Jesse18th November 2008Ojoo! first time I see the new player!
Vurpa18th November 2008Am I the only one that have problems with the new player? I'm sure that this lesson was a killer but for me it's just lagging so I can't enjoy it.
Ivan Milenkovic18th November 2008I think soon this lesson will have no problems with playback, as I'm trying to make a smaller bitrate for everyone to see. Sorry for the big lesson guys, and have patience a day or two, the lesson will be viewable. Thanks.

skennington19th November 2008Great solo man! Now that's what Hillbilly rock is ![]()
kivler19th November 2008nice twangy sound . what kind of bridge pup are you using? It looks like a minature humbucker
Great solo Ivan. Really cool ![]()
Ivan Milenkovic19th November 2008Thanks a lot guys. ![]()
@kivler
It's a Seymor Duncan lil'59 for the bridge. I staggered the pole pieces similar to single coils, and used a twangy preset in Gearbox.
Probably a great lesson and of interest to me but I'm not too impressed with this new player. All that I have tried are very stuttered even after the whole video is played through once. Very hard to tell whats going on.
Any way to make these downloadable so they could be played locally instead of being streamed?
Ivan Milenkovic19th November 2008What is your PC configuration mate?
David Wallimann19th November 2008Very catchy lead Ivan and great sound as well!
Great job man. :-)

Awesome rockabilly lesson! Do you have any advice for smoothly switching between major and minor pentatonic scales?
Ivan Milenkovic17th August 2009Thanks my friend ![]()
The best advice I can give you is to learn both scales well, and do them in boxes, one box on top of the other. I can recommend this lesson, it's not rockabilly it's blues, but it is about mixing the patterns and tips to do it properly. I'm currently doing part 2 where we will cover the major and minor scale boxes 2.
If you need any additional help PM me, and I will gladly help of course. Cheers ![]()




Want to combine major and minor pentatonics with blues scale, and create some nice rockabilly, country and blues licks? Hop in, and let's learn a small solo with licks that you can use in any of these types of music with ease.
Hi guys, welcome to my first high resolution lesson here on GMC. This time we are going to do something happy and that is rockabilly style playing :)
Progression can vary, but you can use rock and roll type of progression, involving I, IV, V chords, and add some more in breaks or bridges. Everything is allowed basically, as long it is happy and groovy :)
With rockabilly style playing you can mix several different styles to create this groovy form of music! Blues, jazz and country licks are often used as a part of rockabilly soloing.To keep things simple, you can use C major pentatonics for country licks, anc C minor pentatonic fro bluesy licks. This is some form of generalized rule when it comes to playing these sorts of things, and I will try to show you how to use these different scales when playing this style.
As far as technique goes, bending, alternate, economy picking are good thing to use. Hybrid picking and fingerpicking as well is used a lot in rockabilly, but since fingerpicking is a bit specific technique, I will leave it for another series. For now we will do some classic hybrid picking licks that you can use in various situations.
Have fun with the lesson! :)
