Thanks! Really opened my eyes. Country playing has always mystified me because I'm used to learning songs by Zeppelin and Kiss which typically use the same scales.
Jimmy J. Rustle Oh really, such as ? Because my Welsh, Irish, English and Scottish friends would disagree there. And we certainly do not call ourselves "British".
@@buddybeetle study some anthropology. The British isles were originally Celtic but they were conquered by Scandinavians, Anglo-Saxons, Romans, and Scandinavians again. England, Scotland, Whales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland are all different from each other though
Thank you for the tutorial. I have just started country on guitar and this helps. Ignore the idiots and knockers who do not have the metal to put up their own lesson. Great stuff.
You just taught me more in 5 mins than ive been able to find out in 20 odd years. Thank you for dhowing the simplest basic things that everybody else does not or if they do they complicate it too much.
Just bought a MIM tele, similar looking to the one in this video. Has great "twang" sound just playing straight out of my Marshall Amp. May add some pedals, etc. at some point but so far really happy with the unique sound it brings
Get it wired Broadcaster wiring it'll be a totally memorizing beast and treat to play....grab a Blonde pedal....SansAmp ..gain and wild enough! That's just my opinion....
Great video man ! ... I see you've not made any in 4 years. Hope you are well and will get back over here and make more . RUclips needs good teachers like you :0)
Just on the issue of Temptations versus OJays - the song was written by Smokey Robinson and then, as usual in Motown, a lot of groups from Motown and elsewhere covered it eventually. I saw Smokey himself do it. Nearly everybody uses the same intro. But this guy is pretty young - cut him some slack.
Thanks. Interesting viewpoint. Your C Major Pentatonic with and added minor 3rd gives you C-D-Eb-E-G-A-C and your (relative minor) A (Minor) blues Scale adds the tritone giving you A-C-D-Eb-E-G-A - same notes.
It's probably worth noting that the flat fifth of minor pentatonic is the same note as the flat 3rd of the relative major pentatonic. So these are both just blues scales played in different modes.
Exactly and what made him sound "country" was more the tone and the chickin' pickin' style that he played rather than the scales he used. Want to sound country? Learn chickin' pickin'
The official names are the Major Blues and the Minor Blues. (That's what they call them in the U.S) They are not just used in Country music; they are also used in Blues and Rock. Seems like this was a brit take on the scales. To generalize- the Major blues is associated more with Country and the Minor Blues with Rock. Blues uses them both, but prob the Minor more. The Major was also termed 'Ragtime' by some.
Drake 181 its been a few months ago now but i need to do things slow at 1st. Use a metronome n set it where its a tiny bit too fast for wat ur workin on ,then when that speed is a piece of cake, i mean no problem at all, then speed it up 2,3 clicks and master that speed n on n on. Playing faster will come to ya, i think mayb its our hands,fingers need to memorize the movement thats unfamiliar, But thats an absolute 1st class guess. Keep after it . Good luck.
Lol. Had a 52. blond Telecastor or abouts..was real beat up..traded it for a newer red Strrat..bad choice.I didn't know any better. still regret it ..40 years later.
It's good your doing this vid...my guitarist I was in a covers band with played by ear really well and did good playing rock leads...but he didn't know/or what the basic scales were or how they're relative to each other especially during chord changes...anyways...'KNOWLEDGE is POWER'
One precaution..I learned this by experience. I bought a replica ..if I remember right was a copy of the original trees. It. had a lousy sound. I took it apart.I look at the.value of the capacitors. They were different. I don't know if it was a original part or somebody made the improvement. Best thing to do is go to a dealer and try out today's version and the replicas. I took a bit of bath money wise. Live and learn.
Thanks! Really opened my eyes. Country playing has always mystified me because I'm used to learning songs by Zeppelin and Kiss which typically use the same scales.
i am today years old finding out theres a country pentatonic. ty sir
Great fun stuff. Cool how a simple tip will unlock a whole new world of playing. Thank You!
I’ll be watching this one over and over. Great overview, just what I was looking for, thanks!
"My Girl" is by the Motown "The Temptations" . The mega hit was first released in December 1964.
It’s actually written by Smokey Robinson, unless my local radio station has informed me AGAIN.
@@erniepudwell627 wouldn't be surprised though the movie portrayed the moment they came up with that classic riff.
And here I thought this riff was from Bad Company's song "Young Blood".
Excellent and to the point, great playing.
Well done we all need reminding from time to time nice playing Good Man
very helpful
Learned more with this tutorial than others I've watched! Thanks for posting your knowledge!
Nice work. You explain that better than anyone on the web. Seriously.
Thanks for teaching and not talking us to death. EXCELLENT
What i've learned by watching these tutorials is that British people love country music.
"British people" who are they ?
Benny Hill...big time user of ocuntry themes for his tv series RIP!
@@buddybeetle Britons are distinct ethnic groups that have been shaped over the last thousand years

I had to sift through a lot of BS videos to find this 9 year old video. THANKS. 😅 perfect and simple. YoUre the man
Thank you for the tutorial. I have just started country on guitar and this helps. Ignore the idiots and knockers who do not have the metal to put up their own lesson. Great stuff.
I love that shirt! Thanks for the video, as I'm just getting into country guitar playing. Very helpful!
How to play a country lick:
Step 1: Throw away your regular guitar.
Step 2: Buy a Telecaster.
SirMorbid 1
a telecaster is a regular guitar.
Clifton Banks not here in Bangladesh it isn't.
But it's the only one that can double as a cutting board.
Do what now, almost sounded like theres another guitar besides a telecaster. Noooo LOL!
My Rickenbacker is a country guitar tone monster. Imagine a telly but with a much sharper twang.
nice lesson, short and to the point, very useful... thanks
Thanks Mike! Love you and the UK! Why? Why not! :-)
You just taught me more in 5 mins than ive been able to find out in 20 odd years. Thank you for dhowing the simplest basic things that everybody else does not or if they do they complicate it too much.
20 years and you didn't know minor pentatonic and the blues scale? Check out Chordbook.com
@Tim Hitt It’s not about the notes but the context
Great video! You explained it so well i was able to use the info right away, A+
Thank you. You are awesome..
The C Major lick is from THE TEMPTATIONS “My Girl”!!!
And suddenly it all makes sense... I was born and raised in Texas, and I had to learn country scales from I presume, a British man.... pretty cool...
Don’t worry, me too!
Join the club😂
Thanks for posting !

Very helpful😄thanks bro God bless😊.
Dude I loved this lesson.
love you picking
really great video mate!
Thank you
It's probably worth noting that the flat fifth of minor pentatonic is the same note as the flat 3rd of the relative major pentatonic. So these are both just blues scales played in different modes.
Right, "C Country Pentatonic" = same notes like "A blues Scale"
Yep. Only difference is the mindset behind the pattern. Same thing really
That's not really what he's getting at here. Watch all the way through again guys lol
I was just thinking this. Thank you. Lol.
Exactly and what made him sound "country" was more the tone and the chickin' pickin' style that he played rather than the scales he used. Want to sound country? Learn chickin' pickin'
("My Girl"--The Temptations, not The O'Jays.)
a great lesson if you need to get some ideas to play fills in a country tune . Good one mate
Freaking awesome!
Great lesson,cheers
Love the shirt

Well done mate......
Can you show how to play the Guitar part to a song called " Somewhere Between The Red And the Rio Grand " By Doug Supernaw ?
Thanks guitar man!🎸😁

Great lesson! Thanks subscribed
Can you please tell me what you just played in the intro of the vid
great video . keep it up

Nice touch.
Adam Miles os the best tank' lesson 👍👍☝👍☝
Great information.
Great!🤠
Very succinct.
WHERE did you get that shirt??? Please let me know!
great lesson. learned alot
Muy bueno saludos de Chileee
Nice lesson, how do you get that snappy pick sound?
What amplifier and effects are you using?
Are there any scale diagrams of these can't seem to find them by searching, major pentatonic w/ added b3rd. . .?
Simple and useful..
The fact that British people are listening to country music proves that inside every Brit is an American waiting to come out.
Nice one
First of all, what kind of tele is that ?? How much does it weigh ??
Is there an extension to these scales that utilizes the higher strings, B and High E. I’d like to see you do a video on that. Thanks!
Pete Larson yeah. Just find the same scale all over.
good one..
Miles of Fret Buzz, Miles
i like this
Is the blues scale in A minor the same as the country scale in C major?
Nice
Mate, in that little bluegrass lick, have you got any tips for developing speed? On the three note roll, are you hammering or plucking?
Drake 181 its been a few months ago now but i need to do things slow at 1st. Use a metronome n set it where its a tiny bit too fast for wat ur workin on ,then when that speed is a piece of cake, i mean no problem at all, then speed it up 2,3 clicks and master that speed n on n on.

perfect advice there brother
It wasn’t the OJs song. It was the Temptations song called My Girl.
Ver cool!
Good teaching
awesome shirt
I traded in my Fender and got me a bumper pretty soon I'll have a full body
Lol. Had a 52. blond Telecastor or abouts..was real beat up..traded it for a newer red Strrat..bad choice.I didn't know any better. still regret it ..40 years later.
It’s all in the right hand
the song is My Girl.
❤
i need only 1 watch to understand it. well explained, m8!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
How did you learn these licks?
Nice.
Would you use the C penatonic scale for songs in the key of C? G scale for songs in the key of G?
Marty Cofield it goes a bit more in depth than that.. but basically yes
Wow so easily explained. The a million
What about the major scale??
It's good your doing this vid...my guitarist I was in a covers band with played by ear really well and did good playing rock leads...but he didn't know/or what the basic scales were or how they're relative to each other especially during chord changes...anyways...'KNOWLEDGE is POWER'
Hey Adam,can you do a lesson on the intro and solo of 'Your Man' by Josh Turner.
Cheers.Burle
The intro is a pedal steel guitar, it’s hard to replicate the same sound with a regular electric
I need to learn country player's right hand techniques. Any suggestions?
rob donell replace all your upstrokes with finger plucks
nice country from somewhere like Leicester or Doncaster
Very close - Nottingham!
Ayup!
Thanks can see the cage system in that big help
Can’t wait to get me a telecaster!
