DESCRIPTION:
Never be lost at the Jam session again! Join Guitar Techniques magazine’s Stuart Ryan for the ultimate Country guitar lesson. In ‘Country Guitar Jam Session’ you’ll discover:
- The scales that Country players use to create their licks, fills and solos
- Essential Country guitar techniques from hybrid picking and chicken picking to open string scales and Country string bending
- The most commonly used Country guitar rhythm riffs and where to use them
- How to adapt Major scales, pentatonic scales and more to quickly create real sounding Country guitar licks and solos
- How to turn scales and techniques into music with authentic sounding tracks – learn riffs, licks and solos in the accompanying full band backing tracks
You’ll explore the guitar styles of:
- Johnny Cash and Luther Perkins
- Vince Gill and Brad Paisley
- James Burton and Merle Haggard
- Studio legends Brent Mason, Tom Bukovac and more
- Jason Isbell and the modern Americana sound
- …and more!
Then you’ll put it all into practise with 7 accompanying backing tracks that cover a range of styles from Johnny Cash’s classic Country to today’s modern Americana sound and more. Each track features detailed performance notes that analyse the parts along with suggested playing approaches. All tracks are downloadable in MP3 format and feature the full track and backing tracks minus guitars so you can learn the original parts then create your own.
Mastering a new style is dependent on getting three things in place – Technique, Vocabulary and Application. In ‘Country Guitar Jam Session’ you’ll start by learning the techniques, developing your vocabulary and finally applying everything you’ve learned with real sounding songs.
