What a treat! I love to see people so enthusiastic about their music. Good lessons, easy to follow. Cool sounds, clothes, guitars, everything! Thumbs up from me.
Your teachings are exposing my weaknesses. Great job! More work required. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to hand us the keys to the palace. You’ve got style and your playing is phenom. Appreciated.
I've been a metal guitarist all my life and i'm so gratefull to you, who made it easy for me to relearn the guitar with a music that i've been rediscovering. I'm 61 years old, and it's never too late to learn ... thanks again from Quebec, Canada
My wife just bought me a new Korean Gretsch electromatic, and I have been watching your videos at 1/2 speed and trying to play along to learn all these kool riffs. I will probably watch them over and over until I get the riffs down! Thanks for sharing these great videos.
These lessons are fantastic. I’m a noob, so I really appreciate the break down and all the camera views. Looking forward to more! Now....if only I can convince my husband that we need a Gretsch Falcon in the toolkit. 😂
OK.. dude. your lessons so far are great. I seem to have a irresistible draw to this style of music. I attempted to participate in your youtube open mic but, once your part was complete I could not continue to watch the next musician. Probably because I wasn't subscribed to the next talent in the line up? IDK. Anyway, the only thing I can suggest to make your channel any better is perhaps a "listening lesson". For example a song or two that highlights the concepts you're teaching. Good luck man! I pray for lots of success for you and your channel.
Thank you Ronald! That's a good idea! You should be able to watch the next act on my Facebook page. They aren't linked up to my UA-cam as of yet; I haven't figured that part out :) keep watching though, more to come! I appreciate your support!
TM. your vids Kill! Biggliest time. rockbilly with alt and upper partials, give it a great blusey, western swing, hillbilly jazz vibe. i love yer fashionista styely. i'm a gerry hattrick, who does my own orig stuff, and i love refreshing my chops with yor kickin' vids. whatever genre that i'm working on, my wife n i put on our threads 'n' shedz. Cheeers from a HockeyBilly geezer in SpoCanada. (1 year late).
Well......Tom.....whenever you are ready to put your UA-cam instructional videos on CD or even better DVD .....buy as many as you make.....I'm waiting !!! Text you in the past over this.....excellent work most appreciative for your generosity by sharing.
"I should get a... leopard skin shirt " or " DA DA DA DA .. dippidy doo" that's how I will remember the cadence ! Enjoyed your three in a row lessons. Fun , easy and sounded good. I was better sounding with each of them. And I did like the leopard skin stuff ! Liked and subscribed ! Mike from Boston
My favorite was the diminished arpeggio licks....Being a metal player, I constantly use the diminished scale to get that exotic sound....and in rockabilly, it sounds totally badass......Great video
Tom your Rockabilly videos inspired me to go out and purchase a Gretsch G5410T Rat Rod. Keep the videos coming you are a positive influence on many aspiring guitarists . Keep up the great work and may you and yours have a better 2021.
Again, nicely done! I've always had a great appreciation for Rockabilly. I'm glad you're doing this, it's very helpful. I'm hoping in future lessons you'll cover appropriate phrases over chords been utilized. Thanks!
This is really good tutorial to sneak into rockabily. The first one, I watched from the beginning till the end without hopping. Gimme some mo´, baby!! I will stay tuned with my hungry Gretsch.
Hi Tom. Cool channel I just tripped across! Fun and informative for someone like me just learning guitar. I never picked up a guitar until almost two years ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. I practice every day and see improvement every day but it’s turned out to be a lot more of a challenge than I originally “thought” Thanks again, I’ll be looking forward to your new lessons.
I love your video's man and I of course love rockabilly music. Please make some more diminished/ jazzy hot licks/ runs and maby some ryhhm chord patterns (spicy chords) . Thanks al lot for sharing you're work. Love it... Mike
Your lessons and teaching style are great, thanks for posting these. A suggestion would be to show where the root is in the licks so they can be easily transposed to a different key or over a different chord.
Hahaha COVID 19 works too! Never thought of that one - good call! But youre right, too depressing :) Glad youre enjoying the lessons ; thanks for your support!
Great vids ! I never really intended to play rockabilly but no doubt there are a lot of tasty licks and chords and you showcase them very well. Props for the camera work too\m/
These are great tuition videos. I play Big Band Jazz when we're not locked up, locked down or locked in by the Covod-19 pandemic and really enjoyed working through these lessons. Keep 'em coming. PDFs? Downloads?
I really enjoy the way you walk through the instructions. If I could make a suggestion, you should go through your equipment and give breakdowns on the various gear the same way.
Tom I have a Guild X 175 Manhattan. I am contemplating adding a Bigsby to it. Would B60 or B70 work. Thank you. I also have a Gretsch G2655T with a B50. Im trying to keep the cost down. lol! What do you reccommend. Thank you. BTW your videos are very clear and concise.. Thank you for posting.
Just talked to my friend and master luthier Tim at Atomic Guitars ( www.atomicguitarworks.com ). He said that he would need to measure to make sure, but typically, on an archtop, a B60 would probably be better because the angle from the bridge is already good. A B70 with the hold down bar is helpful for solidbodies that are flatter because it helps to give a sharper angle coming down from the bridge, while an archtop already has a good angle coming down from the bridge. Bear in mind that this is without seeing and measuring the guitar. Hope that helps! I will probably be having Tim guest on an upcoming video to talk about technical stuff, so watch out for that. Thanks!
@@tommein Thanks for the quick response brother. I don't plan on doing this for a while so I have time to plan. Thanks for the videos you do a good thing.
Thanks David! All the licks are played in A but can be transposed to any key. Whatever the key is, make the first dim chord the same root as the key and it will work (eg - if youre in G start the lick with the first chord 2 frets lower than shown - x x 14 15 14 15 ). You can really make it work almost anywhere; dim chords are fun that way. Hope this helps, and enjoy!
You are correct Edward. Good eye! Thank you for pointing that out; the tab was written incorrectly. I cant fix the tab in the video, but: Here is a link to the correct tab. drive.google.com/file/d/10gWNKlNCR-3zFH-I2wBaMLzmCPIQR3jp/view?usp=sharing
That is a great lick to play right before you change from the I to the IV chord, or any place there is a change from one chord to another. Thanks for watching!
I wish you would use a more straight camera shot of what you're doing. When you shoot at an angle your first finger tends to hide what the rest are doing. Which leaves me to guessing and trial and error. Yeah the chart helps, but is too time consuming . Try some straight on shots and see if your followers like it better.
Just watched all three videos over twice... and I'm in the office haven't even got my guitar with me!! Excellent ideas and presentation. One, hopefully constructive, comment is that whilst I understand the licks are all moveable it may be an idea to indicate which key they are in and which chords they link when you play them to the tab. Would make it easier to transpose for newer players or those like me who struggle to pickup key signatures, although I think these are mainly in all in key of A? Thanks again for your hard work.
Thanks for watching Arch! Yes they are almost all in the key of a, and I will make the key more clear in upcoming vids. Check out video 4 , all the keys are listed :)
Theres definately something very cool about these endings(and coconut shrimp!) but quite how its going to sound with my awful playing is another matter.
If you’re hungry you can have “Buffalo Wings.” And it’s always good to watch the game with “Pizza and Beer!” My friends in the UK might say; “Meat and two Veg.” 😉
What a treat! I love to see people so enthusiastic about their music. Good lessons, easy to follow. Cool sounds, clothes, guitars, everything! Thumbs up from me.

If my wife said go get a white falcon, I'd be out that door so fast!! But, A G5420t is going to have to be the one to be going on with!!
Rippin! I'm IN!!
The "Nicolas Cage" thing got me... Lol, VERY effective... Been singin it for 2 days solid now, lol...
That was a fun lesson! Glad you enjoyed it!

Are you playing the “ G “ string ? It sounds like it’s only the B and E string. Please advise
You are correct Edward. Good eye! Thank you for pointing that out; the tab was written incorrectly. I cant fix the tab in the video, but:
Here is a link to the correct tab.
drive.google.com/file/d/10gWNKlNCR-3zFH-I2wBaMLzmCPIQR3jp/view?usp=sharing
How bout this for an ending: Tom Mein Gui Tar! 4:57
On which chord would you play the first diminished lick?
That is a great lick to play right before you change from the I to the IV chord, or any place there is a change from one chord to another. Thanks for watching!
Rhythm phrase: "A Ver-y cool cat " might fit

The tab is showing chamber on from 5 to7 on the G string
Ah yes! should be b string. Dang this tablature! Thank you!
Hi Tom...great lessons!...The tab is incorrect and should be 5 -7 hammer on the b string, not G string... I believe?..
Thanks man! I believe you're correct. Man I need a proof reader. Apologies!
@@tommein Fine!..it's easily done!...I try and play a variation of that lick sometimes and hammer the B string!...lol
Theres definately something very cool about these endings(and coconut shrimp!) but quite how its going to sound with my awful playing is another matter.
You can do it!
Tom I have a question is the on screen tab correct ? .
Hi Edward
Which tab? I think I have had some typos. If you caught one, thank you!
Bravo et merci de France
Merci mon ami!
If you’re hungry you can have “Buffalo Wings.” And it’s always good to watch the game with “Pizza and Beer!” My friends in the UK might say; “Meat and two Veg.” 😉
