  • The "Country Ballad Solo" lesson combines several styles and techniques, including some blues, hybrid picking, sweep arpeggios, and ascending and descending steel guitar style bends. The tone is tight and bluesy with a little overdrive and a good bit of delay. I'm using the bridge pickup and a compressor to accentuate the twang.
