Good video. I'm having a surreal moment. I did this stuff in the Radium Cats at the time (80's). So I can give you some thoughts of someone who helped invent this shit. We were basically trying to do rockabilly, but in minor keys (because it was scary, like the Munsters theme). I was listening to Django Reinhardt at the time (minor swing, minor blues) which influenced a lot of psychobilly at the time. There was an interview in 1980 something, that said Eddie Cochran listened to Django. We were all just making it up. How can we make rockabilly sound creepy.
Hey guys, checkout my patreon - there's now nearly a dozen full transcriptions matching youtube lessons on full tunes - Nekromantiix, Tiger Army, Krewmen, RHH, Demented are Go and more! There's PDFs of lesson material as well. It all matches my other videos lessons which are free, but the options are there if you'd like to support! Very exciting to see how this video has continued to grow, thank you all so much!!!
been playing shockabilly / rockabilly / punk for years. but man i love your tutorials here. you explain how these chords work and fit together very well. cheers eh. keep em coming
Luv Psychobilly played for a few years . there is not a whole lot of Psychobilly lessons out there period especially with good theory behind it so keep them coming! Good work!
I remember finding your band about 10 years ago, (don’t remember the name but I’m sure I’ll be re-acquainted shortly) and your guitar playing absolutely stood out. I was in a psychobilly band for about a decade.
Hey mate, sorry for the late reply - actually it's just a standard brass nut. The video quality is a bit grainy, I might have to invest in a better camera because I get a few questions that the ordinary pixel quality is responsible for! haha
Personal preference mate - think about the sound you want, and then chase it! Or, play with the dials until it sounds right. So much of the tone comes from your fingers so practice and keep working at your tone through your fingers and your amp! I don't have a set formula for the dials to be honest
Hey mate, I’ve got heaps of lessons and full transcription of psychobilly songs and more on my TH-cam channel and Patreon now, not sure if you’re still into it but thought I’d let you know!
There doesn't seem to be any scarcity of psychobilly tutorials these days, ten years on from this upload. There's a variety of interpretations but that's no bad thing, we want to hear something unique about your own input, I'm certainly not disappointed here. The only offensive tutorials are those preaching the roots by people who weren't there. Specifically, those who get it wrong. A statement of appreciation is fine, we don't all have to be experts.
G'day Adrian. Awesome video, mate. Hey, you are right about some players hitting chords & not knowing what they are. I've met quite a few rockabilly players like that, & they can hit some awesome notes & not really know what the chord is, but they know that it falls in with what they are playing. I use many kind of strange "off notes" if you want to call them that with my rock & roll playing. The 'G' chord is one of my favorites as you can do a lot of the Cliff Gallup style playing & it sounds cool. Of course you can play Cliff Gallup style in any chord really, but 'G' is one of my favorites. One last thing, mate, yep, you gotta have a Bigsby!
Thanks! Well mate- you certainly don't have to use it! I guess I come from a Jazz background. I tend to like things that sound a bit odd sometimes, or else it all gets the same! In this context it may seem odd, but try even just strumming a d major instead of doing the boogie power chord thing and it might fit better. This is very common in minor blues, but your ear is boss...
Hey dude, personal preference really! I'm using 10 - 46 here, elixirs. It's worth spending the extra money on good strings though, that's for sure! I would say don't go too thin, you want some beef to your tone. I would say 10 - 46 is a great starting point, the thinness of the low E (.046) gives it bite whist the the top end is not to thin to have some punch!
Hey man, I’ve added a link to this video to my Patreon that has heaps of material now on psychobilly but more importantly I’ve uploaded a few videos to my TH-cam channe recently and thought you might be interested in knowing :)
Hey mate, it should be standard tuning unless I'm out slightly (I often tune my personal guitar to different tunings and return it back by ear so it could be out of concert pitch)
i love it..i use this allot in my own music...simple and fun.....you sound really awesome....i just need to learn the scales and what i am actually doing...as i do it all by ear...not sure what i am playing..but its what you are showing...lol.....:)
Not sure if you’re keen, but if you check my channel again it will be worth it for you, I’ve got heaps more videos and a whole thread on theory for rockabilly and psychobilly :)
I like the hollowbody personally - it's just a more interesting sound! But ultimately it's up to you - what do you hear in your head? I just did a video about psychobilly guitar tones - check it out!
Awesome tone and easy to follow instruction especially for an accomplished metal player who wants to learn psychobilly . Any videos on tone for psychobilly? I have a compressor with slap back running through a fender twin reverb. Any suggestions?
Watched the video on a psychology tone. It helped tremendously and I especially enjoyed the difference in the clean surf sounding psychobilly tone and the dirtier nekromantix/Tiger Army tone. A little off subject but what do you think of Batmobile?
Great lesson thanks. I love this sound! I have no idea who to listen too that sounds like it. Original Rockabilly yes, but who would you suggest as a good place to start with for the psychobilly vibe?
Not sure if I replied to this- listen to all of it! It's all relevant. I don't see how people get so up tight about it, given that the word psychobilly to my knowledge came out of the that old johnny cash song "one piece at a time".. Kinda says to me it's as much an attitude and feel than a specific band, style or era!
Lol It sounds like you might be using your camera mic to pick up the guitar and vocals try using a interface have a lavalier mic and mic up the amp then sync the audio and video later without using the camera mics audio. Anyways besides that I still dig your lessons a lot where you from? I'm recently making guitar lessons for a rockabilly teacher ill be posting some vids in a month ill send you a link tell me what you think from Santa Ana California. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video I’ll be sure to watch more just a little tip for u, the buzzing sounds are hard to listen to through headphones, I have a noise gate to stop the humming when recording guitar u should try one out.
Thanks man! This video is from many many years ago, I think my later videos are probably a little better sound wise over all, check out my channel and see what you think!
Graveyard Bats i use a strymon el Capistan, and there’s a little bit of natural drive from the amp, which is a budda SuperDrive 30 watt, el84 based tube amp! Hope that helps!
By the way, Cozy and myself are joining your Patreon as soon as we can. Unfortunately, at the moment, I am so broke that I am literally learning to play & sing the blues. 😂
allan steen iverssøn hey! I used a strymon el Capistan straight into a budda super 30 (original American made one) into a mesa lonestsar cab 4x10. Any good slap back through a clean amp will sound good!
Hey mate, I’ve since made a few tutorials on this and I have a Patreon with regular uploads and tutorials (see the link for this video and check out my other TH-cam videos recently uploaded to my channel!)
Hey mate, im using a Budda SuperDrive I think! That's my main amp, and I was most likely using that on the day- settings, couldn't tell you .. I don't think about it too much. Plug in and listen to the tone, if you want it warmer, adjust your bass and perhaps wind down your treble, brighter, the other way around- there's no rules! Find your tone! A little bit of slap back sounds great though and you can achieve that with all kinds of delay pedals
@@AdrianWhyte I just mean that at the start of the video you're explaining how to fret a Gm chord, then at the end of the video you're talking about how to interweave the harmonic minor scale into your playing in order to add the right character to your melodies. Are you expecting the person who is watching this to be thinking about advanced melodic composition but to have not learned what a Gm chord is yet?
@@seanylewl no but I’m assuming people of different technical and theoretical levels might be watching, so trying to accomodate a variety of people. Some may learn something like this with not harmonic/melodic knowledge and some may learn this with some, does that make sense?
@@AdrianWhyte That's admirable, but how many people do you think have started watching this, and then skipped it after thinking that it is a tutorial for complete beginners? If your goal is to teach people, then the format should probably be more focused than this. One video for those learning the basics, and a separate video for those who are more advanced. Otherwise the advanced people feel like you're wasting their time, and the beginners get overwhelmed. Of course this video is also 9 years old and my comment is 2 years old, so I assume this is all pretty irrelevant by now.
@@seanylewl it’s still relevant man and I do take on board your opinion! I think of it like the simpsons: kids and parents can watch it, there’s jokes for the kids and more subtle jokes the parents would get. It might also inspire less theoretical minded people to learn and come back. I always think it’s worth mentioning various bits of theory, I don’t recall going into any enormous detail here about the theory and the fact is information is present in the piece regardless of the level of the player. I could make two separate videos but I know the video that’s discussing the theory is unlikely to get many plays .. haha!
With this kind of guitar clean through something with el84s, something like a vox or fender bullies junior perhaps. This was through a Budda SuperDrive 30 which is a bit like the amps I mention above

Im a metal player myself and recently got into rockabilly/psychobilly. I gotta say this was an awesome tutorial, keep up the great work! Subscribed :)
Good video. I'm having a surreal moment. I did this stuff in the Radium Cats at the time (80's). So I can give you some thoughts of someone who helped invent this shit.
We were basically trying to do rockabilly, but in minor keys (because it was scary, like the Munsters theme).
I was listening to Django Reinhardt at the time (minor swing, minor blues) which influenced a lot of psychobilly at the time. There was an interview in 1980 something, that said Eddie Cochran listened to Django. We were all just making it up. How can we make rockabilly sound creepy.
+Paul Paterson Well, thanks for the invention sir!
We enjoy it for sure.
i saw you in the comments of one of the radium cats songs. great music man
Thank you for Zuvembi Stroll Good Sir!
I have a few CDs and records from you guys and the pole cats

Excellent teacher! Best on the internet. I wish he offered a full course.
Thankfully I have learned the basics so I can play along!
Back when i wanted to learn there was no tutorial online like this.
I just got that natural born phychobilly rhythm. But great video
been trying to work these sounds out on my own, thanks for the good work explaining.
Great to hear, thanks Chris!
I remember finding your band about 10 years ago, (don’t remember the name but I’m sure I’ll be re-acquainted shortly) and your guitar playing absolutely stood out. I was in a psychobilly band for about a decade.
That would be the Vaudevillains - thank you man, that is awesome to hear! Awesome!- what band?
Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated! When I get round to the next tutorial I think I'll just make up a solo and teach it!
Very cool. Love the little tidbits of knowledge you included about how to get the psychobilly sound. Super informative.
Thanks mate, it's been with me a few years now!
Excellent a new trick. Saved me a lot of work Thanks...
I might have to put something together in a similar vein, maybe 5 crazy psychobilly licks! lol
Genius. Simply genius.
Holy cow. First 10 seconds of this video is mind blowing.
Thanks for these tutorials, every bit helps.
Really great tutorial - I have learned a lot from your playing ... Thanks!
Cheers man, do you mean string buzz or volume peaks? They are both generally a feature of my videos lol
Thanks mate, cool tricks !! did t know what psychobilly was, great stuff..
Sounds great, beautiful tones
just checked out your album on spotify great album i added it to my psycobilly playlist
Sick lesson
Awesome video man! I've always been interested in rockabilly/psychobilly guitar playing.
Keep it coming.. I get a little each time i watch.thx
if i could play guitar ........ looks good - great tutorial ! Keep up your good work !
Hey mate, sorry for the late reply - actually it's just a standard brass nut. The video quality is a bit grainy, I might have to invest in a better camera because I get a few questions that the ordinary pixel quality is responsible for! haha
Glad to help!
No worries, glad you're enjoying it!
Enjoyed this tutorial thanks
bill05555 no problems!
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it

Checkout my new video on amp and pedal settings!
Great lesson, would like to see more Psychobilly lessons on your channel. ~ Cheers.

Hey mate, it should be standard tuning unless I'm out slightly (I often tune my personal guitar to different tunings and return it back by ear so it could be out of concert pitch)
I use a strymon El Capistan, with a fairly tight slap back so it doesnt get too mushy! That help?
Hey mate, these strings were elixir nano webs I reckon. Really like them! I use jazz 3 picks generally: Thanks for commenting!
Thanks bro!!!! greetings from Chile
Hey mate, thank you! From Australia!
i love it..i use this allot in my own music...simple and fun.....you sound really awesome....i just need to learn the scales and what i am actually doing...as i do it all by ear...not sure what i am playing..but its what you are showing...lol.....:)

Aww man, I just wanna hear you riff... Great tutorial, never could quite get the hang of it- cheers!
what size strings you use, and have you ever heard of tv jones...i play surf/western stuff...single coil or humbuckers?
Awesome tone and easy to follow instruction especially for an accomplished metal player who wants to learn psychobilly . Any videos on tone for psychobilly? I have a compressor with slap back running through a fender twin reverb. Any suggestions?
Hey mate, I have a tutorial!!! Look in my list and let me know what you think!
Watched the video on a psychology tone. It helped tremendously and I especially enjoyed the difference in the clean surf sounding psychobilly tone and the dirtier nekromantix/Tiger Army tone. A little off subject but what do you think of Batmobile?
+Adrian Whyte what pedal(s) are you using and what settings... love the tone and that's great echo...appreciate the response!
love your tutorial ! ! ! ! ! !
I love it. Thank you
Agreed, these tutorials are great!!
keep em up please =]
Thanks mate, I've got more vides coming!!! So stay tuned and thanks for the comments. Tell mr heywood to do some videos!
Thanks for the video, inspiring.
Hey Adrian, what kind of nut is that? Looks like you have to run the strings through it, I've never seen one like that. Great playing.
Psychobilly ain't suppose to be Smooth. Very nice. I will be praticing this tonight.
It sure ain't! Thanks for the comment!
great job. one minor pt - when using the little finger for the 3rd minor, do you palm mute and press hard with finger or use the finger as a mute ?
Hi, does your index bar the G the whole time while shifting from G to C? Is G sort of acting a bass note the whole time? Thanks. Cool lesson.
Aw man, I used to see you guys at the underage gigs at the Arthouse! Those were good old days. Great video!
Cool, checkout the vaudevillains as well in case I didn't mention that. That was my old full band
greeat vid, would lv more psychobilly tutorials, like you said at the end, there arent that many...look forward to more
Ryan S +1 to this! Please post more psychobilly tutorials.
+Jason Hegel Just so you guys know, the tab is available if you'd like to revisit it (see link in description!)
Heaps more tutorials up these days.. sorry it took so long!
Thanks man, love it!!
Cheers!
thank you very much! this is great!
Great lesson thanks. I love this sound! I have no idea who to listen too that sounds like it. Original Rockabilly yes, but who would you suggest as a good place to start with for the psychobilly vibe?
Nekromantix
Nekromantix
dont listen shit shitmantix. listen to the frogs, retarted rats, magnetix, bollox quiffs, fireball xl5, highliners, frenzy, turnpike cruisers, KING KURT!!
Not sure if I replied to this- listen to all of it! It's all relevant. I don't see how people get so up tight about it, given that the word psychobilly to my knowledge came out of the that old johnny cash song "one piece at a time"..

Lol It sounds like you might be using your camera mic to pick up the guitar and vocals try using a interface have a lavalier mic and mic up the amp then sync the audio and video later without using the camera mics audio. Anyways besides that I still dig your lessons a lot where you from? I'm recently making guitar lessons for a rockabilly teacher ill be posting some vids in a month ill send you a link tell me what you think from Santa Ana California. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man, yeah when you play the D major and hit that F#, that's does create a harmonic minor vibe against the G minor tonality, so in short - right!!
Nice video I’ll be sure to watch more just a little tip for u, the buzzing sounds are hard to listen to through headphones, I have a noise gate to stop the humming when recording guitar u should try one out.
Thanks man! This video is from many many years ago, I think my later videos are probably a little better sound wise over all, check out my channel and see what you think!
Great video. I'm a guitar noob. This helps tons
Good to hear! Have fun with it man :)
Thanks sir!
The Harley Riding the beast.
Good stuff.
Morris Ashby thank you!
Great lesson man, thanks :)
What reverb effect are you using to get that slap back like that? Or is it a delay? And a overdrive I guess it is?
Graveyard Bats i use a strymon el Capistan, and there’s a little bit of natural drive from the amp, which is a budda SuperDrive 30 watt, el84 based tube amp! Hope that helps!
Adrian Whyte sounds really great!
Thats a beautiful Gretsch.
i wish i could jam on my upright with you! come to Los Angeles!!
yo !! good job, many thanks.
Dude, you’re radical!!!
Sorry I never saw this!!
Sure does, thanks!
No worries!
Good stuff brochacho
Thanks Dude!
Adrian, GREAT lesson! Man, YOU could sure use a StringRay!
Haha yeah I remember the days when I was first working it out!
What strings and picks you use bro? Great vids love your style! I'm really into the jazz/rockabilly/hillbilly thing.
Another incredibly helpful tutorial. Thanks for this! You must bring back the side whiskers! You look 10 years younger and at least 73% kookier. 😀
Ha! I was 10 years younger though - mind you I think I’ve become 10 years kookier since!
Very decent! Thanks.
jeff adams thank you Jeff!
By the way, Cozy and myself are joining your Patreon as soon as we can. Unfortunately, at the moment, I am so broke that I am literally learning to play & sing the blues. 😂
No stress at all! Let me know if you need some tabs :)
Adrian ... which pedals do you use to get this lovely rockabilly sound
allan steen iverssøn hey! I used a strymon el Capistan straight into a budda super 30 (original American made one) into a mesa lonestsar cab 4x10. Any good slap back through a clean amp will sound good!
Hey mate, I’ve since made a few tutorials on this and I have a Patreon with regular uploads and tutorials (see the link for this video and check out my other TH-cam videos recently uploaded to my channel!)
Great video,what’s your opinion on the Rev Horton guitar?
Sean Wakeling it’s cool! Good guitar. Personally I’d just go for the 6120 with trestle bracing and tv Jones, and make it your own signature model! ;)
Adrian Whyte Thank you Adrian,your videos and playing are awesome
Sean Wakeling thank you Sean!
You want feedback, eh? You've already got enough of it coming from the 60 cycle hum of your DeArmonds! All kidding aside, great video.
Lol Good one! Thanks for watching mate, hope you got something out of it!
Awesome tone indeed! What pup's are in your 6120?
Dynasonics :)
how should i tune my guitar to get this psychobily sound?
Cheers man!
What kind of amp do you use/ and what are your settings set at?
Hey mate, im using a Budda SuperDrive I think! That's my main amp, and I was most likely using that on the day- settings, couldn't tell you .. I don't think about it too much.

Not sure who your audience is for this tutorial - it's a very advanced piece, but you're explaining things as basic as what a Gm chord is?
seanylewl if you continue watching you’ll see that it’s about the concept of the three chords, not so much the intricate bit at the start!
@@AdrianWhyte I just mean that at the start of the video you're explaining how to fret a Gm chord, then at the end of the video you're talking about how to interweave the harmonic minor scale into your playing in order to add the right character to your melodies.

How did you get this tone
With this kind of guitar clean through something with el84s, something like a vox or fender bullies junior perhaps. This was through a Budda SuperDrive 30 which is a bit like the amps I mention above
what is a good gauge string for this style?
