   Hello GuitarMasterFriends! Let's go to the country music, so take your hat and put it on ;)
As you can see I added an extra video on this lesson and I put the 2 rhythms in stereo. this a really common trick, nowadays almost all the bands record 2 guitars, one for the right channel and the other to the left channel. In this way we can have more space to put all our instruments into the mix and have a better definition using all the stereo :D

Theory:
In this lesson I use 2 progressions. The first one in video 2 is a G-F-C-D and I add some notes to be able to add in every chord a hammer on to one of the notes of the chord, so we have in fact a G6, Fadd9, C (hammering in the 2nd note of the chord to the 3rd) and D (similar with the 4th).

In the second part (video 5 and 6) I use another progresion using the Cmajor scale, it's similar to the rock-blues progression so we could use the Cmajor scale or the C mixolydian scale (and lot more, hehe)

Technique :
In this lesson we are gonna practice chords, alternate picking, and muting strings. The most important is the right hand and the Down-Down-Up pattern that is played in all the rythms.

Ok, that's all my friends! see you on next chapter :D
