MAY school #5 country soloing

Difficulty: Easy / Intermediate
Techniques: open strings / 4 notes per strings chromatics/ hammer ons- pulls off/

chicken picking...
Key: G

This is some lead guitar country style again. Pretty similar
to my farm soloing lesson (#3) but overall much easier with a
lower tempo.

The rhythm section turn over the same chords progression:
G - C - G D - G

I chain different licks built separately over each chord.
Which means for instance:
Over G chord, I will play a lick in the key of G.
I follow each chord like this which means, I change key over each chord.
Of course G major's relative minor degree (E) sounds good and can obviously
do the job.
So what I do is mixing into G major scale some notes of the E minor pentatonic and

blues scale for example.
I add also many passing notes which my ear tells me such as in bar IV
which is actually a lick from Danny Gatton that works on any bluesy stuff in G...

The 1st bar is the bluesy lick repeated over 2 octaves in alternate picking.
2nd bar, key of C, I use C major scale with passing notes (7th). I use chicken picking

which sounds nice with open strings (D&G)
3rd bar is almost similar than bar 2 and uses same ideas...

Bar 5, starts with a chromatics descending and is based mostly over E minor natural
scale which works well as I mentioned before.
Bar 6,7 and 8 are based on E minor pentatonic scale with passing notes.
Bar 9, is a kind of banjo roll in chicken picking with RH middle and ring finger.
Practice slowly those 8 notes over and over untill they flow...
I play simple chords D and G in the outro.

This lesson is performed with a Mayones Setius guitar with Stan Hinesley pickups.

[GigoTheDoctor]

Verry nice dude, I haven't played my guitar maybe 6 months, and i took this thing down, can you send me a backtrack ?

[MrRockmeister1]

Awesome use of chromaticism. Why worry about scales when you can just use all 12 notes.

[SlowmotionDim]

Pls dude i dont get the point which scale do you use theres many chromatic in it O.o
