Great website. I was surfing looking for Long Cool Woman and came across your site. I just retired, a friend of mine and I get together every Wed and play for 5 hours. I was wanting to play LCW. I do not play guitar very well, so I learned to play bass and can stay up with my friend. Still dable in guitar but have the time now to practice the guitar a little more. Your instruction is precise and to the point and doesnt spend 10 min repeating how to play a pattern. Will still concentrate on bass but will be tuning in.
Thanks Much
Larry
Thanks Larry! Enjoy your Wednesdays and your music!
This is the best guitar learning website and I've been using YouTube for three years now for my guitar adventure. I have three guitars, two amps and a loaded pedal board now. All mid level stuff, but what I want to know is how do you control the sustain on your Dillion in the Bo Diddly lesson? You have awesome tone in every video for me to strive for, but this one stumps me. With my Epi Sheraton (335) and a Fender 6L6 tube amp, there is too much humbucker and the Strat single coils seem too thin. Okay, I'm in love with your Dillion, but I can't go there yet. I have EQ, overdrive, delay, and reverb pedals. It seems like I've got to palm while strumming that tough pattern, but you don't seem to be. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!!
Hey Jackson! I can't begin to tell you how cool your website is and how often now I refer to it. I have a vintage 1964 Fender Mustang that I used to play as a teenager in a garage band. It's been sitting in a closet for the past 45 years, until a friend of mine started a guitar club. So, I've taken it out and started "relearning" how to play. Your instructional methods are really helpful, but I'm finding that my fingers aren't as nimble as they once were, and the narrow neck on my Mustang is sometimes causing me to have dead strings when I play some chords. I'm thinking about maybe a hollow or semi-hollow body electric that has a little wider neck. What do you suggest?
