se ve fácil pero es súper difícil hacer eso.. Técnica de mano derecha impecable y digitacion perfecta .. Tremendo guitarrista Darrell.... Sigue dándonos alegrías a los que amamos el rockabilly

[@jharsch3453]

Debe escucha a Jim Heath de Reverend Horton Heat. Estan el mejor

[@plesbly]

hello friend is a matter of taste, it seems to me that this man manages very good technique and retains the essential of rock and roll and rockabilly, for me one of the best ..

[@colinjwilliams6149]

Nice shirt man!

[@julesbaby47]

Hi Darrel, more tips and tricks please...they're gold dust. I'm used to rock/blues solo's where there is more space to think, whereas the RnR/Billy is frantic. So pleeease do some more mate. Cheers

Sir...... thanks for sharing a bit fast for me..wishful thinking a slowed down adaptation would of been worth its weight...lick in "G" nice really nice too fast for me
But ...generous of you to share...most appreciative...side note your neck pickup is not the usual filtertron...more P90..better sounding for Rhythm ...probably?

[@itscoopeinnit]

Any tab kicking about or a break down for the first lick?

[@wallsmartsme]

Sounds like Chet Atkins. Bryan setzer?

[@dogxhot]

You lost me .What has Chet ever played that sounds like this ????

[@buddyollie7400]

dogxhot true...

[@WahlbergBabey]

Walter Klimas omg yes very Brian inspired 😍

[@LarryStallings-dk4rr]

WHERE YOU A BIG DANNY GATTON FAN?

[@rockabillylaker]

I liked the video before he played one single note.
