Matthew Greenwood | Boot Scootin' Boogie - Brooks & Dunn - Slide Guitar Intro Lesson @mmmatthewww | Uploaded February 2018 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
Check out my newest video of original song with Slide Guitar here: youtu.be/O86W8JE3GjQ A quick lesson on a very proprietary opening slide guitar lick in the classic Brooks & Dunn song 'Boot Scootin' Boogie'. Hopefully I've captured this pretty closely to the original recording and that it saves someone a little time in learning it too. Sorry about the dirty fingernails, but it's good dirt from the vegetable garden. Memo to self: Fingernail brush before next video. Thanks for watching.

A Song with flavors of Mardi Gras, Country Gospel & Blues. Revisiting a wonderful song from the past. Dickey Betts wrote this song Good Time Feeling and recorded & released it in 1978. The song immediately became a favorite of mine. For many years our band opened every show we played with this song. It seemed to be a great tune for the band to get in the groove on (Greasing The Tracks), and to set a good vibe for the evenings show. Songs tend to evolve over time, and this version is the result of years of tweaking and trying different things. When I started thinking about recording a new version of this song, I had in mind giving it a Southern Gospel feel. Good Time Feeling seemed to fall into that Gospel feel quite easily. The horn section adds to that Gospel/Mardi Gras feel that we were going for.
Many thanks to all the talented musicians who participated in the making of this recording. A special thanks to Jeff Doc Thal, who not only played the drums and percussion on this recording, but also did executed all of the engineering/mixing of the numerous tracks that were recorded.
This recording is dedicated to the memory of two of our recently departed friends, John Henry & Wayne Jones. John Henry was a very talented drummer and vocalist with whom I played thousands of gigs with, in our band The Hurricanes over an almost 20 year period. John and I truly became like brothers, having spent so much time together making our music. John left us on February 21st 2020 at the age of 66.
Wayne Jones was a long-time friend, both as an enthusiastic supporter of our live music, but also as one of our Band of Brothers from our Camping Tribe at the ever-popular 12 Hours of Sebring Race in Sebring, FL. Wayne was co-founder of the Sarasota Racing & Drinking Enthusiasts association (SRDE) and had camped trackside at the the Sebring Track for 50 years, enjoying European Style SportsCar Racing and the fine art of round-the-clock revelry. Wayne had recently been honored in the official 2020 Sebring Raceway Program as the Fan Of The Year recipient. Wayne was thrilled to receive this very notable award, as were all of us in the LaBomba/SRDE camps. Wayne lost a lengthy battle with a respiratory disease on May 07th 2021 at the age of 63.")
