Hello all! This week I have a little country-flavoured solo for you that's all based around the musical interval of a 3rd. We'll be learning the solo note for note and there's also a little bit of theory to help you understand this sound and get it into your own playing. Not just for country players either, as it's a pretty essential sound which you can use in many different genres.

Here's a link to the video -

Tab is attached below. Backing track coming in the next post. 

Have fun!

Adrian

Brilliant Adrian.. Love These Lessons! Thank You!👍😎🎸

What a treat, Adrian! I have recently hunted for double stop lessons on YT. There are some "teachers" who don't even bother to explain the "3rds" and just play licks up and down the fretboard. Your lessons are head and shoulder above everyone else's. Thank you. Manfred

Yes, will do David. As usual I'll try and keep my lesson selection pretty eclectic. But these country lessons do always seem to be quite popular.

Simon Doyle

Thanks for that Adrian. Top lesson. Loads to focus on and go over there. Great stuff.

I am no 'country guy', but can appreciate as Keith Richards once said: 'A good country song will make a good rock song and vice-versa.' Adrian, there is about a dozen great songs worth in this lesson alone and loved it. Appreciate that you nail all these licks to chord shapes as this helps me immensely. Being fairly comfortable with chords and all their variations I do get lost in soloing and picking single notes over the fret board and chord progressions under it. Country is not everyone's cup of tea but all the fundamentals are there in this video that can be used in all forms from what I can see. Thank you so much for your great work.

Thanks. Yes, totally agree that this kind of approach - thinking about chord progressions, chord tones and using those a s a basis for soloing - will work for just about any style. Often it's more helpful to think like that than to always be working out of scale patterns.

Nice! - any chance you can give us some Wayne Perkins material? Love his session work. thanks again!

Thanks Tom! Yes, great player - anything in particular you's like to see me look at?

Hi Adrian. Love these set pieces. As an older chap, most of your solos are unknown to me (60s and 70s for me). But these complete, stand alone tunes are great fun to learn. And really hit the target, for me at least, between being tough to get exactly right, but not impossible. If there was anything else I'd like to see, it would be a stand alone section titled "in the style of" ....like your BB King blues track, for example. Some ideas....Clapton, Gilmor, George Benson, Joe Bonamassa, Peter Green......just a thought.

Thanks Steve, glad you liked this one. Yes, I'm always trying to do a wide range of different things and it's obviously not all going to be completely to everybody's taste. Like your suggestion though - will give that some thought! Actually got a great blues lesson coming up next week, which I hope you'll enjoy.

Scott Myers

Thanks so much for this lesson Adrian. I'm more of a 'rock guy' but I've always wanted to add some country techniques to 'broaden the palette', so to speak. Getting this lesson and the X 'Have Nots' lesson down pat have done that for me commendably. They both really helped advance my hybrid picking too. Cheers!

anyonecanplayguitar

Glad you've found these country lessons helpful Scott. Yes, always good to broaden the palette I think! There's o much you take from the country guys and apply to the styles.

Manuel Lozano

Hi! I'm a new Patreon and really appreciate all you do! I am really looking forward to learning rom you! I am enjoying all your hard work, but can't figure out how to open the .gp file. I tried VLC player without luck. Can you point me in the right direction, please? Thank you! =)

anyonecanplayguitar

Hi Manuel! Yes, the .gp file is a Guitar Pro file and you'll need the latest version of Guitar Pro software to open it. (I think there are some other free alternatives which will work too.) The tab is exactly the same as the PDF, but it will allow you to edit, change speed, play along etc. It can be a helpful practice tool. Hope that helps, and thanks for your support on here.
