Darrel Higham - Rockabilly Guitar

Hi and welcome to my channel here on YouTube. Please check out my Patreon page at   / darrelhighammusic   and my website for albums and gig news - https://www.darrelhigham.com This was supposed to be a follow-up to the Rollin' & Tumblin' solo, but I sort of rambled on and ended up playing loads of my favourite rockin' solo's!! Its terrible editing and I talk a load of nonsense but I feel its a broad look at Rockabilly playing in general and have decided to upload it here to see if it helps any of you out that have stumbled upon this with a new interest in the music. Or even if you know the music well but get stuck on a few things every now and then. This video might help out, or it might not. But I haven't done much of this sort of thing before and so I'm making it up as I go along! The songs played - in no particular order, in keeping with the general vibe of the video - are as follows; SWEET LOVE ON MY MIND - A brief look at Grady Martin from his work with the great Johnny Burnette & The Rock 'n' Roll Trio. GOOFIN' AROUND - Frannie Beecher's magnificent playing with Bill Haley on this wonderful instrumental. BIG SANDY - By Bobby Roberts. I've no idea who played lead guitar on this, but I'd love to shake his hand if he's still around. TEENAGE BOOGIE - The Webb Pierce track, much loved by all who've heard it. A sort of absent-minded version here, but you'll get the jist of it... ROCKIN' & FLYIN' - A little bit of the solo Eddie Cochran plays in an out-take that hasn't been released yet but I've got on a CD that has all the known takes of it. BLUE JEAN BOP - A token effort at some Cliff Gallup. HOT DOG - A great solo from Shakin' Stevens first big hit from 1979. I know not who played this, either, but he's brilliant. So there you go. Hope its of some help. Cheers, Darrel Higham
