I am old school, meaning that I was in the scene early 80's. Dangerous back then to be a punk, lots of fist fights , substances, depravity and chaos. Kind regards Rockabilly Rob

Great tutorial, I'm subscribing to your channel. As my buddy once said, "Ever notice that punks grow up to be rockabillies?" So true!

@DEATHRAYCAT 3 года назад

Thanks Dan! Yeah it’s all the same really, the 50s / 60s rockers were the punks of their time!

@evanwright1180 3 года назад

After years of playing, I never knew the trick where you just slide the "bar" back, and not the whole chord. Great stuff!

Dead Kennedys holiday in Cambodia, another great example of how punk, old school rock and roll and surf guitar can be closely linked

@rockabillyste 3 года назад

When I wanted to learn more jazz and western swing my guitar taught me the rules of jazz. Rule one was "Any chord can be entered into from a semitone above or below". The examples he gave me were "Jailhouse Rock" and "God Save The Queen"

@DEATHRAYCAT 3 года назад

Nice ! Who knew the sex pistols were Jazzers !

@attentiondeficitsquirrel7660 9 месяцев назад

The great thing about rockabilly, is it very much encompasses several different genres of music. I think the great Brian Setzer taught me this more than anybody that rockabilly is a mishmash of rock ‘n’ roll, country western, swing, bop, and jazz. And learning good rockabilly guitar will I think, more than just about any other genre of music, expand your musical vocabulary significantly.

@DEATHRAYCAT 8 месяцев назад

That’s a great take. It’s all rock n roll at the end of the day! Cheers 🍻

@Wulf425 2 года назад

This was super cool, you're a rock n roll historian. I discovered a lot of those similarities between early rock/rockabilly/punk as I was learning guitar in punk's heyday. Love the Ramones/Richie Valens mashup.

@kerryfromaj9032 3 года назад

Thanks!! I was lucky to see the Ramones, Motörhead and countless other live shows… I dropped out of high school and soon after Motörhead released Ace of Spades. Of all the lifelines that could have been thrown my way back it was Lemmy and Co to save the day! That album got me on track for sure. How very cool to be learning music that matters with your “genre specific” lessons. Many thanks.

@m.j.vazquez4720 3 года назад

does anybody else think the key to a rock revival is a joint effort from rock n roll and punk ? the music is similar the clothing , hairstyle,clothes. attitude is similar they could so shows together promote each other and they would both be counter cultural to most if not all of whats going on in the music world today

Can you do a A/B comparison between the T'Armonds in the white rat rod and the D'Armond 2000s in the black cats eye behind you in this video?? Maybe give your opinion about the differences between them that you can hear being in the room maybe a difference if feel if any?? Thanks
