Country Guitar Lessons
  Difficulty 4 of 10 Bluegrass Country RhythmWe will 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 rhythms.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Country LicksOne of the things you need to focus on if you want to sound country, is your picking. The low notes will be played with he pick held between the thumb and the index, while the middle and ring finger will play the higher notes.  Difficulty 8 of 10 Fast Country SoloAlternate picking, pull-offs and hammer-ons, hybrid picking, "chicken" picking, bends and double bends, use of open strings, even "fake" steel guitar technique. Hop inside!  Difficulty 6 of 10 Acoustic Country BluesThis acoustic lesson is in the country/blues style without the use of a pick. To do it right you need to block the rest of the strings. It's an excellent exercise that gives single line melodies a powerful sound.  Difficulty 7 of 10 Bluesy Country JamBy Roo Roo gives a jam lesson that can sound good played dry, without rhythm guitar. There is a lot of double notes and with clean sound you can create a bluesy-rock feeling.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Swingy FingerpickingMuris shows you some interesting patterns for right hand fingering in this lesson. It's also great memory lesson,to remember when to play which pattern. And now we have pinky in action!  Difficulty 8 of 10 Roo's Mad FarmBy Roo This one is a Metal-Country mix, so not a genuine country lesson... The lesson contains open strings, hammer-ons, pull-offs, chicken picking, double stops, palm muting...  Difficulty 6 of 10 Bluegrass LessonBy David OToole Welcome to this little bitta Bluegrassy Chet Atkins viberoony thing! This tune is easy enough to play once you get the components in position. Namely the righthand picking pattern (repetitive) and then the simple lefthand partial chords. Basically the same righthand pattern is used throughout, just changing the emphasis (or loud/softness) on certain notes.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Country/Blues LessonBy David OToole Time for some tasty Country/Blues style licks. The first piece utilizes a cool string bending technique that simultaneously bends two notes. One up and one down which produces a sound very reminiscent of a Pedal-Steel Guitar lick or a B-String Bender. This technique can be expanded on a lot and we'll look at some similar but more advanced uses of it in a later lesson.
