  • damianbacci.com In this beginner Rockabilly guitar lesson I'll be teaching you the chords and solo to Buddy Knox's 1957 hit "Party Doll". The solo is relatively easy which makes it a great solo to learn if you're just getting familiar with Rockabilly guitar playing.

    Thank you Damian, for indeed making all of your lessons with love. It is definitely not lost on us. From the background on the song, the people involved, the places involved, and the influences involved…. It’s all just incredible …..then the great lesson itself, the tour of the local area, and your words of wisdom. So entertaining, so educational, so inspiring. It’s definitely time well spent (on both sides). Thank you!

    You're one of my favourite Rockabilly guitar players. This isn't a comparison but for me you're on a par with Setzer, Eddie, Haley, Perkins, Buddy Holly. Keep on rocking. Stay safe.

    Damian's rockabilly lessons are like Cracker Jacks and the little travelogue snippets at the end are like the prize inside. Yes, I am also a fan of Cedar Key and it's really handy to my place up here in Levy County. 😀🎸

    Hey Damian...Watch this lesson on Party Doll yesterday. That's a tune I vaguely remember hearing as a kid. Oddly enough my wife and I went to the supermarket this morning and they were playing Party Doll on the store system. I did listen for the solo, and it sounds like he picked it instead of a pull-off. Anyway, thanks for the lesson, great stuff!

    Another fun lesson and always inspiring presentation. This time, the Cedar Key clip was a special bonus. I have had the Ultimate Rockabilly Guitar lessons for about ten years, and I still have a lot to learn from them. Public Note: Damian has not solicited my comments in any way. He's just a great teacher and a great guy, and I don't mind telling everyone that.

    I was 13 years old in 1957 and loved that tune soon as I heard it. Sounds crazy with today's music but it was banned by a lot of radio stations. Lyrics were too suggestive. Good video and as you said guitarists don't need to be flashy to sound good! Jimmy Bowen also had a few hits of his own during that time frame.

    • @Damianblf
      @Damianblf  9 днів тому

      I can only imagine how suggestive it seemed back then. Not something Parents would want to hear their teenagers saying. Cheers & thanks for watching :)

    • @Damianblf
      @Damianblf  11 днів тому

      Thank you very much. I can remember it like yesterday even though it was 24 years ago. The Misfits were playing in Orlando and Dr. Chud and Graves walked off stage and quit. The next day I saw them play in Tampa with Jerry singing and Robo filling in on drums. The show was alright at best. About 2 years later my band opened up for Graves. He had a really good band backing him. If I recall correctly we played a bunch of Florida shows with him :)

      I can remember seeing Shelter here in this area about 24 years ago at a large punk venue. There was only 15 people there at best. I felt bad for them. But here's a positive. Youth of Today played Tampa a few months ago and it was a full house! :)
