What a wealth of knowledge these legends are sharing. Words to the wise... pay attention. The part about overplaying and not listening to the other musicians is priceless. Stop noodling people and play for the song
Excellent - had a piano teacher who as a young man went on erllla gig with an experienced saxophone player . At the end of a song the saxophone player turns to the piano player and says , "look , when I'm playing , you don't play . whenever I don't play , then you can see play 😀
The remarks about people overplaying, and not leaving sufficient 'space' in particular passages is rarely spoken about, and hugely important. The ability to listen to what's going on around you, is something that is lacking in a lot of musicians. It should be developed in the same way one develops one's use of chords, right-hand technique, timing or anything else. It takes time to learn like everything else....but what doesn't?
Marc, Thank you for your comments. I hope you enjoy my "Western Swing RULES" series. This subject is one that is mostly overlooked and is only learned through years of experience. Check out Western Swing RULES #31 featuring our friends, The Hot Club of Cowtown who address this same subject in a trio setting.- R.H.
@@roberthuston331 I just subscribed, I play guitar sing, love swing, play mostly blues and pop. I was gifted a lap steel years ago and ran across the lap steel tips. At the moment I am trying to retune from D to C6 to play along with Eddie Rivers. Nothing popped yet. I am in Syracue NY. We are still locked down so the time is good. I am a true begginer - love Asleep at the Wheel.
j zell Wow, that’s fantastic. I hope Eddie’s segments are helpful. Yesterday I posted two questions to our Western Swing RULES subscribers. Please check them out and reply. I considering a workshop but I’m not sure how it would be received and/or attended. Thanks
Mr. Producer, haven’t you caught on yet? Redesign your page. Your printed ads and logo block the performers. We, as students, want to see the performers hands. Fix it, or I will not tune in to this channel anymore. Too bad. These old farts have something to say. “Dr.” Doctor of what?
Thomas Pick Thank you Thomas for your comments. We appreciate you and hope you have benefited from all the segments we have produced at enormous expense for absolutely nothing in return financially. If you feel you have found value in this series and would like to contribute to ensure this can continue, you can make a donation via PayPal on our homepage. Once done, we will consider altering our future segments.
Let me you people these two boys have just hit the nail on the head. All you guys that just can't stop playing on top of the vocalist or butting in on another lead instrument are strictly and will always be GD amatures. If you ever want to join the pro's stop this shit pronto. Just take your hands off the intrument or just listen with your ears and you'll get the idea. STOP BEING AMATURES.

Thank you for a very informative lesson on western swing music.
Two wonderful gentlemen
I immediately recognized Dr Moore from the gatherings at Sequoyah State Lodge in Hulbert, OK. Hope to see & hear you again Aug. 10 2023.
You are correct. That is where we filmed many, many Western Swing RULES segments!!!- R.H.

These gentlemen sure know their stuff, as both their words -- and, more importantly, their playing attests!
Trombonology Erstwhile hey it's great to hear from you. Thank you for your insights.

Wow!!! Found a new favorite channel!
These gentlemen play by the rules! A studio musician or sideman plays FOR somebody, not for themselves. The music belongs to the writer!
Nice! How bout my Old guitar teacher Jimmy Wyble?
