Hi Adrian, I've played for over 30 yrs and must say I'm very happy you choose to share these lessons with us. Concise, clear and authentic - I'm learning some great stuff and trying new things - many many thanks. Your explanations of picking/right hand technique is superb !
Wow.... As a 30-year pro guitarist-vocalist, bassist, drummer, and wanna be keyboardist I couldn't subscribe and hit a thumbs up fast enough.... this guy's totally awesome....
Adrien, I was in Nashville last week and visited Gruhn guitars and this American Original 50's telecaster, ash body, butterscotch blond nitro finish with pure 52 single coil pickup just called my name so I obliged and this guitar is absolutely wonderful. It looks just like yours. One thing that I find very hard to do is hybrid pick. I have been travis picking for many years and it is completely natural for me but if I put a pick in between my thumb and index finger and try to pick with the middle ring and little guy I find it hard to do. I guess I need to just practice and this lesson look like it will help. You're good at it. I appreciate your lessons, many thanks from Texas.
My buddy and I started a country/blues rock trio with his wife and we play at local restaurants and golf courses actually lol. I had to learn cliche country riffs to pull off the lead guitar role of the band and these videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you for creating them. They have made me a better player. Cheers
Adrian, thank you so much for yet again another great lesson. Man you're a great teacher. God bless you for not being selfish with your gift of being a talented and skilled guitar player. Canada loves you ❤
I get So Giddy when you give lessons and instructions on what looks to be (initially) Too complicated, because, once you start to break it down (after the initial open) you show that "anyone can play guitar"! :) Even though this was done in 2017, I thank you for having these videos here for us to reach back on. :)
Adrian, you have great taste in guitar selections. Also, the atmosphere of your room is so relaxing, and your lessons are super helpful. Super fun! Thanks again! Makes me want to pick up my guitar!
Great stuff as always Adrian. I very much appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise with others. You convey your lessons in such a way as to make them, for me at least, easy to understand and learn. I'd say you're a natural teacher and a grand player with it!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Got a gig with a working country band. Never really played country music before and trying to find some licks I can actually use on stage. Great videos man. Keep up the good work.
I use a lick almost like this as an ending to my song also as an ending to my solo in that song. I'm metal lead guitarist but I Love this style of music as well. Super fun to play.
Adrian your courses are fine and easy , i'm always learning something new . Hope you'll keep on doing the good work with your cool attitude and talent , thanks a lot !
Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply, the question was prompted by watching video of George Harrison playing with John Lennon and noted he played different chords from John when not riffing or soloing, as you say giving slightly differing voicing s to the rhythm. Absolutely love your channel!
Great, great, nuanced lesson. Thanks much for this one. Really appreciate the detail on fingering and technique. Really came alive for me when I changed my fretting as you suggested at the end. I,m helping a freind choose a guitar next week, andcan’t wait to casually “unleash” at the shop at the end of Mystery Train (another great lesson of yours).
Adrian just discovered your channel, very cool playing, clean and precise, anyone may be able to play, but not like you. I think its funny that kinda grin when you play, I'm going through and learning lots of your licks, seems most UK guitarist are shredding and teaching fusion stuff, Graham, Govan, Quale. From Kentucky, [so the country, bluegrass stuff is great] but in Sunny Florida now, in Country Band. Thanks Mate, Cheers!
Great lick! Just want to say I subscribed a little while ago and I LOVE your lessons and ideas. I love that you can go from James Burton to Joy Division (two of my big musical inspirations as well)!
Hi Adrian. Please tell me to stop hopping from one great lesson to the next and stick with one 'til i've got it. I think I've got Guitar Lick Attention Deficit Disorder (GLADD?).!!
hello Adrian! thanks for your another great video. could you please be so kind to tell what brand(s) of strings you prefer to use on electric guitars. thank you !
I was waiting for James Burton, he is still the king of chicken pickers. But Chet Atkins tried to copy Merle Travis and later on , as friends he named his daughter, Merle. Funny story back in the sixties, I watched , he came on an awards show and I heard him play a song I could play..I was around 16.. I was telling him.. no Chet don't play that one, that's easy. I didn't know that Chet was known to almost every one. Years later I found he was president of RCA records. Enjoyed this rockabilly tune... I like open string licks. It gives the sound texture.
@anyonecanplayguitar thanks for the great videos. I'm new to your page, just out of curiosity do you have a video that covers the chords you used to start this lick. I'd love to learn how to pick the bar chords like you do. Thanks for your time
Thanks Daniel. Maybe take a look at a video I did on rockabilly/country rhythm which is very similar to the kind thing I do at the start of this video: th-cam.com/video/W2OVsPQYJfM/w-d-xo.html
How does a lead guitarist decide which chords to add to what the rhythm guitarist is playing and how best to in crease volume quickly to cut through the rhythm during solos?
That's a big question, with lots of possible answers. Basically you need to be listening carefully, and then try and fit in with what the rhythm guitar is doing. Lots of options. Maybe finding some different ways of voicing the same chords, or playing in a different register/part of the guitar. For solo, either step on a boost pedal. Or set your amp at solo volume and back off the volume using the volume knob on your guitar at other times.

Learning four notes at a time makes a complicated lick very doable. Can't wait to start this one. Thank you.

Brilliant Adrian! Thanks so much for all the detail on the left-hand fingering and the right hand picking!
The country lick/lessons are my favorite of all your videos lessons
Adrian, you have great taste in guitar selections. Also, the atmosphere of your room is so relaxing, and your lessons are super helpful. Super fun! Thanks again! Makes me want to pick up my guitar!

Superb tutorial - this guy has a straight forward uncomplicated technique - well worth following if this is your bag.
Very nice Adrian. I appreciate your lessons. They are extremely concise and well put together. Nice job.

This is so cool, I could listen to it again and again and it's fun to play... thanks Adrian!

Hey Adrian!!! Another classic smooth lick that’ll blow most people away! Keep them coming buddy. Is that a Super Champ you’re using?
REALLY enjoyed this!
Your teaching pace was PERFECT,... i needed that extra info!
Combine this with "A Speedy Country Lick To Revolutionize Your Soloing" and you've got some bad ass soloing going on.
You're a fucking great guitar player man...
very nice!
Thank from Thailand
That is so badassand so are yu friend!!!
Awesome a lesson on the intro would be fun to learn
Heck yeah, Larry. Let's get the intro hybrid picking as well, sounds great.
I'm seeing that typical country soloists are not shy with their sharps and flats....:)
Great🎸🎸🎸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Adrian. Please tell me to stop hopping from one great lesson to the next and stick with one 'til i've got it. I think I've got Guitar Lick Attention Deficit Disorder (GLADD?).!!
The look on your face when u play an Awsome lick... Sweet
This lick alone is worth having subscribed to your channel. Great. What Tele is it you're playing?
Wow. I just saw on your website that you have been playing for over 30 years. I thought you were like 25 years old.
Good Hybrid Picking!!
Muito bom meu amigo, lindo demais esse solo !!

😎🎙🎸✅
Beautiful lick and what model Tele is that your playing
Nice. Subbed.
That is really a cool nifty little lick, thanks Adrian :) Do you write that?

Now that’s twang my friend

Yes man great!
hello Adrian! thanks for your another great video. could you please be so kind to tell what brand(s) of strings you prefer to use on electric guitars. thank you !
Thanks, man. What is a key to choose which open strings do you hit while playing?
I was waiting for James Burton, he is still the king of chicken pickers. But Chet Atkins tried to copy Merle Travis and later on , as friends he named his daughter, Merle. Funny story back in the sixties, I watched , he came on an awards show and I heard him play a song I could play..I was around 16.. I was telling him.. no Chet don't play that one, that's easy.

Danny Gatton surely! He must be an influence :)
you always have a great tone, what amp and fx's do you use?
Ahhsomeola 🤠🎸
How do you do that little rythm bit at the start, same as the chap below . I'm going to try and get it by using the slowdown function on TH-cam

Great. Now i just need to be able to play it 3x faster than my current fastest speed! Another 30 years of practice might do it.
How about the first part please
How can I get the tabs to the lessons
