I love the beat and swing feel to Texas Swing music. I am playing extremely modern solo ideas nothing like the traditional style. I hope you enjoy my video Texas Swing Guitar Solo. The real Texas Swing originated in the late 1020s in the west and the south and made a ton of Western String Swing Bands. It is so uplifting you just want to dance to the swing. This music has a gypsy influence and it caught on with the Americans in Texas, Oklahoma, and California,virtually everywhere today you can hear traditional and modern Texas Swing feel music. It filled dance halls for over 20 years 1930’s and 40s and it unfortunately declined in 1944 because of federal war time nightclub taxes. There are some great modern players that influence me like Matt Glaser String Fiddle in the swing style and also the Texas Gypsy’s. http://www.texasgypsies.com/thankyou.html.

My name is Rick Washbrook guitar lessons in Newmarket York Region Ontario Canada. www.washbrookmusic.com I used a Less Paul guitar and a ART MP mic preamp,and a Marshall amp on clean. I also used the old Dyna Comp MXR pedal compressor.
