Retired after 40 years and decided to treat myself with this Gretsch 5420T. Just brought it  home today and I am totally happy. Now need suggestions on Rockabilly Guitar for Beginner materials. Any help Friends?

Congrats, Revster! A worthy reward for retirement. Here's some Brian Setzer to get you started.

That is a very cool axe. Congrats!

As far as Rock-a-billy, Youtube seems to be your best bet unless Jamplay or Guitar Tricks has a series on the genre.

Good luck and also congrats on the retirement.

Guitar Tricks has 5 songs that they categorize as Rockabilly.    @revster, I can't remember what Guitar Tricks charges per month.  You could go a month or two and see what you think.  I joined because there were a few songs they had that I was learning for my weekly jam.

THANKS  to all for your congrats and support. Diane, I had not seen those vids. I check  the other suggested resources. Maybe what I play at the Gathering next year. Oh, Neil I can see myself at 105 yrs old in my wheel chair hauling a big old Gretsch onto my lap to tell the Youngster about really good music. Only to fall a sleep with head resting on the guitar while dreaming that I am duane eddy. thanks for the smile!!!
