April 15th 2011 Doug writes...

On April 7th 2011, my wife (Jennifer) and I was told that our baby (at 12 weeks) no longer had a heartbeat and that we were having a miscarriage. To say that we are devastated and overcome by this would be an understatement.

We had to tell our 4 year old boy (Austin) that the baby he had talked to and told stories to was in heaven and not going to be here with us.

"In response to loss, tragedy or injustice of any kind, there's always a hidden opportunity."

The questions that stare you in the face could be, WHAT NOW? Who do I BLAME!?! Who do I FORGIVE? How can I make this pain GO AWAY? How can I STOP this from happening to someone else? You may have different answers, but I know what mine are.

"The measure of sorrow should match the measure of response"

We want YOU to join with us to honor our baby's LIFE and help save other mommy's and daddy's from
experiencing the devastation of losing a precious child. ~Doug and Jennifer

Mornin'!

This NEW Dvd is FLYING off the shelf already! It's called 'The 5 Golden Ingredients To Mastering Country Guitar Rhythm'

This Video Course Teaches You Solid Right Hand Techniques, Double Stops, Hot Fills and Rhythm Transitions, colorful substitution chords and most importantly, HOW, when and when NOT to use certain techniques!

One of the MOST common questions I am asked is about HOT country guitar rhythm. It's not something you see a lot of guitarist talking about or teaching, but it happens to be the most important area of your guitar playing.

Whether you're in a band full time, on the weekends or maybe you're a studio musician. No matter where you play or who you play in front of, rhythm playing is something WE ALL have to have a good understanding of this vital area of our playing...

I decided to go ahead and POUR OUT my VERY BEST on this video package. We will not only learn the mental techniques that are essential to playing but the HANDS ON physical methods and EVERYTHING you need to know to be the WELL-ROUNDED musician you want to be!

This is an intense Video Course - The FORMULA of country/Blues/southern Rock Rhythm 15 Pages FULL Tabs and Standard Notation - Easy To Follow System - LIVE Backing Tracks - REAL-TIME Targeted Practice Sessions - Close-Up Cameras on Both Hands

Brad Paisley Simple Guitar Technique Doug Seven

2011-01-01T17:04:00.001-05:00

Today's video is a simple demonstration of 1 SIMPLE Guitar Technique that Brad Paisley uses a LOT...

This will easily double or even TRIPLE your speed and execution when working and improving your FAST and clean approach...

Before you watch the video, please take a moment and skim through some of the emails I've been getting since the release of this NEW DVD "Habitual Techniques - The Secret Methods of Guitarists like Brad Paisley"!

This is GREAT!

_________________________________________________

Hey Doug,

The dvd was so nicely done, a true inspiration. I had been dabbling in this style for a couple of years... More for rock and bluegrassy playing. He uses lots of open string ideas. Bluegrassy meaning, it gives the illusion of speed to country style licks.

Your dvd is an excellent guide for me. Kind of opened a bigger door for much more expansive ideas... Such as combining two scales plus open strings, "the three for one special".

Thank you for keeping the pickin' fun and interesting.
best wishes,
da-no

Doug, This DVD has been a God send.

I’ve been doing each exercise until my fingers can’t go anymore… Then I rest and do it all again. I’ve always wanted to include open strings in my playing and I’ve been playing a long time. Like you said, it doesn’t sound like it belongs when played slow and that’s why I haven’t been able to figure it out before. I believed that it should be correct in theory.But, now I know that when it’s played fast it sounds great. So, this is the secret that has kept me from getting it in the past and for that I thank you so very much.

Sometimes you just need to be shown that it works and the exercises are fantastic.

This is put together so very well and I like that you explained it all in the first video… Then got into the meat of it in the second part and then putting it all together in the 3rd.

Your CD ‘Seven’ is awesome!
Don

Doug - I've only gotten through part of the material. Awesome as always;

You have a great gift for explaining playing concepts in a way that even us old dogs can understand.

Keep 'em coming!

Best Christmas Wishes to you & family;
Sandy C.

Hi, Doug.
The video is great, and it will for sure change my playing. I have not had enough time to dig properly into it, but I’m practicing the first 8 licks regularly now.

I have to add that of all videos and books I have used over the years, nothing compares to your videos.

They are very inspiring, and your laid-back style when presenting your stuff makes me think that “I can do this!”.

Thank you and a merry x-mas for you and your family.
Best regards,
Jan

Doug, Man it's really rough to find a way to say you can do more (I've got enough stuff here to work on for the next 10 years)

This video is over the top. Just a great job. You're in Brad's hip pocket, you've nailed his runs and technique.

We saw your pedals and amps (the Wampler Brad Paisley will stay on my board), man I'm tellin ya -you've got one monster tone.

Again, Doug thank you for all you've done and may next year bring you more success.

Merry Christmas
Bob B.

Doug
I just sat down this week with the dvds and have been studying the first four licks. Never a concern here, These latest ones will teach some extreme form and finger techniques.

I look forward to getting through the entire vid. Can't wait to see what we have next time.
Steve L.

Hey Doug,
It's great...possibly your best, if such things can be measured.

Merry Christmas,
Matt.

Dear Doug,
I love the new video. It's helping me get closer to the day when I send you my own videos!
I'm getting there, and this and your other videos have helped a lot. Thanks,
Karl

This one is pulling me over the (good) line - Reminded me of forty years ago when I would practice for 4-6 hours and BAM! something would click...

Good job, and the separate picking/fingering section with no voice over is super.
Bob F.

Hi Doug, It's Ken G. from "Down Under" in Australia here.

The package with all the DVDs I ordered arrived a few days ago and I've been looking through them and I just had to write and tell you how absolutely thrilled I am with them.

You've put so much fantastic stuff in these DVDs that I know when I get some of it down I know my playing will improve by leaps and bounds!

Thanks also for all the encouragement you give all of us players by always telling us to take it slow and saying that you also took time to learn these licks.

You always seem so genuine in wanting others to improve their playing and you certainly unlock some of the secrets of mastering the guitar.

Thanks so much again and if you ever get down to Australia please let me know.
Have a "Merry Christmas" and a great New Year. Best wishes,
Ken

Doug - love your stuff. I bought all your Cd's about a year ago, doodled with them a bit, and them put them aside, but still did some of your riffs when I would mess with my guitar, even threw some in some of the rock tunes I was already playing.

But, then, about a week ago, I started the riffs in Playing in Circles..... Put some real time in, and did it SLOW (very important..... as you say).

I played at least 3 to 5 hours a day for the last week.... Fingers permitting. I am now getting it!!! It's awesome.

I'll be posting a vid on Youtube in a month or two once I perfected the jams error free, and will be bragging about your vids.

This is a new dimension in my guitar playing.

Thanks much, Enjoyed seeing Brad Paisley on the CMA Christmas special last night. He's got nothing on you though!!

Doug,
I don't know if you read these or not; but you're vids have made a major impact on my country guitar studies..

Even though I have played professionally for many years, I constantly learn new and wonderful things from you.

You are the best and I thank you...so...returning the wish... Have a great holiday and here's wishing you and you're family are happy and secure this season and well beyond,

Doc

...GOOD LORD Doug!

I really don't know what to say!

Awesome!?

Incredible!?

Fantastic!?

Super, super cool!?

Totally inspirational!?

You are all of these things my friend. Where do you come from, buddy!?

Seriously, come on! I really don't know what to say!

I've been teaching guitar for 20 years and you are you of the most thoughtful/generous teachers that I've ever studied under (you have taught me so much!)

I use YOUR videos and materials all the time and I tell all of my musician friends about you site and tell them... "If you want to become a better guitarist, then get Doug Seven's stuff!"

You humble me, man! And you're a great musician... damn! And a smoke'n guitarist!!!

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do for us.

I just had to tell you Doug! It's important that you know that!

God bless you, Doug!
Oskar -peace

"Doug, this is one of your HUGE fans from Nashville.

You've really inspired me to play again after 20 years of not touching my vintage axes. Been practicing your licks for the last 6 months. Driving my family crazy because I can't put it down... Gettin' way better than I was when I played in a band for years in my 20's. I wish I woulda had somebody explain theory back then the way you do. Your style and sound is my absolute favorite OF ALL TIME"!

This is Lars Martin - He completely NAILS a few of the Playing In Circles dvd riffs.

Tight tone and Great Chops buddy! Thanks for posting...
Here's a quote from his post on his YouTube channel.

""This is a testimonial to all the chicken pickin' I've learned watching and stealing Doug Seven's licks.
I highly recommend trying out his instructional videos. I was a complete rookie 2 years ago and
finally I feel that I can see some chicken picking heaven in the far far distance."

I'm so proud of this video! Thanks Lars

This is Dane pickin around some kick-ass chops- Slow Down son, you're making me look bad!

James Lugo Chicken Pickin - I accidently found this one on Youtube... James has been studying with the videos and have learned so much about hybrid picking and is starting to use his fingers!

Dude, sounds great! Don't quit doing it!

Steve sent me this video a few days ago and started this whole thing...

Playing Blues Guitar - Unusual Blues Guitar Tips and Lessons

2009-11-23T23:36:00.001-05:00

Country and Blues Guitar are Amazingly Similar.

If you can play blues, you can easily play country just by making a few minor adjustments... (or vice versa)

I have a new free video on the site that will help you SPREAD-OUT and spice up your lead solos in a very cool way...

Blues Guitar is SO MUCH like a real human voice that it's harder for some to learn it correctly because they're used to just "RIFFING" and learning "Hot Licks".

It's SO much more satisfying when you learn how to use "voicing" and to not pay attention to your notes and licks so much... When you connect with your instrument in this new way, you begin to pay more attention the tones coming from your hands and the "spirit" of the music is heard...

It comes from a different place :)

There's a whole different (and a lot easier) approach to playing blues lead.

In this FREE Blues Guitar Lesson You will learn one of the BIGGEST secrets that only the Pro have known until now.

PRACTICE - When, What, Why, HOW???

2009-11-09T16:54:00.001-05:00

Hey everybody, its Doug Seven here,

I woke up the other night and thought of some things that I KNOW Will get you extremely inspired and motivated!

That's what I'm all about ya know...
_________________________________________________

EXACTLY HOW, When, Why and WHAT to Practice?

Face it; nobody has the TIME to set down with our guitars like we did when we were 16 years old...

Let me tell you some awesome TRUTHS about practicing that are very misunderstood.
And you need this info!

REAL Practice is not what everybody thinks it is. In my opinion anyway...

It doesn't take a LONG TIME to do this either...

It's actually INSTANT. And it brings back that "FIRST LOVE" feeling with guitar you had when you first started playing.

My advice to everyone that asks is: DON'T EVER practice or even PLAY your guitar until you really want to!

It's very important and I'll explain why. I don't practice unless I specifically WANT TO...
_________________________________________________

When I'm *awestruck by another guitarist or a piece of music in such a way that I'm
overwhelmed by inspiration that I can't help but pick up my Axe.

See, that's the KEY:

Being inspired is the SINGLE MOST powerful method of practice EVER!!!

That's EXACTLY why players in certain cities seem to be MUCH better than every one else in "non-musical" towns... (Nashville, Chicago, Branson, Austin ect...)

Because they are all surrounded by great players and NEW SOUNDS to inspire them.

BUT, don't pack your things yet...

Every city and "Guitar-Town" in the world is just a click away nowadays.
(Youtube, Myspace, Facebook ect...
_________________________________________________

This is what I do and how I do it:

The only time I EVER practice is when I'm inspired or

CHARGED-UP in a *unique way.

THAT same inspiration ONLY comes through hearing a piece of guitar work that makes me emotional, OR seeing another guitar player do things that I would LOVE to be able to do on my guitar!

When I see or "HEAR" something that makes me "FEEL", that's when practice is REALLY TRUE and productive. Actually, that's the only time practice is even worth doing!

Something FUNNY Happens:

Come to think of it, I ALWAYS seem to have that "missing" element (time) at my disposal when I'm in this "Spiritual MOOD".

I cannot use time as an excuse anymore... Because my DRIVE is AWAKE and nothing else seems to matter as much. (My work, the yard, the broken toilet ect...
_________________________________________________

That's exactly the reason I put a COMPLETE practice section

at the beginning Sizzling Guitar Licks Volume 3 Video...

I absolutely had to show you how to practice correctly and HOW to get inspired...

I actually SHOW you the resources I USE to get motivated and inspired!

It's IMPOSSIBLE to get in a "RUT" when you follow this section of the video.

In Vol 3 I actually SHOW YOU HOW to practice and give TIPS on how you should always practice every time...

Exactly How I Won The Battle With My Fingers, Hybrid Style, Chicken Picking and Double Stops

2009-11-09T02:08:00.004-05:00

This IS Probably the MOST Effective Way to

WIN The BATTLE OF WITS With Your Fingers

I once said the words, "I guess I'll never pick with my fingers." I thought only a certain breed of guitarists could do it or something...

I tried switching to a thumb pick (to try and FORCE my fingers to do the work). It worked okay for a while but it wasn't comfortable for me and my style in the long run.

I started finding my own little exercises (basically licks) to try and MAKE my fingers do what I knew they should be doing. I literally did these runs for hours at a time, many times a day.

Like I always say in the videos, "Just like lifting weights, practice something until you're fatigued, and then repeat."

What I ended up doing was just using my 2nd (middle) finger and got it working good enough before I
Incorporated my other (ring) finger.

It took a while but I found myself using my two fingers together without thinking about it.

It started feeling natural to me the more I used it...

I get a LOT of questions about Double Stops, Triple Stops and overall Right Hand Technique...

I've made a BUNCH of videos on this subject to help you master this guitar sytle.
For double stops, triple stops and right hand techniques visit;
http://sizzlingguitarlicks.com/free-country-guitar-lessons-how-to-double-stops-right-hand-technique.html

For a COMPLETE course on Country Guitar style and how to play these and other VITAL techniques;
http://sizzlingguitarlicks.com/free-country-guitar-lessons-videos-sizzling-volume-4.html

There's a 20 minute sample video clip of the #2 BEST SELLER "Sizzling Guitar Licks Volume 4" on the above link also.

I know these videos will open up your mind to learn these important techniques!

Thanks for reading and I hope I was able to shed some light on this
for you!

P.S. Here's some great emaills I get to I read every day about the videos:

These were just sent in in the last few days:

------------------------

Dear Doug,
You can add me to the list of satisfied guitar players who've used your videos to increase their skills.

Literally, 20 minutes into the videos I was able to break out of the 'scale box' I've been in my whole guitar playing life!

The videos are worth their weight just to get some new ideas and riffs.
Jim M.

------------------------

Hey Doug,
I got the package...it's awesome. Thank you for being kind enough to share this great material.
The right hand screen makes all the difference!

Your playing the licks slowly, emphasizing the fingerings and accents, it's all crucial.

Your method of teaching really demystifies how this style works. You are greatly appreciated.
God bless and Take Care,

Bob D.
Camarillo, CA

------------------------

Hey Doug,
I sure don't know what to say. I don't think I have ever met somebody so willing to share the "good stuff" with anybody that asked.

I knew that's the way you were before any of this happened because I've been studying you in your free stuff plus what's in lesson 1.

The sad part is unless you really hit it big, the only reward you'll get is knowing how many of us out here are tickled to death to get hold of this kind of help. God loves a giver, since he's one himself, and I am very greatful to you.

I'll be coming back for more when I finish with this one so be busying yourself with whatever else you got up your sleeve.

Kenny, M.

There's SOOO many more, I didn't want to bore you with the testimonials... I LOVE getting these every day!

Wow I just can't believe how much you have inspired me so far.

I can't get up to your speed yet but I am working on it!

I quit playing years ago but your videos made me knock the dust
off my old guitars and start playing again.

Much appreciated
Tony

These are smoking licks. At 48 years young

I doubled my speed in one day with your videos.

It's really making sense... Thanks Doug
__________________________________________________

Hey Doug,

I' m looking forward to meeting you someday and I admire your
picking so much.

I'll just bet most of the top pickers in Nashville owe you much
recognition and you're their best kept secret.
THANKS FROM TNT (TOM)
__________________________________________________

Hello Doug,
I think the exercises in Vol. 4 are invaluable for developing
the sound of hybrid-picking.

You were right; I was inspired after just watching the video.

Thanks for making the vids,

they are already helping me elevate my game.
Mike

Doug,
You are truly an exceptional musician. I have always wanted to
learn some great country picking, and

Your site is the best site I have stumbled upon.

Just messing with your site for a little while really helped my
quest for learning to burn country style.

Once again, Great site, great clean and fluid, melodic playing.
Thanks
__________________________________________________

Doug,

This is so AWESOME advice and it makes so much sense.

I've often thought about this but wondered if I was just being t
oo lazy but the truth is I only practice when I'm inspired anyway
because it's the only time I EVER get anything done!!

The trick is finding the inspiration.
Thanks so much for pointing us all in a great direction!!
Keep doing what you're doing.

You are the first teacher that articulates the
psychology of playing so well.

And it's necessary -more necessary than learning scales.
No one is doing that but you!
Rock on!
Sue

I’m just getting your Dvd "playing in circles”!
I put it in my dvd player in order to see if it is "ok"...

Impeccable! I don't regret this purchase that really
allows me to improve!

Playing in a country band and being the youngest by reason of my

age and my experience in country style, your teaching gets results!!!

Thanks again Doug,
Anthony

Hey Doug (and crew...)

First of all let me say that I love everything you have put together.
The DVDs are packed with great playing and sound advice.

I'm getting the hang of it though. Thanks to your videos.
I just wanted to let you know that I think they are great.
And not only are you helping guitar players play the way they want
to, but you're also helping expand the genre of country guitar.

Thanks bro.
Keep 'em coming
Tom.
