The other day a friend asked, "don't you know any Country? I said yeah, a little....did not have my guitar there.
Just wait till he hears this as my impression of a little LOLOLOLOL.

Is your right hand doing some work or what, jeez didn't see that at first. hopes of learning this right now just dwindled a lil, lol
- shammy18th January 2008

Benoit24th December 2007Really cool Muris, Im exited about learning this, and exploring this kind of style.
ballistic3124th December 2007I now know what it reminds me of.....a fishing game backing track for pro bass.................on play station realy cool sound as well
- dogman23rd December 2007
Hmm, at first it sounds very Roy Clark, But after hearing it a couple more times, I hear a little of Pete Townsend's squeeze box in there too.
Great job 
N4085B23rd December 2007That was too cool! I'm also not a country fan, but this has changed my opinion! I does remind me of "The Beverly Hillbillies" tv show I used to watch as a kid back in the mid 60's ( I think it was Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt that did the music for the show). GOOD JOB!
- Muris Varajic23rd December 2007

Hello GMC and welcome to my Country Lesson! In this lesson I'll try to introduce you to some major techniques and phrasing needed for cool country playing nowdays:).
First of all, this AIN'T easy one and there's only one reason for that. Playing these licks on slow speed just doesn't give the right results, it needs to be sort of "on fire". But no need to avoid it either, slow backings are here as always. :)
Simple chord progression in key of G, G major, C major and D major chords. Scale wise I basicly used 2 scales, G major and G minor pentatonic scales, combining these two I got all I needed. For example, to get C7 chord in lead I simply borough 3rd from Gm pentatonic etc.
Lots of different techniques tho:
alternate picking, pull-offs and hammer-ons, hybrid picking, "chicken" picking, bends and double bends, use of open strings, even "fake" steel guitar technique! :)
Tempo is 140bpm, key of G.
Enjoy and let me know if you need any help!
