In the previous lesson of this series, we learned the 5th position of the G minor pentatonic scale and I showed y’all some nice country and bluegrass riffs to get you started with your improvising. Now let’s make it sound even more country by adding in a couple extra “blues” notes. The blues scale is basically the minor pentatonic scale with one extra note added per octave - the sharp 4th or flat 5th degree. With the right combinations, these blues notes will really make your playing sound country and bluegrass. Let’s break down the blues scale, important fill techniques, and six country and bluegrass riffs with tablature.
The Gear I Use:
Acoustic Guitar Strings - Woodtone Country Series woodtonestring...
Acoustic Guitar - Martin D18 Ambertone Finish, Collings D2H, Atkin D28, Martin D-16GT, Martin D-15
Guitar Pick - BlueChip TP40

Hi Devin. It has turned into night here in Denmark and I watch your lesson before I go to sleep. Can't wait to get up tommorow morning and pick up my guitar and start practicing these bluegrass licks. You are a phenomenal online teacher!
Best greetings from Henning
Thanks Henning! I really appreciate your comment. Hope you can put the bluegrass licks to good use! Plenty more on the way soon - Devin
szss
Aaahh...finally....after sooo many search for country lick, the perfect video i got it😅, btw, love it bro
Merci Devin. Un très bon cours de guitare country Bluegrass.
Thanks!
Love the sound of the Blues please do more videos like these
what's up Devin! again sir thanks for sharing, really helpful
Thanks! Really appreciate it. Editing the next video now...should be up here Monday morning
+Devin Shawn great man!
Noticed you sliding up to the 4th fret on the G string too.
G'day Devin, top tuition, as on your VIDS, easy to follow. For a tone deaf Elder, can do some basic pick/strum and pick a bit, you do good stuff, Mate. My likes, Aust and US traditional and Blue Grass. Only problem, cannot use a pick, always thumb. :)
Thanks a lot
Pattern country blues?
Thanks for the great lesson! 🙏 quick random question... I just noticed the D-35 I bought this year is spec'd with a two-piece mahogany neck is that normal, something that Martin is doing now to save wood?
You can barely see it and I don't think it really affects the sound. It has a great resonance about it I'm in love haha I just thought they used a solid blank
Thanks! Yep I think you're exactly right...to save wood or because there was a shortage. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing as far as quality goes..I'd say it's still really nice. I love D-35s. I have noticed the Martin quality going down in the past ten years because they're starting to mass produce guitars for Guitar Center but they're still amazing guitars with that classic Martin sound. I don't have a D-35 but it's definitely on my list of guitars to purchase one of these days. Congrats on the new guitar.
Thank you
thank you
Nice patient style of teaching. Thanks .
Thanks!
your opening doors .. bro... to people stuck in a rut !!
+christian vaillancourt awesome glad this helped out!
Helped soo much thank you.
Sounds like you're playing the intro to Aqualung. But I guess the difference between rock and blues and country is how you utilize the G scale. Whereas difference between gospel and Blues is who you're singing about... Him or her.
Yo just a heads up, the white background sucks👍
Dude! Nice picking! I found you by looking thru my subscribers lol glad I did! That's a good sounding guitar!
Thanks man! You've got some picking skills yourself...really like your videos and the humor you throw in. Good stuff
i love that hat
Which Martin guitar is this? A D18?
Really close...it's a D-16GT
Yes it is useful when you ramble on and show us your licks within the scale as it proves it is worthwhile learning the scale. Cool Devin!
Thanks a lot Sir , lots of love from India ...
Is that exact lick at the beginning of the vid on one of your lessons? Very cool!
Just curious why you're playing 5th position blues scale on that part of the guitar. Thanks.
Michael Poland mostly because the key of G is the most popular key for country and bluegrass and that's where the 5th position blues scale is located key of G. Going to branch out more to other keys in future lessons
Lovin' the starter lick :D Thanks!
Thanks!

Scales are chords, chords are scales
