    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

    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.

    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.
