    Man I called off work sick today .. been a crappy couple weeks. Haven't read a tab in ages mostly just pick my own improv blues and bluegrass all the time.. watching this and learning these licks turned my morning around. Thanks sir.

    Finally a teacher who pointed out that he was once a student too and speed was not in his 'system' first! Great lesson.
  • New to bluegrass…..always been a blues player. Some really good content in there for us newbs. I never realized I always did pull offs down, and never up. Great stuff my friend.

    been playin for 35 yrs just started with bluegrass awesome video
  • Now that tharn is some mighty fine pickin there boa! 🤠👍🤣 Thank you so much for your willingness to share your skills. I am a 62 year old guitar player and have never learned tablature. I always thought it was for the pro guitar player. Today you showed me how sinple it is. Grant it, it will take time to perfect the sound and timing. But now, you have taken this guitar player and placed him on anorher level of learning and self teaching. A track to run on.

    Awesome tutorial. Especially like the "plug and play" licks method. Breaking down the individual "go to" licks of great BG pickers, makes it much easier to understand and a less daunting task to get up to their speed (or close) on your own. Thanks.
  • @Sam-nk6hk
    Thanks, man. You're a great teacher, and these licks are super cool. I'm already enjoying playing them, and I'll bet they'll really help me add some B.G. tastiness to my performance.

    Thank you so much, great licks and you are a great player. My wife and I spent 5 weeks in Georgia before this pandemic and I played so much Bluegrass and Country music, we loved it and this helps me in learning more and more on the guitar.

    In my quest to master music theory, it's refreshing to learn some really nice licks from a good teacher. Thank you.
  • @67markross
    Wow, this is super cool! I've been searching for some good bluegrass instructions for guitar!
  • @jordanhook1613
    Really good stuff dude. I've played for years and got stagnant lately, especially with my speed. I never took lessons, so no one taught me things like the alternate picking that make so much of a difference. It's really hard unlearning bad habits but so good to be progressing again! Def something to be said for learning things the right way first time around. Thanks for covering all the little things, these lessons/tabs are great.
  • @natelloyd6312
    Awesome licks man! I watched through and learned a couple pretty quickly! Another good way to increase the speed as well is to implement a “chicken pickin” technique for a country style sound! Ton of fun to play!

    Bought several guitars this year including a Martin D-41. However, Andrew White gave me a deal on his Freja 103J, Jatoba wood. That is what I practice Devin's licks on most often.

    I just happened upon your channel and this video. I checked out the rest and this is exactly what I was looking for. I can learn more here than with most other lessons. I’m subscribed and eager! Thank you for doing this 😊
  • Great guitarist, awesome teacher! Many thanks, much respect, and best wishes from 🇬🇧👍🎸
