My pleasure!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Mine too!

Glad my video could help. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm always very glad when I hear my videos have helped someone enjoy music more. To me, that's what it's all about. Keep playing and enjoying. I wish you the best in the upcoming year too!

Thank you!

Thanks! Glad you and your dogs enjoyed it!! :)

Thanks Kevin. Happy Christmas to you too!

Thanks brother!! Much appreciated!

You're welcome. Brian Setzer is fantastic. I do the same thing with his music every 2 years or so - listen like crazy, then get tired and stop for a long time. Thanks for listening!

Very, very fun one to play. That looks like a GREAT pedal. I'm jealous. You should definitely be able to nail that sound.

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

You're very welcome Stefan. Thanks for watching!

Same

Thank you!

Thanks ... and thanks for watching!

You're very welcome

My pleasure Tommy. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Ha! Thanks, and Merry Christmas right back at you!

Awesome guitar, believe me!

@@MarkZabel I bet. I have the Bob Balch signature. It's my favourite guitar

@@Stagyar-Zil-Doggo That's a cool guitar too. I have a Buckshot I like, but this PA-1 is pretty special. It's 1st generation, which only came in natural and black. But this was a special run for Wildwood guitars. Really an awesome guitar!

@@MarkZabel it's beautiful. I went to the Reverend website to look for right after watching this video

LOL! Well, that's a first. Hope it sounds just as good after you've down a bit. Have fun with it!

Hi Mike, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

Mark Zabel. Thanx Mark ! Your Awesome Dude !!! :)

Glad to help!

No way I could've done this justice back in my high school days, though I had the stones to get up a do it along with all the other stuff I couldn't really play!! :) Glad to hear he was a nice guy. He seems it, but you never can tell. He takes the music (not himself) seriously, and his play really shows it. One of the best IMHO.

Bruce Wayne A very under rated musician for sure.

Woohoo!! Awesome!

Thanks Robert. I haven't changed the link yet. This tab is still available here (tinyurl.com/ybpzjuwm), but only about 30 of the 400+ are still available free. (Info on getting the others is also found via the above link.) I may do the second solo at some point. Thanks for watching!

Sorry about that Robert. There's TAB linked in the video description, which shows exactly what to play.

No worries! It was quite a while ago.

Angel Martinez the headstock tells reverend

Looks like the Reverend Pete Anderson

Yep, you guys guessed it. It's my Reverend Pete Anderson signature - the PA-1. (Special orange run). One of my favorite guitars! Here's a short review of it. ru-vid.com?o=U&video_id=9AkB47JUes4

Hi John. I just switched over a month ago and haven't yet changed every RU-vid link. (Over 400 of them) There are about 30 free tabs here: tinyurl.com/ybpzjuwm And you can get all of my tabs and backing tracks with either "Bar Band" or "Rockstar" membership.

I always like Brian Setzer, but didn't always like his music. Can't remember when I reconsidered it, but I did! He's an awesome player!

Had to google that. Kind of cool application of the "16 tons" chord progression. I'll think about it.

Hi Chloe. I'm fairly certain that what I'm playing is what Mr. Setzer is playing there. He's using some "economy picking" as I demonstrate in the video. However, the cadence is played in triplets and the first note is not really emphasized. Therefore, to make the phrase easier you can skip the first note of each triplet. (Instead of "bum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum", etc. you can rest on the first "da" of each to get "bum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum", etc.) This makes the phrase much, much easier because you don't need to use economy picking or to play super-fast. Good luck!

Mark Zabel that’s what i thought, he does that picking but it brushes over a few notes so it doesn’t completely make the sound. i think instead of doing the economy picking, ill just play the notes that i actually hear in the song hahaha

@@ChloeMoser Sounds good.

Christine Souza Reverend. Pete Anderson PA-1

Okay, thanks. Two things that may help you generally. 1. The tab is linked in the description of the video. 2. Try to learn solos by thinking about chords, not always scales or random notes. The latter part of the solo is largely about outlining chords. If you know just your major/minor chord shapes and their associated arpeggios it's a snap to understand and remember. He doesn't embellish much over the latter part of the solo (except on the diminished run, which I explain in gory details, especially on the picking technique), so it's a matter of seeing the chord shapes/tones. Best of luck.

Huh? Are you talking about the economy picking lick it the double stop lick? "Last One" is pretty vague. On the economy picking one I give tab, talk about target notes on each string, show you how to pick it and talk about how to end it, including fret and string numbers. On the double stop lick I give tab, fret and string numbers and a scale anchor if you know that. What are you talking about? I'd really like to know what you mean by "last one" and "completely unexplained".

Indeed, the “economy picking lick” I am seeing this on iOS so I only see the video 9nstruction. If you added a tab, then I sicerely apologize!
