- Kristofer Dahl22nd February 2008
I am glad so many people liked the voice over - this insipres us to try to deliver more of these lessons to you!
- Muris Varajic22nd February 2008
Thanks Kris and guys.
Dashooter,that's a long story but I believe that Andrew's voice
sounds nice in here to say the least. 
leedbreak22nd February 2008Thanks Muris and Andrew, brilliant lesson. Someday your playing is not going to blow my mind anymore. But I am just not so sure when this may happen.
- Muris Varajic23rd February 2008
Give it a try Jason,use slower backing and slowly upgrade the tempo step by step.
It's about staying clean and accurate,we don't need rush here,don't worry. - Mats23rd February 2008
Awesome Muris, loved it! But just a question: When do i see you using your "lightpick" again?
- Muris Varajic23rd February 2008
Thanks and good question.
I gave too many on gigs and left with just few of them in my pocket...
Waiting for new package to arrives. 
WTN27th February 2008You have a God given talent. Absolutely incredible that you can play so many styles with total perfection.
- Muris Varajic27th February 2008
I would rather call it hard work,thanks tho!
- WTN28th February 2008
Well everything takes hard work. And based on your life story, you have probably seen things that we have not, or never want to see. You can call it hard work, and it is, but you have a talent that transends this world. Godspeed......
- RouteOne5th March 2008
The "little talkin" we need (no, I will not go chasing chickens).
Carlos Carrillo9th March 2008great job Muris!!!!!!!
thanks- Muris Varajic9th March 2008
Thanks Carlos.
Sorry for asking...but why do you use copy+paste when commenting lessons?
Just curious,no big deal tho. 
demonmyst15th March 2008Muris, your lessons aren't just good, they're funny. :]
- Muris Varajic15th March 2008
Then I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
Ausguitar26th April 2008I think the talking in the video is a waste of time, since it is only a repeat of the text already there.It maybe alright for someone that can't read though.
I have limited megabytes monthly so have to be carefull what I download,for me the talking is not good,it simply uses to many mb.
Apart from that I think your lessons are fantastic Muris.- Muris Varajic26th April 2008
Sorry to hear that but majority of members is asking for spoken videos,
you must understand others needs as well.
Young Guitarist20th September 2008I liked the spoken lesson thing. And this is just AWESOME! ^^ Like demonmyst said, its also funny! I just wanna dance around
- Muris Varajic20th September 2008
Appreciate it.

Fretburns2nd February 2009wow Muris!! ive just started to try and learn country style(hybrid picking etc)..you did a mighty fine job man...seems you are great at any style you try
- Muris Varajic2nd February 2009

thanks for the comment tho! - Rufmai23rd November 2009
muris this exercise is the reason that signed up in this site. in the first 4 days i got it at 110 bpm but i think its gonna take a lot of time to get it to 155.i'll give it a good try tho.

Hello GMC crowd and welcome to my Country Picking serial, Advanced level this time.
It's standard Country chord progression, I-IV-V, we are in A key so we have A, D and E chords. Scale wise I used more of them, A Mixolydian, A major scale, A major pentatonic:
A Dorian, A minor pentatonic.
It's all related to chord progression, you'll realize it in a second. :)
Tempo is 155bpm,4/4 bar, we'll be playing 16th notes most of the time.
Techniques involved:
alternate picking, "chicken" picking, use of open strings, bends.
Voice-over by Mr. Andrew Cockburn.
Have fun! :)
Muris Varajic
