Hey Tom, we have met a few times at music venues. I bought a guitar about six months ago and need lessons. Now that I’m singing in a Rockabilly band, Bo Peep and Her Wayward Sheep, there is a hard push drive to learn guitar. These videos should be a tremendous help.

Musical Math. Great term. Music has been defined as the relationship between time and frequency, so musical math is literally what it is. Players/artists working that relationship make music, whether punk rock, rockabilly, or classical music...anything between. It's great that you pointed it out. Well done, and great series. I'm an old retired bass player who was paid to play for fifty years, picking up guitar (and other instrument) pointers in many styles of music to simply expand my vocabulary. Rockabilly is one genre that has always interested me although I didn't play it. I literally yesterday bought a Gretsch 2420T as inspiration for jazz voicing and rockabilly. Thanks for your videos/short tutorials. Well done.

That was cool!

Tom, Nice to have these fond memories?

Looking forward to singing and playing along in the future.

You killed it!🤙

Aloha! Wishing I was closer to the music. 🤙

love you videos and learning many stuff.

I’m gonna have to hire you to teach me some rockabilly. I love the Stray Cats and I’ve always wanted to play that way. I’ve got a hangstrom Viking II and I’m planning on Gretch in the near future.

Thanks for the instruction Tom. I'm still relatively new but you are helping me understand the rockabilly sound and adding great licks to my toolkit.

Great video Tom! I just went out and got the same Boss CS-3 and DD-3T based on your recommendation. Any chance you could share your settings for the pedals to get the amazing sound you have? I'm playing a Gretsch Duo Jet through a Fender bluesman. You rock man!

merci !

Holy CATS! This is as gold as the Guild Manhattan Special rockabilly machine I just picked up! Can't believe I'm seeing this for the first time, but that's what happens when you search rockabilly gear - thanks Algorithm 😀 and THANKS Tom you kickstarted a solid year of practice right here!

Wow. Geeze. You're amazing man

What string gauge do you use?

Man, this is awesome ! A lot of useful information. Many thanks

Wow Killin it ! :)

I think the TAB for the riff around the 9:06 mark needs correcting. After the first riff the riffle that follows has 85 75 pull offs on the E string on the repeats. Same thing around 9:14 on the scale ru down... pulling off 85 75 on the "B" string and again on the G strings. I still love it but I slowed it down to see why the TAB fingering sounded different to your playing. :)

“Eggs, chips beans & honeyroast ham”. ? I’ll get my coat….

Rockabilly gold dust. SUB….. SCRER….. IBED! Props from the UK 😊

Great! I appreciate your video instruction.

because of this video, I'm going to check you and Amber out in Anthem! (And with any luck my new G5622T will be here that day!)

very good!!!!

hey man, really good job

Great teaching style.

You have a very encouraging charisma about you...thx for this!!!

I'm new to rockabilly .., your vid was very helpful to me . I'll continue to watch for your other ones ! Thanks a bunch !!!

Thanks! You've helped me immensely!

Hit me up for lessons! thomasmein@gmail.com or 602-367-3865

Did the band break up?

I should be so lucky as to come across this pair at a farmer’s market near me

I've just started getting into rockabilly and this is a great tutorial on some basics. Cheers mate.

I think your playing is Fabulous. JB @ Nth. Yorkshire. England.

I’m 63! Always loved rockabilly (Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Setzer, Robert Gordon, Dave Edmonds/Rockpile) but never explored playing it on guitar for some odd reason. Lately, I’ve been listening to Brian Setzer and dabbling on my Gretsch 6122 Country Gent that hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately. It’s a great instrument and I should play it more often. Your videos have inspired me to work on my rockabilly chops. Also, got inspired to add another Gretsch to my stable, the 6120GTFM Brian Setzer Nashville I got from StreetsoundsNYC. Arriving Tuesday and can’t wait to trying it. Keep the videos coming. You are an excellent teacher and I find your channel both informative and entertaining.

Well......Tom.....whenever you are ready to put your CZcams 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.

On the first tab, third note, the 6 (on the B string) should be on the 7th fret. Also, love the lesson Tom. Thanks for laying out the basic effects to get "that sound" too.
