Blue Strat Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Anyone here have any country-fied licks they'd like to share? My only country lick is this one: I-----------------------------10---------- I----10----------10--10--------10------- I----9b11r9--7--9---9b11--------11r9-- I----------------------------------------- I----------------------------------------- I----------------------------------------- b = bend r = release 9b11r9 = bend up a full step and release I'd like to learn a few more country sounding licks and runs and I figured we could learn a lot if we all shared just one lick.

tiger85 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I drive a lot, tape player doesn't work so I flip that dial! Licks from players like Brent Mason ( Alan Jackson and 10,000 others) will start to jump out at ya if you listen even a few minutes a day! ...touched down in the land of the Delta Blues.....in the middle of the pouring rain....

spiral light Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I'm not a country player but I still dig country guitar licks. This one I stole from a Jerry Donahue soundpage in GP way back in the 80's: let ring------> I------------------- I------0--h1--s2--(2) I----2------------(2) I-0-------h1--s2--(2) I------------------0 I------------------- Make sure the A on the G string rings out the whole time. www.windhamhill.com - Shameless Advertising!

I haven't learned the basic scales and such because I'm always trying to figure out songs. BlueStrat a.k.a.

A String Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 This one is the "Must Play" country lick: ------8----5------------------------------ -----------------8---------8--8--8-------- -7b(9)--(9)---(9)---(9)b7--5--7--7b(9)---- ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ The note on the "G" string is bent up to sound like the note on the 9th fret and held there to ring throughout untill it is bent back down.

strat0124 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I don't know how to express a given lick that I do using TAB or whathaveyou. But I do know that its important to play your licks around the chord and play off the melody. Bending is just part of the whole "country" lick, most of it is double and triple string runs, breaks, and turnarounds. Knowing when to play and when NOT to play is just as important. Don't know if I expressed that right or not, just listen to all the old cats play, both bluegrass and traditional country and you'll hear the stuff you WANT to play. And then just make it your own. Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMOND DUST Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 In the 70's my mom played alot of country albums. I guess you would call it western music; Willie, Hank jr , Walyon. I love those guys to this day. In 96 I was lucky enough to sit down with Albert Lee! Holy shit!! I will never forget it as long as I live. That Nashville chicken picken is something to behold, when it's done right. He and a guy named RAY FLACKE are just too sweet for words. http://b-cordova.dmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstituteOfNoise Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Check out www.martintallstrom.com for quite an earful. He also has sound bytes to hear what it should sound like as well as the tab.
