Guitar Lesson Overview
Rockabilly Guitar Lesson Lick Brian Setzer Style
This is a short Rockabilly guitar lick in the style of Brian Setzer. It is played in the key of Bb, and it sounds great when played with a humbucker guitar through a clean amp, with a little bit of slap back delay.
This lick will require a bit of a stretch with the left hand fingers. Depending on the flexibility in your fingers, you might prefer to use your pinky or ring finger for the first note on each string, when you play that fast 3 note run over 3 strings.
I advice you to not play this over and over for a very long time, each time you practice it. The reason is because your fingers get tired after a while, and if you force it too much, you can develop tendon issues in your fingers. Practice it often, but not for a very long time each time you do practice it. Over time, your fingers' flexibility and strength will increase, and it will get easier and easier to play.

Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.

i've bween hearing a lot of flack about playing by using scale patterns. and its easy to see how scale patterns repeat them selfs every time you reach the root note again . can you expound this further like how to play a solo using this theory?

Comment added on December 01, 2009Cheers, Robert... another great guitar lick. Rockabilly is a great guitar style that seems to have a more upbeat style than blues... it's that major third that brightens up rockabilly licks... brilliant rock 'n roll style worth exploring... check out Cliff Gallup's guitar playing with Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps... http://www.rockabillyhall.com/gvCliffGallup.html Cheers!
