Please play the lick example before explaining it. It gives a reference point for the brain.

Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge with us for free!

Thank you for showing licks in different keys & string sets. That’s the true way I learn and implement new stuff 🙏

Jason’s 20 lick course he references here has really upped my game in this style. I’m using these ideas on gigs and the band is taking notice!

Yep, great stuff. For over 25 years I've been using a .15 G and taking out the .17's when using Teles. This makes it easier to pull it down and hold as well as being less fatiguing to hold it a whole step up while doing other things.

I think Jerry Donahue was a genius of the bend. Really enjoy your lessons. Thanks 😎

Great video! I see what you did there about the hybrid picking and not mentioning it. That forced me to not think about my picking and just find the notes in due time. Thanks!

Merci. Best lessons for the guitar, bar none.

Great lesson sir. I absolutely love that Telecaster - sounds like the ideal Country and/or Jazz sound. I have two Teles: a real one and a black market one, which is sort of a 1/2 Tele, or just a "Tel"

Just learned a ton of stuff on my lunch hour! Thanks for the great content.

4:12 was when I finally heard what I was supposed to play

Check out "Whip the Blankets" by Neko Case. Travis Good is playing the guitar in that.

Loving the 20 licks course so far! I'm on my way!

You can add Marty Stuart and Kenny Vaughn to the list of guitarists who utilize steel bends. Cool to see that you name checked Jerry Donohue and Duke Levine!

Nice Firebird you got there! Seen Epiphone put out one for the price of a low Gibson 😂

When I heard you say Danny Gatton, Jerry Donahue, Albert Lee one name pops in my mind. I think unknown for most people. Stewart Barnes. Born in Yorkshire England but lived from his early 20's in Belgium where he unfortunately died in 2023. Maybe he was the fastest picker of europe and was on stage with Carl Perkins (who gave him a guitar), Dolly Parton, Boxcar Willy, Dennis Weaver, Jeannie Denver (his wife) and I do have some footage of him when he was on stage with Jerry Donahue when he was in Belgium for a workshop. He was my father's best friend i'm sure you will like his Guitar playing 😎 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iy6ZjbrBsBI.htmlsi=KhDdN33bGwSaFB96 Ow and thanks for the guitar lesson 🙏🏻

EXCELLENT STUFF!!! Great way to learn!!!!

Brad Paisley is great one and Brent Mason likely played any steel bend you have heard in a country song between the 90’s and early 2000’s

im a sub now , great lessons for intermediate players

absolutely !! TY !

Brent mason

Roy Nichols reverse bending down to the 7th

Just suggestion ...play it first to give idea what it sounds like etc 👍

Twenty "likes" for this encyclopedic lick, useful in so many keys. In my early work on these bends, I find I'm sometimes out of tune at the end of a practice. Is the solution bending less? Or just keep tuning up?

Love the vids! Is that color on your tele honey blonde?

Johnny Hiland

I can read tabs I can make the guitar sound nice But idk what half the words you’re saying are sir

Duke Levine all day long!

What is the advantage of the Charlie Christian neck pickup? Thanks for sharing

Step 1: get a telecaster

To my ears, this is in the key of C, not G, because C is where the lick wants to resolve. Great lick, by the way, and one that I usually play with slides, not so often with bends.

What bridge pickup ? I want one , thanks Jason

Would a b bender work with bends

does anyone know the name of the tabs for this one? I looked through the freebies, but can't seem to locate it. thanks in advance!

Hi, how's it going? I went in to have a look at the free stuff. It asks me to sign up. I'm not wanting to put my password in, so I backed out.
