How To Learn Rockabilly Guitar - Full 30min Lesson Movie. Rockabilly Guitar Licks. Cliff Gallup Tabs / Be Bop A Lula. Be Bop A Lula Key: E Recorded May 4th, 1956 at Owen Bradley's studio (Bradley's Barn) Nashville, TN. Elec. Ld. Guitar: Cliff Gallup Drums: Dickie Harrell Stand up Bass: Jack Neal Acoustic Rhythm guitar: Willie Williams This song was the second song ever recorded by the original '56 Blue Caps. This deceptively slow-paced song has some quintessential guitar work from Cliff. The most earth-shattering thing about Be Bop A Lula is Dickie Harrell's decision to use brushes on a Rock 'n' Roll song? Dramatic!

Other songs recorded at this particular session were: Race With the Devil; Woman Love; and I Sure Miss You Special thanks to Guitar-Pro. Cliff Gallup Tabs / Race with the Devil.

Guitar: Cliff Gallup Drums: Dickie Harrell Stand up Bass: Jack Neal Acoustic Rhythm guitar: Willie Williams This was the first song recorded by Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps during their first recording session. Other songs recorded at that session were: Be Bop A Lula, Woman Love, and I Sure Miss You. Race With The Devil is noteworthy from several standpoints. We thought this solo can and should be used as one of the classic primers for any guitarist who is interested learning to play rockabilly style guitar. Special thanks to Guitar-Pro. A Practical Guide to Modes and Scales. Q: What are modes and how do they work? A: I get this question a lot, but have only touched on it in past columns, as it relates to other questions.

Here’s a straightforward guide to modes and scales to follow. Modes are a very simple concept but can take some time to really understand and get under your fingers in a way that gets you playing around with them with any authority. Basically, all a mode is is a scale. For example, you probably already know the C Major scale, which is: If you choose a different starting note (other than the C), and progress through the scale normally from there, you’ll be playing a different “mode”.

That’s known as the Dorian Mode. The real key is learning the names of the associated modes and then internalizing the patterns and sounds of those modes. The Major Modes: Notice that the 6th mode (Aeolian) is also a regular minor scale. If you’ve ever heard anyone mention the “relative minor” or “relative Major” scale, this is what they’re talking about.
