Country Guitar Solo

AdvancedCountryTechnique Song tutorial5 lessons6m

OK guys, it's time for some serious string twangin' and finger pluckin' in my latest tutorial. You'll find a variety of different techniques in here, from string bending to hybrid picking and much more. The piece is in three distinct sections, the first being the 'intro' part,the second being the 'rhythm' part and the third the 'solo' part. Watch the video and see what you can pick up just by watching the left and right hands working together. Don't worry if you have never played this style of music before, it's always good to take what you can from every style of music.
