heh, I like you. You seem cool. Thx for the lesson. I can't belive I just heard of this type of playing.. sounds like a mix of blues, jazz, and country blu grass, no?
@tripwire2581 thank you for the kind words. I think you're right, kind of a melting pot. I love it. if you ever get to see someone play it live who is really good at it you'll really love it. I can't play like those guys but I have fun trying lol
Hey man, think you could break down these licks a little more for a slow guy like me? Umm, especially the second one where you walk down on the C chord and then do the same lick on the G chord??
Hey man, think you could break down the 4 or 5 main licks in a little more detail for a slow guy like me? haha. I would greatly appreciate it. Well, the lick i'm having a hard time with is the second one. The lick where you walk down on the C chord and then do the same walk down lick on the G chord.
thanks for the advice, but if you could just give me the left hand shapes on the stuff it 1:50 or so i am sure it will still come out different, i really could use the help either way Happy New Year
well you might not wanna get it to exact, I don't have the best technique.
jerry douglas once said that everyone has their own nitch, when you're trying to learn something from someone, don't try to get it exactly the same. Get it close and then give it your own personality. I thought that was good advice.
Great Job! The only people not likely to appreciate your arrangement, in Chicken Picken style are kids. Whether that be chronological
or a lack of maturation. Most of them if they play at all will end up sounding like one trick ponies, that every one gets sick of hearing, for some they will come to realize what came to flavor their favorite bands. and
say wow i should have listened to more Robert Johnson or maybe Doc Watson, or Brent mason.
Well, I've never seen a strat as a country sounding guitar as pointed out by aljosh down there. I think the word or adjective you're looking for is more along the lines of blues, jazz, funk stuff like that.. You want a country twange guitar(yeah everybody sees this coming)get a Tele..
No the word or adjective is not blues, jazz, funk or anything but chicken pickin or country. I did not play blues or jazz licks. These are licks I've heard from Brent Mason, Kelly Back etc. It doesn't matter what guitar they are played on. Obviously I'd rather play them on a telecaster but I don't play in a country band. I'm not going to buy a tele just to put a video on you tube.
I wasn't referring to your playing; I was reffering to the fact that homey called it a country guitar. And a strat is anything but... So don't sit there and cop an attitude chickin' pickin'...
Man, that's really cool, I can't see how to use it in I'll Fly Away, which I play often. I'd like to see you do more with the actual song. you're one fanstic player. God Bless You!!
Sorry, that was me not paying attention to what I was typing. I mean when you hear the solo played over the chords with a band, you'll see how it fits the song.
Wow, chicken pickin' on youtube that actually has style and soul! No offense to any of the super fast pickers out there (they're great technicians) but I'd rather hear this. Your playing and arrangement would definitely be an asset to a band.
Maybe you should try Di Marzio Red Velvet in bridge, it would give total twang and tele sound to normal strat.Anyway strat is also one good country guitar without any mods.
I know exactly what you mean about not being able to hear the difference. I play acoustic and it was a good long while before I developed any kind of taste on the guitars I was trying out.
I have a Digitech GNX1, I might be able to imitate the sound of the tube amp. I know there are a bunch of different amp sounds and options on there.
That's really cool! I'm an acoustic flatpicker mostly but I'm thinking about buying an electric. Since I don't know anything about electrics, are there any decent electric guitars under $500?
Yes Authorized77 there are. I bought mine for under 500 and it's American. The style of music you're going to play will help determine what guitar you should buy. For example, I'm playing country on my strat but if I had a choice I'd be playing a tele. I've just been able to mimic the country sound. I can only afford one guitar so I play a guitar that's a good all around guitar. What styles are you going to play?
Hey man thanks for the great riffs! I'm a professional jazz/ funk player here in NYC and i'v been loving the country stuff and been trying to learn it. On the next video you do could you show the licks more up close and maybe give us the notes? Looking foward to yr next post !
thanks danny. the pickups are just from the factory. and the amp is just a cheap peavey express. neither one are right for the style but I've used them so long I can tweek them to get a good sound.
It's a USA Holiday Edition. As far as it being a holiday edition I really don't know the significance of that. It seems to be lighter than other US strats that I've played. I bought it new around thirteen years ago.
You all should check out clinonious' latest posting on chicken pickin'. It is awesome. Oh wait...that's right he hasn't posted anything new in 8 stinkin' months. What a loser. lol
thanks telerocker. I plan on getting a tele. I haven't found the right one yet. I just love the fill of my strat. I think play a tele will take some getting use too.
Hey man, nice stuff! Please do more...and if ya could slow it down. LOL Im tryin to get the hang of the hybrid pickin and its not easy, you do a good job..appreciate it
hey, sorry I forgot to reply. No it's not blocked. The string are a medium gage. I do play steel but not alot. I enjoyed your videos. You've got a great plucking sound.
So is the Doug Seven's video worth buying. I checked it out once before. That man is a God on guitar.LOL! I use an X-Series Didgitech compressor and for some reason I don't get that sound I'm looking for. I hear a lot on the Boss pedals, I'm sure I will pick one up. Thanks for the response. I will get back with ya.
how about slowing them down a bit so guys like me can catch'em..anybody that would slam your playing are people that should show us how to play better and probably can't, to many metal heads on here not enough real pickers like you
Nice licks man! I have been playing Blues and classic Rock for years but sometimes have to play country. Been brushing up on my country licks. Hope you don't mind if I borrow a few of these.
Great playing man! I have been turned on to the whole chickin pickin style guitar. I'm getting good. What effects are you using and how you got them set if you don't mind me asking? Great job
thanks alot. I'm just using a little reverb and most importantly, a boss compressor. The compressor is set up from left to right (11 o'clock, 11, 9 and 12). I'm using a cheap peavey express amp that I use to play my steel through. The mid's and highs are cranked way up. But that just depends on the room. Check out Doug Seven's website, You can get a video online that will show you how to get the best sound out of your gear. I'm just trying to get close to his sound. thanks again.
Great playing man! nice guitar too!
