Musical Math. Great term. Music has been defined as the relationship between time and frequency, so musical math is literally what it is. Players/artists working that relationship make music, whether punk rock, rockabilly, or classical music...anything between. It's great that you pointed it out. Well done, and great series. I'm an old retired bass player who was paid to play for fifty years, picking up guitar (and other instrument) pointers in many styles of music to simply expand my vocabulary. Rockabilly is one genre that has always interested me although I didn't play it. I literally yesterday bought a Gretsch 2420T as inspiration for jazz voicing and rockabilly. Thanks for your videos/short tutorials. Well done.
Great Tom!!! I am 71 y.o. and i am learning guitar from two months about, i love blues and rockabilly. Thank you for your very clear explanation. Great teacher. 👍🤗
I'm 61...and all I can say...is THANKYOU!!! You're making me a better player with every video of yours I watch....and I've been playing since I'm 15... You're 1 of the best teachers out there !!!
As a pro player of 30 yrs, I usually watch these vids for entertainment value. I have to say, not only did I enjoy the video, but your playing is excellent and your advice is sound. Keep on rocking. Great job!
Just Reviewed Hot Rockabilly Guitar Lessons 1 thru 4: Copied all the Tablature this time. Awesome playing & Instruction. Any of the Rockabilly Licks from the Early "Sun Record" Era will be appreciated. Keep "Rockabilly" alive !! Thank You !!!
Thanks so much for putting these lessons out, Tom. I have a blues and metal background on guitar and switched to bass for the last few years out of necessity. Just now getting back into guitar and have a rockabilly itch that was never there before. Blues helps, but these lessons really put the finishing touch on this new leaf I've turned.
Your Rockabilly lessons are awesome! There are so many instructional videos where you have to sit through several minutes of what amounts to ads for the person's media, but you skip all of that and cut right to the delicious blueberry pie dessert! Can't wait for more.
I’m 63! Always loved rockabilly (Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Setzer, Robert Gordon, Dave Edmonds/Rockpile) but never explored playing it on guitar for some odd reason. Lately, I’ve been listening to Brian Setzer and dabbling on my Gretsch 6122 Country Gent that hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately. It’s a great instrument and I should play it more often. Your videos have inspired me to work on my rockabilly chops. Also, got inspired to add another Gretsch to my stable, the 6120GTFM Brian Setzer Nashville I got from StreetsoundsNYC. Arriving Tuesday and can’t wait to trying it. Keep the videos coming. You are an excellent teacher and I find your channel both informative and entertaining.
Wow That’s a real surprise to see my comment lol Thank you sooo much. I’m just starting to practice and I bought 2 Gretsch (G5420T silver sparkle and G5422TDC walnut.) and 1 D’angelico acoustic. Now shopping for a fender amp. I like learning rockabilly
Tom you make an awful lot of sense, I think I had one of those penny dropping moments. Thank you so much you have inspired me during a time that I’ve lost a lot of inspiration. Thank you Greg
Your lessons are fantastic real gone daddyo keep rocking am try to find the tab that used in vid 3 jus found basic scale as type used on such record ice cold . Long blonde hair An flying saucer .. thanks again bud
Great Lesson and series Tom! You lesson #1 comments on how to get "that rockabilly sound" are priceless and this lesson works well for rockabilly, but could be applied to any genre.
HI Tom, I rewatched your video today so i was impressed with your great ideas...and I got the explanation on licks over chords (i was thinking about scale position and not chords, so your explanation was actually clear...) Thanks again for making my playing improving
This series is amazing! I've been a mainly rock guitarist for 30 years shredding away. This series is an eye opener and Tom is a great tutor who's inspired me to get out of a guitar rut! Love it.
Tom, I'm enjoying your videos and how you give practical advice that can be used immediately. I've played for decades and my left hand is pretty good, probably above average. But my right hand kinda sucks. I've tried different picks and hand positions. My first teacher told me to "anchor' my little finger on the pickguard, but I noticed you don't do that. Maybe you've covered this in another video, but could you discuss right-hand techniques?
Thank you Chris! That is the second request I've had for right hand techniques. I now have it on the list for future videos! Thank you for your support!
One of the best tutorials on here Tom. I’m not a rockabilly player although I love Setzer and have dabbled playing a few tunes by The Cramps if they even fall into that category. It’s just solid, good advice. Rock on buddy!
Great video again and nicely covered my comment from video number 3. Thanks again. And wow the feedback at the end of this from previous comments is a great idea.
Excellent Lesson !!! This was my first viewing and I subscribed: Now I'll watch your first 3 Hot Rockabilly Lessons to see what I've missed. Presently playing a 1992 Gretsch G7594T White Falcon thru a TC Electronics Flashback X4 & SolidGoldFX SurfRider3 into a 1992 Peavey EVH Stack. Switched the setting on the Flashback X4 too Space Echo, from Slapback, after listening to your settings. All other knobs at the 10 O'Clock position. Really like your display of the Tablature on screen and the explanations,, Thanks !!!
Tom, I really think you are on to something here. Your Rockabilly lessons are outrageously good! I like the fact that you use straight talk instead of a lot of complicated music theory and esoteric bullshit, that for me would be boring and way over my head. Your lessons are easy to follow which keeps me interested in learning more. It's time to practice now. I'll catch you again later. Stay strong, my brother!
Wow, another fantastic and beautifully structured tutorial. Big respect for keeping my attention and motivation for a complete tutorial after a full working day. Big Thanx from Bielefeld, Germany.
Holy CATS! This is as gold as the Guild Manhattan Special rockabilly machine I just picked up! Can't believe I'm seeing this for the first time, but that's what happens when you search rockabilly gear - thanks Algorithm 😀 and THANKS Tom you kickstarted a solid year of practice right here!
Tom !! Thanks for doing another lesson. Excellent method with tabs plus slow examples then at regular tempo. So helpful. Somehow you even make the darn scales sound good 👍.
Nicely done Tom. Breaking it all down to it's simplest parts, then putting each part back together is how I've done it all these years myself. Many thanks!
I think it's something that experienced players do intuitively but some less experienced players don't get at first, so I thought I'd try to put it in organized form. It's a helpful way of thinking. Thank you for your support friend!
Thanks for another great lesson. This one will definitely help me get to the next level (currently stuck at playing covers alone.) The part at the end is so true about different amp, guitar, and style. I've found bought too much gear over the years that sounded perfect on youtube but not once it was in my home. If you're going to buy new gear being your old gear to try it out with!
@@tommein - No, thank you Tom! I’ve never really simplified the concept like that, it makes so much sense now that you have said it, glad it got stated out loud by you my friend! I was doing some of that before, but now that I hear it out loud, I can do so much better! Be well! I’ll be looking for a way that makes sense for me (probably through Patreon - when does that go live?) to send a little support your way, I appreciate you!
Great lessons, Tom! The pacing and level is just right for me. I've loved the sound since seeing the Cramps and the Rev back in the 90's... finally getting around to learning it and your lessons are awesome. Keep 'em up and I'll keep watching and practicing!
Really appreciate these lessons and your approach - fun and cool stuff! I'm not really a rockabilly player but Iove finding new ideas and techniques for my musical vocabulary. Thanks and looking forward to more!
This lesson is gold dust. Love your method, both logical and efficient. And a fabulous tone. My only question is, What is the name of Tailor? The drape is incredibly cool man.
I look forward to all your videos. You are an excellent instructor. My question is this. Does your Fender Blues deluxe have a low wattage setting so as to be able to use it as a bed room practice amp. Thank you in advance Tom.
No it doesn't, and they are loud amps that area notorious for going from 1 to really loud at 2. I have this cool box - an Omnisonic Volume box - that I put in the effects loop. It allows you to get the sound of cranked tubes but at a low volume. Check them out!

Thankyou Gary!
Very informative lesson breakdown, easy to follow tab and playing examples thanks for sharing this Tom
Thank you for watching Tony!
excellent stuff Tom...one thing though I dont understand, when you show a lick "fit to 10 th D", i dont get it...but thanks for the great lesson
Thanks so much, Mr. Mein. Great videos.
Your lessons are calm, collected and easy learning. Channing is my new focus.
Thanks Johnny!
Man, some great ideas here. Thanks Tom
Love the division of that 5 note lick. Made me think of all the possibilities of other licks
Thanks Matthew! Sometimes little ideas like that yield big results!
I agree, I have spent quite a few hours modifying it the licks and got some interesting results,and some rubbish as well.
Another superb video can’t wait to try and learn it
Hope you enjoy it!
It's fantastic to listen and to see how you play all these rockabilly guitar licks! Tom, you are absolutely my preferred guitar teacher!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Maurizio!
Yeah man. Nice lesson. Looking forward to #5.
Great stuff ! Thanks Tom

Fantastic advice, thank you very much for sharing this Tom! I enjoyed playing along with the examples.
