50 Rockabilly Guitar Licks You Must Know

I purchased a Brian Setzer DVD, hoping he would break down some licks from different songs, but he just did an improvised session, off the cuff, without too much instruction. I loved hearing him play, but I couldn't touch it. Not so with Jason Loughlin's 50 Rockabilly licks. He selects licks from a wide range of sources, showing, for a young guy, a great awareness of the originating Rockabilly greats. He's picked out some licks that are rudimentary, which is always a good way to start, and progresses to some great boogie, swing licks that are really little exercises to instantly improve your repertoire. I'm 61 years old and still trying to master my favorite style of guitar music. This DVD helps.

the vendor/ book seller was great,.. the DVD is a challenge to access as you have to set up an account and register the program.. seems as if the Truefire site needed to access the learning info will work MUCH better when ordering thru Truefire instead of a 3 party seller.. have not had much success using the package but will try again as I get time to 'work thru the issues'..

A little tricky getting the on-line content but the folks on the phone were patient and helpful. Good collection of licks. Made me want more content but it's a good start for what I wanted. Worth every penny.

Very useful licks for rock, blues, and country guitarists. I actually took away some Johnny Winter and SRV ideas from this DVD. The licks are painstakingly broken down and executed at a slow pace. The explanations require you to be a bit conversant in music theory and know the notes on the fretboard; but the demonstrations are so good that an advanced beginner without theory should be able to get the riffs under their fingers. This is the best of the "50 Licks" series and I have several of the DVDs. A must-have for any guitarist's instructional library.

I am an experienced guitar player and I have many instructional books and DVDs in my collection. This is by far one of the best you can get. There are limited resources for learning rockabilly guitar which is a difficult style to master. This DVD is best for intermediate players, but beginners can also benefit from it. It provides you with a link to get the tabs, backing tracks and information about the player whose style each lick is based on.

As soon as instructor Jason Loughlin gets started, you know you are seeing and hearing authentic, funky rockabilly guitar just as it was played by the masters back in the Fifties. Download notation in tab from proprietary internet site. Good indexing so you can easily repeat a lick till you get it. Makes me want to get out my Tele right now. Travis picking, double stops, bending, major and minor shuffles, chord substitutions, and plenty more. Glad I bought it.

Very good, thou would have preferred him not to have given a commentary before each as would have been quickerTo back track to start of chapter. Regards mr Cunningham.

Jason makes Rockabilly so much easier w/out getting one bogged down in theories and his teaching technique is very straight-forward/understandable. I love the tech support I got not long after having rec'd the dvd. The tech person was able to help me print the 50 lessons in no time leading to instant application of Jason's methods.

Short riffs, some are quite interesting. It may be good for beginners except that beginners might now know how to relate the riffs in context.
