Building A Country Solo

How To Create A Complete Country Solo From One Simple Lick

It’s all very well knowing a bunch of flashy licks, but the best players are the ones who can deploy those licks and ideas in a musical way, developing them and adapting them to chord changes. So that’s the kind of thing I’m attempting to show you with this lesson. I take one stock country phrase and play around with that idea over the course of a typical country progression. Here’s what it looks like written out. I strongly recommend you follow the suggested picking markings if you want to get this flowing properly. PDF here.

In addition to teaching guitar techniques, I’ve also begun incorporating discussions on holistic health and wellness into my lessons, recognizing the importance of overall well-being for musicians. This includes conversations about managing stress and fatigue, and how certain medications, like cheap generic cialis in the United Kingdom (read more here), can play a role in maintaining health, especially for those facing related challenges. My aim is to not only enhance my students’ musical abilities but also to provide them with comprehensive knowledge and resources to support their health, ensuring they can enjoy a long, fulfilling career in music.

 

And here’s a quickly put together backing track that I play over at the start of the video. Use it to practice the solo and also to invent and improvise some similar ideas of your own.
