Country guitar is so distinctive and the components that make it are wonderful to use across many other genres. This time we look at lead playing – specifically a complete, easy solo over a standard song progression.
This course is about playing a complete solo over a standard I, IV, V song. No surprises here.
In true Country style, we’ll be following the chord changes.
The idea is to make this as simple and accessible as possible with the whole thing based around one or two staple licks with slight tweaks throughout.
You’ll be playing over a backing track and the scales and techniques used will be explained as we go.
The aim is to give you:
Low intermediate and above.
You should be familiar with the concept of I, IV and V chords in standard keys. Knowledge of pentatonic scales would be very useful. Picking will be done using either a plectrum or fingers.
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs, backing tracks and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live lesson and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
