Awesome Lesson, finally someone gives the credit to James. Chris is always awesome but the vibe that James has is unmatched. RIP James.

[@Damianblf]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching :)

[@mstack1949]

I've been meandering around YT for "Wicked Game" tutorials and watched/listened to many. Your's is indeed impressive playing and singing. The outro pearls of wisdom is something we all need to embrace. Thanks!

Thank you Rocco :)

[@davidsmith-hb1jx]

Damian. When I bought a big Dean Palomino hollow body guitar last year I knew I'd be studying your videos. I can't play worth a damn, but I'm getting better. My thoughts are with you as you deal with your issue. You are loved and respected here. Thank you again.

[@Damianblf]

Hi David. Thank you very much for watching the videos. I really appreciate it. :)

Fantastic rendition of a classic. Hope all is well with you, Damien. Here's to your health!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much George :)

[@Walks-With-Pride]

A fantastic video! Thanks for the history lesson. I am probably the greatest Chris Isaak fan on the planet. I know nearly all of his songs, and play them daily. For me, it's hard to imagine a world without Chris Isaak music.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@lafreeway]

I feel the same. I even enjoy watching videos of Chris and Kenny being interview where they tease and joke with cute reporters. Chris has that little twinkle in his eye. Damian really nailed this guitar part.

[@bradpittiful7288]

Mesmerizing performance . Thanks for the encouragement !

[@scotttrezak674]

Damian - I feel your pain emotionally and physically. I have been suffering from bad rheumatoid arthritis for years. Recently, my hands were so badly swollen and in pain, that I couldn't play at all. I found in those trying times that just picking up my telecaster and holding it made me feel better.
My best wishes to you and, please Keep up your positive attitude. It is the most powerful weapon you have.

[@Damianblf]

We all have our good and bad days for sure. But you're correct. Having a overall positive outlook on things certainly makes the toughest of days more manageable. Keep on rockin' my friend. :)

[@clivethomas2039]

Learnt to play this a while ago, it's got such a beautiful groove. And then you come along with that gorgeous Gretsch and a tuneful melodic voice that fits the song perfectly. So for once not here for the lesson, just here to listen and appreciate, what a great job.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much. :)

[@johnsee7269]

Reminiscent of the cool wall that I pass through when I hear a song like Ghost Riders in the Sky. Back when reverb and tremolo were all you needed. Brilliant, flawless execution. How I'd describe it... The song and basic effects; ahhhhhhhhhh...

[@Damianblf]

Indeed definitely brilliant guitar work. :)
