Been a rhythm player for 45 years. Been checking you out lately. Really enjoying the lessons!!
Awesome. Thank you so much for watching. Glad the lessons have been helpful. :)
I love this style so much and you completely nailed the feel and tone of that classic vibe. Well done I'm a student for life now
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the lesson :)
Nice. I totally dig the Johnny Rivers' version. My mom and I danced to this record when I was a wee baby back in the mid-1960s. It's an absolute joy to play this and other songs off that album on guitar.
Thanks for watching George. Keep on rockin' my friend. :)
I've seen a MILLION guitar lessons online and I've never seen one this stripped down... yet incredibly useful. I very much enjoyed this and learned a lot in a minimal amount of time. Some people (me) are very limited time-wise and this was perfect.
Thanks Mark. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Cheers :)
Not only did you present a great lesson again, but I always like the brief history intro of the recording, who wrote it, who played it and the positive words of inspiration on the outro! You are truly a classy guy Damian and one helluva guitar player! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you very much Gary. I really appreciate your kind words. Glad you're digging the lessons. :)
Keep on rockin' buddy

Mr. Bacci, thank you so much for this lesson. I have been waiting for over ten years for an accurate lesson of Johnny River's classic and you have delivered the goods!

Thank you for the great lesson, Damian. I always loved Johnny Rivers music. I haven't heard this song in a while and now will probably cover it thanks to you. Love "ALL" your lessons! I've been playing guitar for over 50 years and there is always something new to learn. "Thank You" for taking the time to present such great videos! All the very best to you....... John Cortese🎸✌

DAMIAN :)
Great concise lesson Damien. I worked with Johnny Rivers' brother and Johnny taught me this song as well as Secret Agent Man during halftime at a Superbowl party in '84 or '85. I confess I forgot how to play it, but you brought it all back. Be safe next week. All the best.
Hi Brad
Thank you for sharing your personal story with Johnny. That is so cool that he taught you those songs during the halftime show. Thanks for checking out the lesson. I hope it brought back some fond memories for you. :)
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Great job Damian!! You make it looks so easy. Thank you! Keep up the great work!!

Glad you enjoyed the lesson and thank you for watching :)

Great Job! Terrific Job on a old 1964 Johnny Rivers classic
Thank you very much. :)

DAMIAN
thanks Damian. you are the 1!!!! great lesson
Hey Damian. Always nice to c your lesson, your the best.
Great lesson. The tabs really help learn everything so thanks so much for that. Lived in Tampa for 15 yrs so know it well. We used to be able to dodge all the bad weather so stay safe and look out for all that water on Dale Mabry in South Tampa!!! All the best.
Thank you Tim. Glad to hear you enjoyed the lesson.
It was a relief that the West Coast of Florida was spared. It appears that the East Coast of the State didn't get hit to bad. Which was also some good news. I just feel horrible for all the people in The Bahamas who were affected.
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
Hey Dey-Mo! Good to see you back on the air again! Thanks for this mate, really enjoyed watching.

Happy New Year! May 2021 be an incredible year Thank you for always sharing with us.
!
Happy New Year George :)
This has F U N written all over it. Love it. Thanks Damian!
Thank You, Damian ! Another Outstanding lesson.
Thank you Leonard. :)
Great Lesson. Bravo Sir!
The "Live At The Whiskey A Go Go" album is state of the art early 60's rock. And this is a great example of that.
Johnny Rivers should have been huge but the Liverpool lads were taking over rock at that time.
My God I actually bought that Johnny Rivers album when I was a kid. It's been that long! And the song still plays. What a great arrangement and you sure do it justice let's hope hurricane Dorian is good to us this weekend. This great tutorial lightens up that drama. See you over on your website, I'm checking out your rockabilly CD. Been enjoying your great Rockin guitar CD.
Hi John. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. I hope it brought back some great memories.
The hurricane didn't affect my side of Florida. I hope you made out OK as well. It's been a crazy week trying to figure out where Dorian would eventually end up.
Thanks again for all the support. Much appreciated.
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN

Thank you George. I really appreciate it. My part of Florida will be spared. I'm hoping that the east coast of the state where my parents live doesn't get hit to hard. I'm currently sending good vibes to The Bahamas.

Hope you and your guitars won't be affected by the big storm coming in.......keep up the excellent work !
Thank you Johngonefishin. Much appreciated. It's looking like the Tampa Bay area won't really be affected by Hurricane Dorian. Possibly we may get some Tropical Storm force winds in the area. But I'm prepared and ready if things get bad.

Really love your lessons Damian & you're a fantastic player, thankyou for taking the time out to do these. As a request (I know it's not rockabilly or jazz though) if you ever did a feature on the late great Pretenders guitarist James Honeymoon Scott, then that would make my day.
Thank you, Damian! "Do svidanja" was so sudden.

You can play that song great thanks for the lesson get read for me to watch a lot lol. I remember my dad use to play that when I was just a little kid in kindergarten. I thought he was great and he used a 335 I think it was one his friend left over there for a long while. It was majical hollow and woody sounding.
AWESOME.....

Johnny did a great version of Memphis on the Dick Clark show. What is truly amazing is when he leaves his 335 balancing on a stool.
