- Ok, so you'll see that this lesson has a rather unexpected ending. I started out teaching you how to get your hands working in a swinging sync... and somehow started teaching you how to write your own songs! I love you guys and really want to see you playing your own music someday.

Great lesson Shane! I'm feeling it man. I almost broke into the stray cat shuffle. Meow
I'll say it again, these are the BEST beginner lessons out there. And they're not just for beginners. These are the breakthrough lessons, tips and ideas for anyone stuck in playing they're instrument at a certain level where they can't seem to progress (like me.) These lessons help get you out of your head, out of the mechanical process you've probably been trying to follow to improve and brings it right into, as Shane says, your spine.
Thanks Shane! When you first started playing I thought it was Stray Cat Strut! Wouldn’t take much to turn it into Stray Cat Strut. I always learn something new every time I watch one of your videos!
Me too!!!
my nephew got me started building guitars for him then I started watching shanes videos and was inspired to learn how to play myself.
Oh happy day, another awesome lesson!!!!
Back to watching old videos missing Shane’s basic lessons
I built my own guitar about 10 years ago and just brought it out today, so perfect timing.
This is basically the same as the Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats. Which is actually in the Key of Cm . When you play starting on the 5th fret that is C 5 or C power chord. The C5 works as a replacement for the Cm7 chord in the Stray Cats song. So did Stray Cats borrow it from Hit the Road Jack? Maybe.
Great lesson. Learning to pick that low string during the strum really opens up the possibilities! Thanks
Fantastic lesson. Can’t wait to get this swing down.
Great lesson....well done ✌🤠👍
Encore une très bonne leçon, j'apprend très vite avec vous. 👍👍👍
Thank
Stray Cats-ish ,,,,, very cool. Thanks Shane
Exactly Stray Cat Strut.
Thanks Shane another great rhythm lesson.
Music comes from the ❤,this you shows us in ervry lesson .Thank you very much...
Thanks Shane - another great lesson! Not quite as easy as you make it look but practice, practice, practice🎸
Hey Shane, Chuck McCoy here from Eastern Kentucky, just saying thanks for your time spent adding content. Just in the last few years I've picked up the woodworking hobby to prepare me for my retirement. I'm constantly watching the Makers channels on TH-cam for new ideas, which brought me to the cigar box guitar 🎸. Now I'm thirsty to create my own. Thanks to the people like yourself, we have paved paths for a fulfilling life.
Thanks from the uk Shane 😊 love your playing and enthusiasm for all things 3 stringed 👌
Great lessons, Shane! I learned to build from Del Puckett, and I'm really digging the Blues U. I will be ordering your book soon. Cheers!
Thank you again cbg guru! After that SlowRide lesson, I feel I got a grip on this. This lesson is even better 👍
Very good lesson. I am a song writer and this lesson impressed me. PS. That hit the Road Jack reminded me of the intro to Stray Cat Strut.
Thank you Shane! Another great lesson please keep them coming!
Great lesson, I am catching up on all of your videos
Every one of these lessons makes me want to grab my guitar... and I usually do! So long, honey-do list and hello good times! Thanks, Shane. Great stuff!
Thanks Shane! Enjoy your inspiration through your videos and your ability to slow it down for us. By the way, just ordered a couple of your slides😁
" If you're bobbing your head you are doing it right ". Aye - that's a lesson I've said to many others . . .
These lessons have definitely put on the right track. They are super easy to follow and they make playing my CBG enjoyable. Keep up the great work Shane this is awesome.
I write the lyrics and then "try" to add the music! LOL Thanks, Shane! 🙂
Thank you Shane!
Always enjoy your videos these years, Shane. And this series is really productive and helpful (and enjoyable).
Great attitude, love it. Thanks
i never aspired to writing own songs (not saying i am not gonna try some nice day), but must say .. lesson was great. Nicely composed, nicely explained with details exactly where needed. Thank you. Great job
Thank you, Peter!
Thanks Shane. It's amazing how much fun you can have with just a few basics. Love your vids. Keep 'em coming.
Another great lesson, thank you
Love this video. Thanks so much for making and uploading all your great videos.
My pleasure!
Wow, great video 👍🏼
Inspiring as always
Great lesson 😁👍
Hey going good another lesson😎
Great video 👍
Excellent
thank you for great tip
Awesome thank you
Shane,I have been noodling around sll day and my wife told me to "hit the road ".I am in the basement now. Thank you anyway.
I got a tattoo of you in twenty nineteen...
Not on my shoulder or calf but in between. My wife asked "who's that? "
I said "he's the King "
She said "he doesn't look like Elvis. "
@Shane Speal
I said, "that's the king Shane Speal,
He's the real deal!
He's got the Stubby Slide
He knows that Slow Ride "
She said "still doesn't look like Elvis "
...and now I am told I can get my dinner from the garbage can. 🍽 🗑🚮
@@johnwashburn3793 “I don’t know who the twins are, but the guy in the middle looks like Willie Nelson.” -answer to an old dirty joke. Google it…
The riff also works for "stray cat strut"
It is on the 2 and 4 beat that comes down harder on those 3 strings.
Sounds more like Stray Cats than Ray Charles to me. Thanks for sharing.
thanks man
Why not submit our songs? Another awesome lesson.
Spending more time on the picking hand helps.
I have learnt a awesome fingerprinting version...but not sure how to make a song out of it...could you please do a follow up of a song you have done with it
Yes, I intend on developing a songwriting series of videos
Who are the two fun crushers who disliked this fantastic lesson?
Same ones that downvote every vid I post. LOL
Yea play boogie woogie on 3 string slide?
👍🤘
Can't go wrong with Ray Charles. Thank you.
I haven't recorded myself playing this a song I did (yet). I saw Jamie McPherson (th-cam.com/channels/7vfb3P629osgU_EMef-ntQ.html) playing "I'm bad like Jesse James" and decided to learn the riff and write new lyrics for a song call "They call me the Wolf". I have the nickname at work as "The Wolf" (Pulp Fiction) because I know how to get things done.
I'm trying it on my 1 string, but when I grow a pair, I'll be man enough to buy & play a 3-string (Ed: Did somebody say "G-string?")🙊
Question.. I've been looking through good selection of your videos & didn't realise my TH-cam on my TV wasn't subscribed.. anyway what Pic do u suggest.. ones I have seem very hard & clacky on the strings.. I've a pair of 1 string & a 4 string diddly & in process of making a 3 string.. still learning but think my pic what's throwing me off... help... I've got 0.8 1.0 1.8 2.0mm pics..
Try a Fender medium to start. It’s all about YOU! Which makes your playing comfortable?
@@ShaneSpeal Cheers Shane only thing I seem to have an issue with is Grip.. I found another pic last night with mini dimples in it & it's alot better I was fed up of it slipping out of my fingers & the others I have are just too thick & make a crap clack sound.. I'm waiting for my mini Amp to arrive so maybe sound better amped up.. building a 3string with help from 1 of your videos coming along good just waiting on pickup etc...
@@Blackbeard-1980 Both Les Paul and Eddie Van Halen had the same problem and they would glue pieces of sandpaper to their picks
@@ShaneSpeal that's an epic idea!!!
Thank you Shane !
Sam.
