Thank You!
If I could play like this I'd never be in a bad mood ever again
That’s what i thought
It didn’t work
Keep practicing, don't give up
You can be even better (well it's hard though...) It's not gonna make you happier... For some hours, some days maybe, and after you would like to go further, always further until you reach the top (I didn't reach the top myself but I see the cerebral mechanism) and then you will be bored as usual.
Happyness is a matter of vision of life, not goals activements.
What a great solo, I'm already struggling with the initial E and C#m rolls, country guitar never ceases to amaze me, it's technically complex yet sounds so beautiful.
Looking to get into chicken pickin’ and this looks like the perfect way to practice! Thanks!
WOW Bro, Excellent ! One of my favorite songs from back in the 80's and you NAILED it ! Thanks for sharing !!!!!
Ricky Skaggs is killer. Great job!
Great work , that's a big learn,
Before reading the above, I was thinking that sure sounds like Albert Lee..... Then read is was his composition. Got to see him once... Astounding...
Ich ,der eher der Hard und Heavey Abteilung zugehöre, bin jedes mal begeistert von den Country Picker. Ich denke es wird Zeit mich mal damit intensiv zu beschäftigen. Meinen absoluten Respekt an alle Country Spieler, ihr seit großartig 👍👍👍👍👍
that was amazing playing
This is Nasty! Thanks for the tab as well.
Trent Hays hey bro can you lend me the tab? Is so cool
@@frankboozeman did you ever get the tab?i could do with it too.it passes so quick on screen.cheers.
Holy Tele licks Batman !!! Friggin awesome my friend !!!
Awesome job...love it!!!
You play this super clean. Great tabs by the way, Slowly working on this one. :)
Sounds great! Well done sir
Outstanding playing and transcription!
sooooo cool, thanks Ben
Fantastic video, really great job, thanks!!
amazing!
Excelente aporte!
Awesome pickn on that Tele Cat!
Awesome. Thank you.
The truly ridiculous part is the fact that you still have ~20bpm to go before full speed. Absolutely RIPPING.
Jesus I'm just about getting .75
Very nice! You should try to alternate with hybrid picking using your fingers as well together with pick. It actually makes it easier to play such fast licks.
Great job!
Very good
Good stuff
So close to getting this, the beginning cascading part is the hardest. I'm not great at alternate picking 1nps, I prefer hybrid but even then my fingers aren't strong or fast enough for full speed
thanks for the video Ben. is what you're playing the solo, or the tab? they're slightly different. i'm practicing what you're playing, and unable to rely on the tab. Thanks again, i'm enjoying practicing it.
As a long time rocker,,,this guitar playing is so cool and refreshing...a pure pickers masterpiece 🎨 Thank you for this upload 🎥 👍🏼💫
You got the twang!
Dang son...nice!
Wow your technic guitar is nice
Thats the shit . I seen ricky on tv with the new Nashville cats . That was it for me .
Very cool. Is it Albert playing the original.
Yes he wrote the song. This is Ricky’s solo. Although Albert the G run Part.

Damn baby 🔥🔥🔥😍
Is the original cross picked or hybrid picked?
Any advise on what clicked over and made you so good. Breakthrough?
Damn.......
👍👏👏👏👏bravo
Your picking is on point! I've never seen someone tab this out before, did you do this by ear?
Yes
My favorite part of this song is the guitar pickin.
💥💯💥
👏👏
Now that’s some chickin’ pickin’!
I started recently with bluegrass and I watched many of your videos. Boom chicka pattern gets very hard for me after 130 bpm while playing (note G - strum) & (open D - strum) pattern using open G chord. Crosspicking triads (200 bpm triplets on triads) - is that enough? Alternate picking 160 bpm 16th notes as far as I can see is enough? The goal is to prepare my right hand for the challenges and I am trying to set specific metronome goals :)
Believe it or not, he’s only been playing a couple weeks
Great job and incredible picking technique! Anyone know what instrument Ricky played on the recording during this solo?
It's a high strung acoustic guitar of some sort, and from the sound of it, I think it might be a Tacoma Papoose.
He’s a bluegrasser. It’s a Martin D-28.
@@BulldoggerJK , if so, it has to be a D-28 on helium. Listen to the solo. It sounds one octave above what Ben Parsons plays in this video, and even goes higher than what's possible on a regular guitar tuning. But it's not a Tacoma either - the model I'm referring to (The Papoose) was released in 1991. It has to be some sort of octave acoustic.
@@TheFrode69 are you talking about the mandocaster break? Pretty sure it’s a mandocaster. You can hear the double strings at one point. Mandocasters aren’t fully double stringed like a regular mandolin. From what I remember. They aren’t very common. Now you got me listening a little closer.
@@BulldoggerJK not just the break, but the entire solo covered in this video.
In the original recording - as I said, the solo is voiced one octave above what's played in this video, and it sounds like an acoustic instrument i.e. an acoustic guitar somehow tuned one octave up from a normal tuning.
It may very well be a mandocaster (which, to my knowledge, only features four strings), but it doesn't sound like an electric instrument.
Maybe they got that sound from plugging a mandocaster directly into the board, but another thing is that the tonal range in this solo is greater than what a regular mandolin tuning can do. This goes all the way down to an E whereas the deepest note on a mandolin is a G.
There must be a way to ask Ricky about this.
Frode Hansen, did you ever figure out what instrument Ricky played? I agree it sounds like a high strung guitar, but there are clearly double string phrases like a mandolin.
Hi there fine man, can I have the tabs in pdf or guitar pro?
Leonardo G yes what is the best way to send?
Let’s try by e mail LeoTagren@outlook.com
EXELLENT !!! subscribe !!!
What gauge strings? Seems a little light to the ear. Could be my headphones.
that is some SERIOUS cross picking dude..!!!....excellent job
Now see how fast you can play it
Your cross picking is insane.
seems like country soloing relies on many noted instead of good ideas
