I don't think there's a "scale" per-se for psychobilly guitar playing, but there is definitely a feel, and a set of chords and rhythms that imply psychobilly.
@@BobcatOneManBand oh that's nice. We have some music on Streaming with Circus Rhapsody. Rock'n'Roll Black Cat is kinda Rockabilly but we're on it to experience some Psychobilly 🎪🎶

Keep up learning this style! It's very under-utilized in music outside my scene (psychobilly, punk rock, folk punk) and i always want to hear it in different contexts
Franny Beecher was a big Charlie Christian fan but I don't know if he used that scale. I knew that when I heard the playing of Franny Beecher that he was a big fan of CC. I heard it. Beecher's playing was like CC on high octane. He even played guitar for Benny Goodman just as CC did but Beecher wasn't a well known musician under Goodman like CC was, it wasn't until later he came into prominence.
Hey bro, hope you are well - love this psychobilly renaissance you're having..! If I had time I would be knocking on your door for some more tuition..!
Thanks for the vid Adrian, enjoyed learning about the psychobilly scale and style. I am modal guy so like the idea of Dorian blues. Psychobilly hasn't been my cup of tea (I;'ve been shredding with harmonic minor and Phrygian scales lately), but will look into trying it out. Any suggestions for good backing tracks I could use to practise improvising?
No worries Jim, thanks for being open minded and checking this out though! You can use this over any minor blues but if you search up any rockabilly backing track youll find it should work well given it’s a blues based scale idea really. Maybe someone needs to make some psychobilly backing tracks! Also if you’re looking for some of the more commercially successful/palatable psychobilly checkout mad sin, but yes it’s an acquired taste for some!
Very good.. Gives you that rockabilly feel... My question is would this work in the same position over the 4 and 5 chords, Or would you shift to those positions accordingly?
@@AdrianWhyte Cool.. I've done it a lot both ways with blues scales... I was just wondering if this was different in that respect.. You answered my question thank you.

Cool thank you so much! I just have a phase and write some psychobilly songs and this is some gold to add to the sound!
I would like to hear some of what you wrote! Are you in the USA?

Hey Adrian,
is this a g blues then transitions into a g dorian in the upper octave kinda thing or do i have this mixed up?
Bailey Roe yes! That’s right - you could also refer to it as a Dorian blues!!! Nice one!
Adrian Whyte Sweet!! Definitely give this a go next lesson!

Hi Ed, great question! You could use it in both contexts! Plough through all 3 chords or move it, both work!

noice!!
Yawn
