Gretsch 5422T Blues - Shuffle Blues in E 

What a wonderful performance. Whatever praise we heap on him can only be an understatement.

i've only been playing for 18 months, yes...i suck and i'm just a guitar newb (or is it noob?). pretty much self teaching myself. but i can play those simple basic cowboy chords, G, C, D, E, Em, Dm, F, A, Am, B, between the first to the fourth fret like a champ. don't ask me to play anything else cause i have no idea what the hell i'm doing, lol. anyway, lately i've been looking up tabs on songsterr and looking up the tabs to play the vocals on the guitar. my god, i can actually make my guitar sing the words. i got country road by john denver down. i got the flame by cheap trick down. and free fallin by tom petty down. not the musical part of the songs of course, cause i can't play worth shyte, haha, but the vocal part on the guitar, for some strange reason i was able to get those right, phrase it correctly, make sure to add vibrato and slide and make it sound like the guitar is singing the vocal part. took me a month or so, but man, hearing my guitar sound like it's singing is awesome. just wish i can actually play, maybe...no, no maybe. i'm going look up those pentatonic scales and learn it. my next goal.

@@Skaarxiong1 practice power chords,

@@user-cd9gk7lj9p i went 1 step farther, i'm practicing barred chords. lol, i hate barred chords...but i must master those if i ever want to get out of the noob playing stages.

The secret is using a product from Big Bends in the nut. Works great

@@ClintCurtis I am amazed. I know SFA and learn so much from other peeps questions and your advice. Thank you. Oh, and great playing as ever.

I'm looking at a used one, i'm poor

グレッチはいいぞ！

Just curious as to what particular music you believed a Gretsch to be good for ?

Jazz

Any kind of music that was, is or will be

I use D'Addario and a line 6 Helix most of the time.

Whatever were stock for this guitar!

They look like the old hi-lo trons that were on the original Tennesseeans.

Just my POV but, it depends on how much effort and practice you put in. Little bite size 15-20 minute daily sessions will get you better results than 2-3 hour sessions once or twice per week. Btw, even the late great SRV was known for doing sound checks that lasted for well over an hour...

Yeah well they are just as good as telecasters 🎸
