    There is a country guitar riff in my head that I want to put to a break in the song that I'm working on. Being not a guitarist, I can hear it in my head but I'm not sure how to do it. Then found this video, BAM! That's it, this is it. Although I didn't play it on guitar, it sounded good and that's the riffs that I'm hearing on my head. So, thank you very much to you!

  • @albifree21
    @albifree21 Год назад +1

    I would like to say this. Although I have several styles I like more than country on guitar. I wish I would have learned to become a country lead guitarist first and foremost and then branched out from there. For me personally, country soloing has taught me so much more than maybe some of those licks folks might find a bit corny... it has taught me soloing, scales and chord relation like no other style. Maybe it's just me, but that is what it has done for me. Now I see the actual chords in the scales and vice versa way better that before. Because before then, I never looked at it that way and I have been playing guitar for a long time. I'm not a shredder or master guitar player, but enjoy knowing what I know so much more now. Thank you for your lessons on the Tube and hopefully I can hit you up soon for some one on one lessons.

    @richardharris5481 Год назад +2

    Thanks Adrian.Each to their own but I don't get why some guitarists have an aversion to Country & a bit of say Don Rich for example in their repertoire would be a useful for any guitarist. I had an aversion to it for a long while but always liked The Byrds, Stones & one or two others that had been influenced by it. The lights came on for me with Gram Parsons & it introduced me to a musical world that I previously hadn't known. What I'm saying to those who don't get it is don't write it off.

    I enjoyed this lesson! You shouldn't feel "bad" for calling the licks "cliches," because that's what they're called! Sorta like a motif that gets recalled many times during a song. But, different from a motif.
    I like understanding what's going on behind the licks, it makes me a better player, cuz i choose a lick to play when it's appropriate. And, like you said, it's what you do with it, the notes you play after that matter.
    Anyway, keep on! 👍 👌

  • @ourlifeinwyoming4654
    @ourlifeinwyoming4654 9 месяцев назад +1

    No need for disclaimers and apologies. Country picking - real country picking, is fun to play. People ask me what type of music I like. My usual reply is: "Anything from Merle Haggard to Megadeth". In other words, anything with a guitar. Those that bad-mouth country because their dad did and they think that's just what they're supposed to do are missing out on some great guitar playing! A certain Beatle was remarkably moved by Buck Owens and even covered one of his songs with much pride. Study it first, then decide if you want to join your buddies in talking smack about it.

    I'm American and I'm old -- so here's THE authoritative "deep truth" that doubters are missing. Some of the most sophisticated players of all time ( I'm thinking Hank Garland here) were rooted in Country. And then there's Danny Gatton. Think he is below your taste meter. And please above all consider this: The Rolling Stones embraced country. Often it was tongue in cheek ( "The Girl with the Faraway Eyes) but still it honored a legitimate American Roots genre that turned out incredible guitar playing over relative simple chords. Not unlike the blues. So that's the last word.

    • @acpg
      @acpg  Год назад +11

      Totally agree. My way into country was through the Stones, Byrds and Gram Parsons. That led me to investigate some of their influences. Also, I love Danny Gatton. I don't listen to much 'guitar hero' kind of stuff but he was definitely the real deal.
