NOBODY has ever showed me this or talked about it. I have always struggled with the half steps I hear in country music, esp. ,old school stuff. I'm a classic rocker so I'm always thinking playing in key or the 4th and 5th. Never have I thought about the b7. Thanks a million. My eyes are opened!
I bought several of your DVD lessons when I got back into the guitar, after 5 years of collecting dust, then taking my mother to see her favorite artist, Brad Paisley and feeling the way I did as a kid hearing Eruption from Van Halen. I started looking for teachers, but nobody had that Paisley, Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Steve Wariner thing, until I found your lessons. Playing gigs with Grunge-ish and Hard Rock bands I thought we would get killed, but people loved Amos Mosses, Mama Tried, etc., with me employing techniques I got from your video lessons. Thanks a million!!
Hi Doug..Just AWESOME...once I understand it more...the C and the D-C turnaround..I kinda know ..but the G and flat7 are gonna take a lot of work...btw...you are a great teacher...ive looked at 100s of vids for country style licks...and then I found you...my best find since pebber brown..another awesome teacher...Thank...Dave
Doug you are probably one of the BEST guitarists alive today! You are very generous to share your knowledge and ideas with the rest of us. God bless you, and happy New Year!
Oh sure, it's easy to play these licks when you have half a telecaster and an extra set of hands growing out of your shirt pocket. Not so much for those of us with pocketless shirts... :) I just discovered your site a few days ago and I'm digging the lessons. Thank you for the great content. I'm trying to sort out hybrid picking, chicken pickin', flatpickin', and getting that clean-ish spanky country twang and lessons like this really help with that.
Hey Doug, just wanted to say that I've spent now several hours with this video and it's been working wonders for my country chops. There are just so many great musical ideas in here, and you teach with such great passion and energy. I've learned a ton from this video and your others as well. Thanks so much!
This is so useful . just the logic here is enough to keep me going and grinding away tonight picking...and kinda cool that you always have a way of explaining things, that for me always make sense . Sometimes just listening to your way of thinking gives me enough inspiration to learn something new.
These lessons are great enjoying them all getting and awful lot of different ideas from you great lessons so many ideas keeping me busy that is for sure,,,, Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome videos. Very happy that I came across your YT channel. So a (?), at 7:00’ish, are you essentially going back and forth from the major to the harmonic minor? Thanks.
I'm also intermediate going toward advenced Doug, but it just to fast for me as well, but you still inspire me. I'm concerned that if I buy your course that it will be at the same speed and out of my league... thanks Buddy
I love this guy! His Vince Gill lessons are killer and on the button. I also have numerous other D-7 volumes a must have if you want to grind it out in Nashville at the Bird!
Doug.....thank you so much for your lessons....I'm talking your riffs and employing them into my blues/hard rock guitar style....I may even impress some girls on the way....wish me luck
Nice job! I just requested the downloads... Looking forward to learning this stuff... Thanks so much, this is what I've been looking for... If you're ever down in Louisiana, let me know bro... Would love to jam!
hey doug!!it's aways awsome to see ya pull on the new video for us.ive been appreciated that.but im kinda struggled with whether we have to change the key of scale that we use during the chrod changes or we could just vocing the chrod tone when the chrod change and use the main key of the scale in rest of the song??thanks alot
Hey Doug, I listen to a lot of metal, oldies rock and old country - stuff I think is good according to the composers skill. . I also like Steve morse and Paul Gilbert and basically any musician I think has a true gift from God, your by far my favorite chicken picker(not that that's your label but your superb) and I can't even begin to tell you How much you inspire me. Thanks for sharing your talent Doug.
one of my biggest pet peeves in life is when someone states that so-and-so is the best guitarist in the world! God I hate that! Because there are so many people out there was so diverse talents it would be impossible to say who was the best but I want to say this much! Doug! You're one of my most favorite guitar players! God the licks you put out! simply incredible! You are an incredible player! Thank you for all the videos.
hey Doug! i doubt youll see this, but i wanted to join your sizzling guitar series and i notice you can pay 127 additional to get the total library offline forever....anyway, if i sign up for 3 months, will that offer still stand, or is is one time? thanks..i love the stuff uve seen!
Great Stuff man. I enjoy your Videos and it´s cool to get some new stuff from you. For me you´re in one line with Hiland, Mason, Koch, Gill, Paisley etc. Love your chickenpickin. Greetings from Germany :)
Know the feeling.. you won't to be creative. I think the best patterns are the ones that work with melody.. Also doesn't matter what Im practicing.. I try to just take break and just play random notes . I'll play from another key.. all the sudden it sounds good. then I notice I've stumbled onto a tritone sub scale. Another thing I don't I let the scales work for me. I know the theory dominant diminished..etc.. but that's just categorizing something. If I want mix a dominant with a minor chord or minor scale and it works that just becomes a part of me. And some how these things mix into our consciousness and become natural. I've been away from my electric for awhile.. But playing take your memory with you.. I got it in just a few minutes.. I think a little faster than when I did when I played and practiced many hours a day. Here is something to think about.. When you play many hours a day.. Hve you ever thought how many hours a day you play on your guitar.. I'd almost bet you spend about 80 hours a week.. I'm counting thinking, playing for enjoyment, practicing, and performing..just think many notes you hit. On the piano counting chords as single notes...I problem hit conservatively in hour of jamming.. including Jerry Lee Lou's scrapes around ten thousand notes. with over forty years playing .. notes I hit are in the billions. Counting chords on the guitar you also. It's a staggering thought. .
Dude.....i just wanna to do what you do. watching you makes me green with envy. hahaha if you dont mind me asking, how did you get to this level? did you learn from a teacher. are you self taught? are you a "by ear" oriented player? im just at a loss. youre a monster.
Doug, God knows, I appreciate your work and free lessons. Having said that, you are teaching very seriously advanced player/students. Do you know how many seriously advanced players there are? Very few. I am middle intermediate. You are on Mars and I am standing on Earth trying to grasp maybe 12% of what you are doing. But God help, some I do actually see. Please, can you lead some of your lessons toward us and help us to get to the next level.thank you Sam Henry
Sam, I can definitely appreciate that and thank you for taking the time to give your feedback! I promise in the near future to do some more lessons geared for folks in the intermediate level of playing. Thanks again buddy!
I bought several vids of yours. At first your teachings were down to earth and graspable. In the last 7 or 8 years you have moved to mars. Most people that can are capable of playing your teachings now don’t need any teaching. Come back to the intermediate plane and advanced intermediate. You will sell more cds. I do appreciate your efforts. When I found you ten years ago, I thought I had finally found what I was looking for. You left me covered in dust a long time ago. I don’t even open your emails anymore because I know it’s just too frustrating. I want you to reel you back in. Thanks
Doug sev is the best chick picker on the planet.!!! What kind of amp u guys think Doug uses ?? I hope it’s a Hrd cus that what I play though. It’s a real working mans amp
The problem is, even to play this stuff at slightly above beginner's tempo would take AGES to do, Doug is one in a million and probably started when he was on his way home from the hospital. To play this stuff even moderately fast would take forever....sigh....
Way too fast and complex for me an old guy . I just can't think that fast. I'll never get that country twang and complex notations. I guess a waste of your time and mine .Sorry sir you are a great player. I wish I could memorize all of what you are showing , I'M JUST NOT TALENTED ENOUGH to get it. Thank you anyway .
Dont be sad and pathetic, poor pitiful me bs....if you're just to lazy to practice,then you're just too la,y to practice...dont message be back with a smartass reply, I won't message back... What I want you to get out of my comment to you is,Pratice,Practice, Practice!!! Dont give us the "Ole poor pitiful i" bull shit!!

WOW man, I thought you were dead. Thank God you’re not. Bless you man for returning from the dead. Love it.
Such talent! So fluid. One of the best on the tube.

Great video….very instructive. And world class playing ❤👍😊🎸

This technique makes so much sense to the way my brain interprets the guitar neck. You’re a lifesaver, as always.
Hey Doug, just wanted to say that I've spent now several hours with this video and it's been working wonders for my country chops. There are just so many great musical ideas in here, and you teach with such great passion and energy. I've learned a ton from this video and your others as well. Thanks so much!
Thank you for teaching. It's a blessing.
Awesome GreAt to see you again!! Killer lessons here!!!👌👍
Excellent video! Great, practical and useful ideas to approach soloing. Not just for country but any style. Thank you!
This is so useful . just the logic here is enough to keep me going and grinding away tonight picking...and kinda cool that you always have a way of explaining things, that for me always make sense . Sometimes just listening to your way of thinking gives me enough inspiration to learn something new.
I love your enthusiasm and spirit for the music you teach, truly inspiring in times that are less than stellar , Peace To You , Sir !
Doug, thank you for your lessons. You are a great player and i am trying to wrap my head around these techniques.... one day, maybe I will get it.
These lessons are great enjoying them all getting and awful lot of different ideas from you great lessons so many ideas keeping me busy that is for sure,,,, Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just love your teaching methods just hits the spot ,just great playing I'm following you for sure thanks
Ty Doug, just found you the other day, iam an ole dog learning new tricks, so ty very much...
Awesome videos. Very happy that I came across your YT channel. So a (?), at 7:00’ish, are you essentially going back and forth from the major to the harmonic minor? Thanks.
Doug, it has been awesome to watch you grow as a musician and instructor over the years. Wish I could keep pace, but appreciate the challenge!
DUDE! So good to see you're back!
Thanks man!
I'm also intermediate going toward advenced Doug, but it just to fast for me as well, but you still inspire me. I'm concerned that if I buy your course that it will be at the same speed and out of my league... thanks Buddy
Thanks Doug. As usual, tasty licks and you teach them so well.
Doug' , great stuff as usual 👏 👌
Doug I'm glad to see you again.
You're amazing!
Thanks Doug Hope you Doing Well Glad you Back in Action With your Videos

So good to see you back
What compression set at and back slap delay. Makes a huge difference
Very helpful!
I hope you're feeling well!
awesome licks and lots of good information. thank you
wow man, that's all I can say. I'm starting to get it
The way that you string things together makes a lot of sense
I love this guy! His Vince Gill lessons are killer and on the button. I also have numerous other D-7 volumes a must have if you want to grind it out in Nashville at the Bird!
When you explain some things (like the C area vibe down a whole step), I always think 'why the hell didn't I think of that?' Genius stuff, man.
JUST LOVE IT DOUG THANK YOU .
great stuff. nice playing and wisdom behind it all.
Great stuff! Thanks, Doug!
Great Channel Doug
Doug.....thank you so much for your lessons....I'm talking your riffs and employing them into my blues/hard rock guitar style....I may even impress some girls on the way....wish me luck

I'd like to know how you use your pick and fingers like you do
Those licks sound great, Doug! Thank you.
Is that slight delay I'm hearing or just reverb?
Nice job! I just requested the downloads... Looking forward to learning this stuff... Thanks so much, this is what I've been looking for... If you're ever down in Louisiana, let me know bro... Would love to jam!
Great stuff! Thank you!

Obviously, really advanced techniques and applications. Where to begin?!
hey doug!!it's aways awsome to see ya pull on the new video for us.ive been appreciated that.but im kinda struggled with whether we have to change the key of scale that we use during the chrod changes or we could just vocing the chrod tone when the chrod change and use the main key of the scale in rest of the song??thanks alot

Great stuff Doug. I have playing in circles lessons. I like it.
Everything you need to know to venture out is right here.
Hey Doug, I listen to a lot of metal, oldies rock and old country - stuff I think is good according to the composers skill. .

Thanks for sharing your talent Doug.
How awesome bro, thanks so much for the kindness! Believe me, I wouldn't do this if it weren't for folks like you
Right Doug, there are 5% advanced players, and then there's the rest of us.
@@DougSeven hey Doug are your videos still available to purchase. If do, kindly let me know where I can buy
Hey Doug. I’ve been playing for a long time. Which of you video bundles would suggest for intermediate to advanced skill level?

Great vid & well worth the long study. Trying to D/L your vids though says I have an invalid email address. No download for me.
Doug, how many hours a day do you play guitar in order for you to play as well as you do? Always enjoy your videos.
Bought a lot off your stuff, nice to see you around again ;)
Great Stuff man. I enjoy your Videos and it´s cool to get some new stuff from you. For me you´re in one line with Hiland, Mason, Koch, Gill, Paisley etc. Love your chickenpickin. Greetings from Germany :)
OK, that was pretty bad ass !
Man Country just went Jazz. I dig it!
Thank You 🎸👍
anyone know that name of the Band in a box style?
Fantastic
Doug I like that backing track. I'm not a drummer. I could this beat. but don't know names..

OMG! Doug glad to see you back buddy!

I'd be good with knowing ur "entry level licks" 😏😏😏
This is strictly for "Nashville Cats" dreamers. Otherworldly.
Just wanna buy this guy a beer but I live in the U.K.
no fair…..his pinky is almost twice the length of mine...lol
There's no such thing as a sweet country groove.
WTF Doug? I paid for the entire truckload a few years ago and now I can't log in and you have no contact information.
The problem is, even to play this stuff at slightly above beginner's tempo would take AGES to do, Doug is one in a million and probably started when he was on his way home from the hospital. To play this stuff even moderately fast would take forever....sigh....

@@renadunn1508 wow... who hurt you?
slow down and esplain what you are doing. Play fewer licks and show us how to play these
TO FAST GETTING LAZY DUDE
shows off too much instead of teaching
You talk too much
