Thanks! Try and just do it naturally. Reveal stuff some players won’t know without going too fast but not labour it too much incase a player knows what I’m on about!! 🎯🎼🎯
Great instruction. Love all the little added bits that fill out the song. You are a great teacher and all done with a Northern accent gives it a special touch. Thank you.
Make sure you’re always learning a new song. Even a little everyday. Could be any song. Any licks. Any genre. Easy or hard. Doesn’t matter! You’ll never be in a rut again!!
Hello, I just added myself to your mailing list after the very recent Dobro competition. I have not finished this video yet, but I look forward to it! I wish I could convince my wonderful wife of nearly 40 years that a resonator is not "another guitar", as she reminds me I need not another. I am hoping to purchase my first resonator in the near future. Champaign wishes and a beer budget as I no longer work, but I have plenty of time for my guitars. Probably a folly,but I have played guitars over 50 years now. I thank you for the services and joy that you provide!
A loving and supporting wife would be happy for you to have a different sounding guitar that brings a different sound! Get a good used one and you can say it will always get its money back so was free to use! 3-500 will get something perfectly decent. 🎯🎼🎯
@TheWashboardResonators I appreciate the advice. I will try to look in this direction. At this time there could be plenty available. My concern is not holding or listening to the instrument first. Though the three you played in the comparison all had great and unique tones. Please excuse any misspellings, my eyes are not what they once were.
Thankyou for sharing your tips Martin. The L1 and the Kalamazoo have quite different sounds. I like them both. I've read somewhere that RJ mostly used Kalamazoos and Stellas. Budget guitars at the time. I don't think he had a lot of money.
I think he did pretty good financially going about his life as a pro musician and did so especially when he recorded and got paid the equivalent of about $7000 in cash (2023 money) at the end of each week of recording. The L-1 in used condition would have been affordable to him. His step sister in her book says he had a white suit, white snakeskin boots and white hat for best. All those bar gigs and wedding gigs he did would add up. I think it was typical that the Stella & Kalamazoo which were (in 2023 money) around $300-400 new were bought expecting to be stolen or damaged and weren’t too expensive to worry too much about. My guess is if they got 6 months out of a guitar when hoping trains, travelling by bus or staying in dodgy guesthouses they’d feel like they more than had their moneys worth. Like now. If you were doing 5 gigs a week in rough bars you might go get a cheaper Mexican strat or used guitar or similar so if you did get robbed it wouldn’t be too much hardship to replace but would be good enough to get the job done.
I must return and thank you emmensly for this video! I know what I will work on the coming days. I appreciate how you think and teach. I have about half of this down, as I often play key of E blues. Now I can polish and embellish what I do. Many sincere thanks. I have a Martin CEO 7 which looks so very similar to the L 00,but I am certain 😂each of these are amazing. Thanks again.
God evening M., Johnson..great lesson! thankyou!
Hope it helps and makes sense outgrow song and how to expand it!!

Those Martin CEO guitars are excellent!! Glad the lesson helps. It’s a killer tune with great details.
Hey, can I do this on my regular guitar? Somebody said I shouldn't even try to my breakstrings Sor mess up the nut or something
Not sure what any of this means. It’s fine to play on any regular tuned guitar. 🎼🎯🎼
Awesome great touch and tone. What strings, and gauge you use on the first guitar you used in this lesson? Peace.
Daddario PB 11s on the L-1. Whatever the KG-14 had when I bought it!! Thanks!!
