- damianbacci.com In this Western Swing guitar lesson, I'm going to be teaching you how to play Junior Barnard's guitar parts to "Fat Boy Rag" by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. I hope you enjoy the lesson. :)
Great lesson. My late Father saw Bob Will’s & The Texas Playboys several times towards the end of WWII when he was stationed in Texas & Oklahoma. I’ll never forget my Dad hollering “Take it away Leon, take it away, Aha” - imitating Bob Will’s.
probably the only guy on the tube that teaches as if he just learned it and you are sitting there as he shows you. cool tune! thanks
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
You’re the best teaching dude out there! Heck of a player!!!
Thank you Kevin. That really means a lot to me.
Have a great weekend & keep on rockin' :)
I agree! Another great lesson!
@@lehmusic2675 Thank you Lance :)
I have your great rockabilly and jump blues courses and would buy a Western Swing course without hesitation. Thanks for all of the lessons, Damian!
Thank you Matt. I appreciate all the support. :)
I definitely do see me doing a full length course on Western Swing guitar playing in my future.
Keep on Rockin'

Fantastic. Your lessons have made a big difference in my playing and I dig your positive vibe.
@@Damianblf The problem is the term "Western Swing". Many Rock music fans including me assumed it means corny country crap when I NOW know it's fiercely rocking cool music that lies at the very foundation of Rockabilly and ALL ROCK& ROLL!
Damian, you are one of the best, I use a lot of your licks in my band, they think I am great, creative and a natural player.....🤣🤣🤣...Thanks
Kevin is right, don't know any teacher who makes it with so much enthusiasm like you! And your playing is awesome
Good heavens, it's the same tragic end as Hank Ballard's!! Two greats of guitar. And I have to agree totally that learning this type of soloing improves technique in general. Thanks, Damian.
I'm from Tulsa so Bob Wills has always been a big deal here. I'd always heard Bob and the boys were influential in rock and roll. I never understood till I heard Jr. Bernard play on those Tiffany Transcriptions. Thank you. I'm going to work on this very soon. Thank you Damian!
Thanks for this lesson and transcription - really useful stuff.
I love your lessons and my daughter starts with your videos ( she have only 12!!)
Incredibly awesome my friend! Thanks for letting us be apart of everything you do Damain!
Thank you Joe for watching. Hope you have a rockin' weekend. :)
Another great lesson! Would love to see some current videos of you and your band performing.
Good lesson, Damian. The Bob Wills band’s music always makes my smile. Junior was something else!
Damian exudes cool riffs and enthusiasm that is unsurpassed in the guitar world! I knew very little about rockabilly guitar and after getting a couple of his videos and watching all of his lessons online, i can now play a set or two! If you are reading this, you have come to a great place for learning and playing rockabilly, jump blues, swing, jazz, etc.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Glad you are enjoying the lessons. :)
Love the sunshine state vibe…super lession!
Thank you very much :)
Another awesome swinging groove.that's good playing...more more..
This is officially the coolest guitar lesson on TH-cam. Thanks!
Thank you very much Keith. I really appreciate it.
Have a great weekend & Keep on rockin' :)

Excellent work thanks.🏴🇬🇧

Hello from just down the road in Fort Myers, Florida!
I've wanted to learn this style for a while and these lessons and your passion for it are making it fun! Hope to see you playing out sometime soon when life gets back to normal.
Damian I think we need more photos of Sunny Tampa Bay at the beggining of your videos! Thank you for a new lesson !!
Thank you for watching. :)

Excellent lesson! I had not really heard of Juniour Barnard so thank you for educating me. Keep up the great work.
What a great guitar style. Thank you for introducing Junior Barnard.
You're welcome Matt. Thanks for watching. :)
Great lesson man brought this old rocker out of the lockdown hole last year. Killer Damian
Glad you've been enjoying the lessons. Thank you for watching. :)
I absolutely love your videos and your DVDs! Also, appreciate the guitar picks and note that came with it!
Nice touch Damian!
Another great lesson. I can't wait to try it. You're so positive & friendly, I found myself waving good-bye to the screen when you were saying good-bye! 00
Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
A lovely gem beautifully polished and presented by a true gentleman. I love it.
Thank you for the kind words Stephen.

Good stuff. I like your lessons I live in Tampa too. ! Thanks !! Good job !!
The highlight of my week! Great lesson Damian, really melodic, thanks for taking the time to put this up. I love the way your lessons teach how to outline the chord changes. "Jolly good show" . Best wishes. Guy.
Thank you Guy.
Hope you have a rockin' weekend :)
Oh man. Awesome DB. Great job here with the lesson & the short history of Junior Barnyard. Sounding Great with the Jr Barnyard Pedal from Nocturne All his products are where it’s at. HEY PEOPLE. Don’t forget about the Rockabilly / Jump Blues courses. I mean for the cost you can’t go wrong. Hope the hiking was great DB looks very cool. Thank you as Usual for your hard work on this. 👍
Thank you very much for the kind words and for all the support. I really appreciate it. Our vacation was great. On our first day arriving in Gatlinburg, we saw a big ole Black Bear. It was awesome. :)
@@Damianblf Woah,. That is something you don’t see every Day Nice 👍.
What an awesome ambassador for these guitar styles. Inspiring lesson as usual!
Thank you very much Willie :)
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Love your lessons Damian. You are a great player and a great personality.
Thank you very much Rob :)
You can't run from karma.
Superbly done boss, that tune's smokin'.
Definitely deserving of a thumbs up as always. 😎🎙🎸✅
Thank you very much Julian.
Keep on rockin' my friend. :)
Damian, I'm right with you on loving listening to (and beginning to play, and big thanks for helping me with that!!!) all this music, and your tastes seem to right in the same pocket that I just love!!! Thank you for this, and I have to tell you: I am REALLY REALLY digging the Junior Barnard solos!!!! What dynamic and melodic lines he plays! Punchy with lots of great interval jumps that just satisfy!!!
Hi Adam. Glad to hear you enjoyed the lesson. Means a lot to me. :)
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Nice piece. Good playing Damian.
Thank you. This was a super fun lesson to do. :)
I always enjoy your playing and your lessons. Thanks for all the hard work, man.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. :)
I love Lester's sound! I dont play guitar but I like to hear you reproduce his sound. I tinker around with the fiddle but never anything recognizable. I love those Tiffany Transcriptions. Another not well known Western Swing bands I love is Ole Rasmussen and his Nebraska Corn Huskers.
Thanks man.
Thanks for the Lessing, Damian! 🙂
Awesome! Your channel is just what I’ve been searching for. Love this style of music and looking forward to learning more about it.
I’m up in Clearwater!
Thanks Bill. Enjoy the lessons :)
Love your chromatic rides, western swing and your explanation of western swing history🎹👍 hammondB3jack
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. :)
This is fantastic.. thanks Damian👌
Thank you :)
Digging that jr Barnyard pedal. Thinking of getting one. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you Carla. I'm really enjoying the pedal. I plan on doing a video review of the pedal next month. :)
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
I love your videos and how your t-shirts are completely unrelated :)
Thank you very much. :)
Great lesson Damian! I've been trying to play along with you...but not quite making the tempo...you have great technique! Thanks again.
Keep at it. I'm sure you'll get it up to speed very soon. When I'm learning Junior's licks I've got to learn them very slowly and little by little I start to speed them up. He sure was one fast player. Thanks for watching. :)
Karma police Radiohead Rag?
This is gorgeous, more country swing roots stuff please
Your joy of music is contagious,
Radiohead Rag. I like the sound of that lol
Thanks for watching Dan :)
Dude, your a genius.
Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
yeah Damian, ❤ much thanks
Thank you for watching :)
This music is new to me, like it very much :)
Glad you're digging the music Roddy. Thanks for watching the lesson. :)
Hi damlan, don day here. Just wanted thank you for the great lesson. Also let you know i bought a guitar for swing & rockabilly. A gretsch 2420. No bigsby. Absolutely love it.
Excellent Damian... (Rab)
Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
This is so darn good!
Thank you very much.
Have a great weekend & keep on rockin' my friend. :)
Brilliant Damian, Thanks a lot
Thank you Martyn for watching. :)
Really enjoying this lesson, although struggling a bit to get it up to speed, but I got a bit confused searching around TH-cam for the original as it turns out there are actually two Fat Boy Rags, with two different band line-ups both featuring Junior Barnard and both recorded in 1946, maybe sometime you could add a lesson on the other one.
This is great! I love this tune. Maybe you could teach us Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys - You Just tak👍👍
Thank you for watching the lesson. I'll write down your request in my request book.
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Yeah man!
This is awesome!
Thank you :)
Ima jump on this sunday.
Hope you found the lesson helpful.
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Thanks so much for posting this, I was trying to work this thing out on my own and getting really frustrated. Love the Junior Barnard. I wonder if his two sons had his musical talent
Hi Samuel. I've wondered also if they play any instruments.
Thank you for watching the lesson. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks Damian
Thank you for watching Jake :)
Great job,thank you
Thank you :)
Awesome!
Great video, amazing sound, which of the Lindy Fralin pickups are they?
Thanks for watching. The P90s are the standard ones they make not the Hum Cancelling ones. Cheers & keep on rockin' :)
Thank you friend, God bless.@@Damianblf
It's funny how you can hear Bob holler "ugly! yeah!" when Junior takes his 2nd solo!
Wonderful
Thank you John :)
And to think, this is only one of the two versions of Fat Boy Rag. They're both fantastic and totally different from each other.
Yes, both versions are great. I'm planning on doing a video on the other version soon. Thanks for watching. :)
Yes! 💥
Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
Always great lessons presented well, how is there 3 thumbs down?
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. :)
Hi Damian..I play a standard Guild Manhatten x 175B... Which Lindy Fralin pickups have you fitted?... What was your main reason for changing?...
Good Man !!!
Thank you for watching :)
Go Habs go!!!
Thank you Glenn for watching the lesson. :)
Smokin’!
Thank you Ian :)
You’re welcome! By the way have you ever looked at the solo in Evangeline by Los Lobos? It was recorded in the 1980’s but it’s in a 1950’s style. Would be a nice one to do.
👊🏼
Great!
Thank you for watching the lesson. Much appreciated.
Have a great weekend & Keep on rockin' :)
Can you do a video Junior’s second solo in Fat Boy Rag?
It's on my to do list. Thanks for watching :)
@@DamianblfAny update on a video for the second solo?
I own the same shirt!
Awesome. I got mine a few years ago at Wal-Mart. :)
Same here!
Hi Abigail!
Thank you for watching :)
What I don't understand is no one talks about the other version of fat boy rag. I learned it 20 years ago. Asleep at the wheel played it on Austin city limits. Seems like people either know one or the other. But not both.
I know both and will be doing a video on that version soon. Both are great tunes and I equally enjoy both. :)
This style of playing is so tasty 🤤!
Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
western swing player guy with a ramones shirt an andy capp hat and a zz top beard WTF
anyway great lesson!
First!
Imagine what he might've contributed to Exile while Keith was upstairs in a heroin stupor!
Western Swing Ain't Noise Pollution...
Thank you for watching the lesson. :)
il n'y a jamais le rythme .
The good version of Fat Boy Rag. The version they did around the same time that's more commonly covered is so boring comparatively
Thanks for watching :)
