Post Description

Dating back to the early 50s, Rockabilly blended country, hillbilly, jump blues and western swing to form one of the earliest styles of rock music. Rockabilly launched the careers of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly with its raunchy blues riffs, uptown Western swing licks, and foot-tapping boogie patterns, all of which you’ll get plenty of here in this Rock, Billy & Boogie Guidebook from Walter Broes. Band leader, singer/songwriter and guitarist in the Belgium’s most popular roots rock band, The Seatsniffers, Walter recorded seven albums and toured all over Europe for 15+ years with the band. A self-professed guitar geek, Walter has a deep love for American Roots music styles and is a passionate educator. We’re thrilled to welcome Walter to the family with his first TrueFire course.

”We're going to take an in depth look at some of my favorite guitar players from the 50's who shaped this exciting style, including my all-time favorite Grady Martin. We'll also stray off the beaten path a little and dig into some lesser famous studio pickers, like Scotty Moore, who turned country thumbpicking into exciting rock and roll riffs.”

Walter organized the course into two sections. In the first section, you’ll work through the key concepts and techniques that are requisite Rockabilly skills: Travis Picking: History, Travis Picking: Use, Travis Picking: Technique, Chords, Lead Playing, Echo: History and Echo: Use

In the second section, you’ll put all of the key concepts and techniques to work as you play your way through 16 Performance Studies designed to give you a versatile Rockabilly vocabulary inspired by many of the greatest Rockabilly guitarists in history.

Walter demonstrates all of the Performance Studies over rhythm tracks and then breaks them down by stepping you through the key concepts, techniques and creative approaches that he used in each study.
