I started learning guitar when I was 50. I was afraid that I wouldn't succeed. But when I was looking for how to play Folsom Prison Blues, I found your video. Thanks, man, for the quote at the end! I can do it, no matter my age! Greetings from Poland!
Another fellow punk who loves country, true country. I grew up playing power chords now I've been playing "Americana " for about 10 years now. Got into Townes Van Zandt and he changed everything for me. Getting into Luther Perkins playing lately so I love this lesson. Thanks man.
I haven't checked out your videos for a while, but watching this reminded me of why I like them. Straightforward, simple and clear explanations that really help my playing. Thanks.
Years late to the party, but thanks foer the tutorial! The tabs were slow enough to follow but also fast enough to connect with the ear. Great teaching!
Greetings from Basye, Virginia. It's where I am in the spring and fall. I'm right across the bay in Bradenton in the winter. And I'll be watching you from Digby, Nova Scotia this summer.
Awesome. I need to visit Virginia sometime soon. I'm huge fan of American history and George Washington's Mount Vernon is on a bucket list of mine. Keep on Rockin' & enjoy your summer in Nova Scotia. DAMIAN
leegordonjones Virginia has its share of early rockabilly performers including Gene Vincent, Janis Martin, and Wayne Newton - yes he started out in rockabilly. There’s a collection of 60 rockabilly tunes recorded by Virginia artists between 1956 and 1960 called “Virginia Rocks” you might want to check out before you tour the Commonwealth. No shortage of jazz players either including Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Byrd, and Tiny Grimes. Other notable guitar players who at least lived here a while included Roy Buchanan, Danny Galton, and Bill Kirchen.
I've always loved this song and read on thing on Luther got that sound ' I heard he used a Fender super reverb in 68 at Folsom prison " he turned the middle off and get that snappy sound" amazing
Wow great lessons. I wish I had these as a kid. I gotta show my son these lessons. I'm teaching him and I'm always on the lookout for stuff to help. Thanks
Thanks for watching the lesson Joel. I bought that poster 29 years ago. Minor Threat and the Straight Edge music scene had a big influence in my life back in the late 80s & early 90s. :)
@@Damianblf that's a long time ago. I think I gathered at some point that you are older than you look. I've smoked pot since I was 15 so I never really got the straightedge appeal though I knew Ian was straightedge. For me I was just into the punk and ska thing period. I like your Op Ivy poster too. 👍.
Great Song, & Great Instruction. Viewing this rom Chico, California. First tried to learn Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues in 1958 on a Sears-Roebuck Silvertone guitar. No Tuners back then and I only figured out C, F, & G Chords. Lived in El Paso, TX, back then. Thanks for your videos !!!
Hiya Damian - Yes! Cash was most comfortable singing out of 'F', so he and the band tuned up a hair. Something else I learned about Luther... When I lived and entertained down in Nashville, I thankfully had the pleasure to meet and know a lot of the Old Guard... I miss those great guys. Anyhow, a few of them would tell me and then fellas in the band old stories about guys like Hank, Elvis, Johnny, etc... One night, we were told the story of how Luther never seemed confident that he was a "good enough" player, and would act sort of embarrassed when the band played live behind Johnny on variety stage shows... So to kind of screw with him, say Hank Garland or Grady Martin would be playing on the same show, so they'd sneak behind the curtain, directly behind Luther who was of course in front of the curtain on stage, and plug in and "play along with" Luther while he was doing the show... We were told that Luther figured out what was going on right away, and he'd start clowning and making like it was him that was playing all of the fancy stuff, when in reality it was someone like Garland or Martin just goofing off behind the curtain! We were told that Luther thought it was the funniest thing on the planet, we were also told that he was one of the most good natured guys you'd ever want to meet, too. I'm thankful that I got to know a lot of those "old guys" while they were still with us... Jimmy Dickens is just one really great person that I fondly remember... He was incredibly funny and would come to our traditional Rockabilly shows and talk to us for hours afterward... I truly miss that guy. Hey... By the way- is that Geoff Fireball playing the doghouse in this video? It sure sounds like him... I haven't seen that Cat in forever. Cheers, Brother...
Thx DB for another great lesson. As someone who has both URG and The Jump Blues course I can honestly say, go get em. They’re very reasonably priced and they’re are so many little licks and bends in different keys that will help you with your playing. No I don’t work for Damien, he doesn’t even know me. You won’t be disappointed
Thank you Alvin Awesome, It's always nice to hear of others who enjoy NYHC. Straight Edge Hardcore bands were a huge influence in my life back in the 80s. Great music with a positive message. I was lucky to grow up in suburbia just outside of NYC. I was able to see a lot of great shows and NYC was one of the best places to get hard to find music back in the day. I was fortunate to live so close. Keep on Rockin' & Happy Friday to you! DAMIAN
Hi XLBiker13 Good to hear from you. Hope all is well. I'm missing NY right now. This year will be the first summer in a very long time that I don't make it home for a visit. Keep on rockin' my friend DAMIAN
Hi Rob. Thanks for watching the video. Much appreciated. I'll work on trying to get some larger shirt sizes. Have a great summer in the Great White North! Keep on Rockin' DAMIAN
Great lesson!!! My favorite Cash song is Get Rhythm. I first heard it when I bought a rockabilly cassette when I was ten years old. Bought it with my paper route money. I had just seen the Buddy Holly story and Oh Boy was on there. Train Kept a Rollin’ was another good track.
Hey Damien I love all your corses.. I did have you send your lessons to boulder creek but I am generally hanging out on Mars.. I swear you have really struck a note with me. I am really Rockin outta this world, thanks to you , whatever planet you’re from! You are the rockilly zen master King.
Hey Damo!! I was just thinking this morning that we hadn't heard from you for while and here you are. Good to see you back on the air mate! I'm watching in sunny Northern Ireland (well, it was sunny this morning...)
Thank you so much for playing through all the major parts, instead of launching into 25 painful minutes of teaching us how to finger each note.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thank you for watching :)
