An Incredible Country Solo from One Simple Lick | Guitar Lesson

- In this video I look at how you might build a country-style solo by developing a single lick through a chord progression. A really useful thing to try if you're struggling getting from licks to more fully realised musical statements. Tab/music right here: www.anyonecanpl...

Finally someone who will actually share an idea and break it down where anyone can understand. Thank you and much respect my friend.
Heavy rock guitarist, just moved to middle of nowhere. Local musicians are all country, so just joined a country band (can hardly believe it myself). Your videos are helping bring me up to speed so to speak. Thanks for what you do.
I had to watch this multiple times to ensure you weren't faking it.
Dude, your playing is as precise and clean as I've ever seen. And the tone and sound you have going in this video is superb. I will be learning this solo and my goal is to play it as remarkably as you do! Great job, thank you so much for posting this.
Great Teacher and Player
Always a fender for country Gibson for rock
@@keithport6913 Fender for rock also...
@@keithport6913 Telecasters can do anything.
@@stockholm1752 yup. John 5 and Jim Root both play teles. Jimmy Page played one on Led Zeppelin I
This lick is based on the major pentatonic scale with an added minor third. This scale goes by the name of “country scale”, “soul scale”, “blue major scale”, “blues scale in major”, among others. The lick can also be used in jazz, pop and just about any style of popular music and on any instrument. Thanks much for the great tutorial.
“I love a good lick as much as the next man” and other phrases you can’t add as a header to your resume.
Beat me to it. LOL

Came to the comments section for this
🤣🤣🤣
I've been teaching guitar since 1980 and own a music school in New Orleans. I think you have done a great job with this lesson! Keep on spreading the licks!
Just wonderful. A Brit making me feel proud to be American...and I'm a Canadian of Italian descent. No matter how "cliche", this lick sounds so dam good. You're a natural musician and instructor. Keep 'em coming.
That makes you an American 🇺🇸
I'm a long time rock player learning country. After watching numerous teachers on TH-cam, you and Doug Seven are my two guys.
It took me 15 min to get this solo going, man i am on fire with these country licks love it! Please bring more of this! Even the wife approves, i got the "sounds great" complement tonight! :D
I'm 69 and still learning the Guitar. I've always Sang lead for a Band but still learning everything I can! Thanks, Mr. Wilson
I’ve been playing for almost 40 years and I’m just getting started playing country. This was incredibly helpful! Thanks for posting!
I know this is an old video, but just wanted to express my gratitude. I'm starting to try to branch out into bluegrass improvisation and the concepts in this video are helping me immensely. I'm a mediocre guitarist but an experienced high school teacher (English, History, Government, and Science) and I recognize just how skilled you are as an educator as well as a player.
As a long time rock player, these country licks are bit of a step into the unknown for me. great lesson and you have a great way of explaining things in a very musical way. Great job. Thank you! Subbed!
this fellow is a great teacher he's the real deal
Howdy Adrian Anyone , you certainly can play guitar !
Seriously , thanks for your patience at being a good teacher ,
the gratitude from us your YT students is im-mesureable
Maan just got one word for U.... ur a super teacher and the tempo u can play in with that super clarity and continuously teaching us the left hand tricks n variations.... well.... U r just super for a guy like my level... God bless U !
This is definitely one THE best country guitar lessons on the entire internet
thanks Adrian - lovely little solo that just about teaches everything you need to know to play country licks endlessly. Well chosen solo, well played and well explained/taught. Much gratitude from someone who has been trying to crack the code of country guitar playing for a decade. Have watched hundreds of TH-cam videos, bought umpteen dvds but your video has given me a massive slingshot in the right direction.
Top guy. No ego.
Yes, a pleasant teacher.
Fantastic guitarist and teacher
Having a balanced Ego surely helps one become open to learning without waving one's Phallus about
@@gusraymond9562 🚀👍
Adrian. I really like watching you on your videos. There’re simple straightforward and no messing around. I consider myself a rhythm guitar garage musician. I’m trying to learn the fretboard and your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much my friend
Thanks Adrian! excellent lessons mate, no shortcuts, no fluff and very tasty licks. Unreal!
This channel has definitely warmed me up to country.
A genre I probably would have never given second thought to but I really love them melodic sensibilities and the rhythmic feel of it
This is a nifty piece of playing to have in the toolbox. Dig your whole presentation and so grateful you supply the tabs, too.
thanks again.
Adrian so glDI picked you back up in utube haven't seen you in awhile and missed your lessons and accent
Just great. I am an old guitar player who gave it up for years, this gave me hope I can get my chops back.
Please keep them coming
Beautiful solo to learn and good manner of educating guitarists. Thanks.
minor/major 3rd interplay is the heart of each phrase, played across each chord - simple and sweet.
God bless you man!
Your my new guitar hero.
I absolutely love this kind of guitar playing.
I'm much more of a rhythm / acoustic finger picker but want to learn country lead and have been really struggling.
Thanks so much.....I'm a fan!!
Start videos with the lick you're teaching at full speed, then break it down. It would definitely hold people's attention better. I see more and more teachers on TH-cam using this technique and it holds my attention and gets me much more excited to stay and watch how they did that. Just food for thought.
Wow, beautiful lick! Thanks for sharing it with the class. I've never played country but now I want to try after hearing you play it so nicely.
Thank you, thank you!! I am a 30 year+ rock player and don't naturally lend myself to major keys and country phrasing. My band plays Cadillac Ranch and this will work perfectly. Thx again brother and Rock on!!
Thanks so much for the awesome lesson! Finding this was the best Christmas gift I got this year! Come on across the Atlantic... Texas needs guitar players like you!
Is it true that everything in Texas is big
@@stevescontriano860 everything is regular here
After using your videos for 1 week, I was able to transform my playing to something that is passable as a country playa.Keep more licks coming!!!
Your videos are really easy to follow: straight to the point and uncluttered.
Cool, this lick is called a "G" run in Bluegrass attributed to Lester Flatt. I tried using similarly as you do to learn the neck but your arrangement sounds a whole lot better than mine. thanks! I learned a lot today.
swap the E for an F natural you get the Del McCourey run.
We always just called it a Flat run in my Bluegrass circle
Yeah… i learned it so I could mimic a banjo sound for a record my band did years ago.
Absolutely love the solo lick. Love the intro. I wish these videos would incorporate more of the actual link - how it should sound - throughout the video, esp as an outro. It sounds so good, is motivating, and may create a cliff hanger to make me watch it again 😁
One of the best online tutors out there, excellent
Where were you when I started playing guitar 65 years ago. I have left this a bit late. Spirit willing ,body not.Keep up the good work,good luck.
It's so cool, thanks to this tutorial I'm playing stuff I never dreamed I could play.
Not sure if you will see this comment but man this is brilliant! So useful as it is but also as a jumping off point to expand my own style - thank you so much.
I have plenty of time to work on this as we are sequestered during COVID 19 in NY
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing your talent both as a musician and a teacher, brilliant.
I love the keys of G, C & D because I can recognize everything much better & be able to utilize open strings. This is such a wonderful example of just that. Thanks so much.
What a brilliant teacher!
Just wanted to add another compliment. This is a great lesson and as others have said, your technique and your tone are just excellent! I've been tweaking my EQ ever since I started practicing this one. I've picked up on a few of your other lessons also and they are all excellent! Thank you so much for putting in the effort to do these!!
Thank you!!! Great lesson and loved it that you reference numbers and the scale position :-) It was so easy to learn. Lot of folks try to teach here ... loved the way you approached teaching this. Please keep them coming.
Wicked cool lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You the man Adrian!!!
I agree with others, neatly done - clear and easy to follow, thxs keep it rolling.
I just found your channel. I’ve been an acoustic guitarist for 55+ years. Just learning to play an electric guitar. Your lessons are cool and very informative. I also have guitar envy, your tele is beautiful.
"I love a good lick as much as the next man."
Who doesn't! ;-)
my wife likes a good lick... will it make her sing better? LMAO

Love the way he kept a straight face there, quality! lol
That aint no straight face.
Thank you for connecting the dots to a simple solo. Been looking for something like this a long time. Keep them coming.
Excellent lesson. Great instructor. Thanks so much.
Thanks Adrian. That was a big help to me. I thought you put it over real well. It's helped me to start to get a flow with lead licks and not sound like you're just running through the scales
"I love a good lick as the next man..." brilliant, keep it up
Rollin on the floor, laughing my arse oft... That was just too funny, thanks for making my evening here guys!
I know this is an old video however, I’m just trying out country licks and I really like the way you teach! Thanks for this… perfect start for me to start riffing country licks 😊
You kick a great deal of ass. Greetings from across the pond.
Adrian, just found this video and it is very helpful. Disregard the posts of the wannabe comedians--you have done a superb job. I was particularly impressed by your familiarity with the fretboard. Far too many TH-cam guitar videos feature players who actually have to stop and count what string or fret they are referencing. Furthermore, I like the way you paced the lesson, building slowly on one group of notes after another, and explaining how the notes relate to the chord pattern of the song. Nicely done!
A true guitarist capable of saying, "I love a good 'lick' as much as the next man," and able to express it purely in the context of guitar playing without any vocal inflection implying a Freudian slip or intentional under-lying reference to cunnilingus.
I'm a sailor - we slurp clams.
colonel angus was quite the cunning linguist
but that doesnt mean its not funny
Huh? Lol
After a good hour or more of trying to learn that....you played it at normal speed again toward the end and my mind was blown....lol...thanks mate...great lesson ganna be work'n on this one for the next week or so...brilliant!
Nice solo and lesson!. BTW that lick is called the Lester Flatt G run. Its probably the most known lick in bluegrass music.
tecnolover2642 yes it's is and used so many ways.
Really enjoy your instruction; on this lesson and others. You break down the licks in "learn-able" chucks and demo them well... clear and concise. I became a Patreon supporter of you, because of your style.
You're saving me money on guitar lessons, thanks!
Thanks so much, I"ve been playing your solo for three days in a row, just now getting it down. I'll be transferring it to the keys of E and A and be playing your licks for the rest of my life : )
Then they're your licks!
very good teacher keep up the good work
This video has made me very happy due to the positive vibe of that lick :) You're doing a great job Adrian. Have a great day.
I too like a good lick and I think you did a nice job explaining it. thanks for the post.

Hi,do you play?

That was really fantastic! A great little country etude. Thank you.
Hello, my Brother across the Pond!
First of all, thank you for the multiple considerations YOU put together to make such a nice presentation of these awesome County guitar licks. Thanks so much for this great viewer friendly presentation!
Jim
Reading your comment is refreshing and appropriate 👍
Sweet, how clean and sparkly is that, thanks.
Finally, someone connected all of that for me...tnx!
I watched you teaching this awhile ago and I always come back to this,thanks very much.
97 dislikes... I guess no good deed goes unpunished... Great video... awesome playing.. defenately worth learning note for note... love the diminished chord... thank you from the USA...

How could anyone not like this one?
I and many views would like to learn the lead for Don Williams - I Believe in You. You are a great inspiration to many viewers.
I'm Impressed!
Great video. Country is a very tricky idiom to okay well and you okay it well. I have been panting for 30 years and country still has me licked!
This made ma happy.
Thank you
Great country guitar work
Wealth of sounds and information
LMAO ; I love a good lick as much as the next man. ;-) Nice lesson too.
Very nice and good post. Hav`nt played for 40 years. Still got SG and Paul. Might try this lick. thanks.
Nice job. I didn't know that people from the U.K. liked country music
Ricky scaggs
The west of Scotland love A little bit Country.
We like BOTH kinds of music: country AND western... :P
Oh yeah we do! US develops the instruments and the style and we run with it as fast as we can. We have some really good exponents but it remains American and all credit is given to Uncle Sam's people. You have some really great exponents. Who wouldn't like Hank, Johnny, Kris, Ernest, Dolly, Rita, George, Merle, Riba, Patsy...… how long have you got.....?! All fantastic.
We don't
Simple and very musical. You are a brilliant teacher. You play it very well and you aren to showing off!. I'm just beginning to write it down
This is great stuff, thanks. And, I'm still laughing at your hilarious comment at the beginning of this video!
Very well executed and explained! Great simple material to build on.
Love your videos.
Excellent teaching and playing! You have a warm, pleasant manner about you that enhances your teaching and playing.
Is there a way to get hold of the backing track for this lesson? I do like the way you teach. It's simple and straightforward.
If you have Spotify or Amazon music, there are loads of backing tracks on them. Lots on TH-cam, too.
In his discription
I love that I am learning country chops from across the pond! Ha! Awesome video, thanks for posting.
Very helpful and well done. Thanks!
Awesome
Just fantastic! This makes perfect sense. Started Saturday . . . and had my " Ah ha" moment figuring it out Sunday. You are a wonderful teacher.
Your amp sounds so country style. I also got the Super Champ XD. What voice are you using here? 1? What's the set up are you using on this video? It sounds awesome!
My friend your playing is fabulous and you should be rightly proud of it! Look at that camera with confidence my man, your giving us gold here! No need to look away, look into the camera and say, that’s how you do it!!
Awesome lesson with many inroads into country improvisation, the 467 dislikes must of come from some very confused people.
Yup! I don't understand the need to dislike something so "harmless". Doesn't speak well for people.
This helps SO much as I have been mainly rock, blues, classical and jazz.
Very cool,thank you man,nice playing,fuckin awesome solo,best regards
I love this style of teaching a really cool lick.
Great lesson Adrian. Very well explained and easy to follow; plus the additional TAB sheet on your website. Recently discovered your videos but I will surely return many times. I made reply comments to PeterDad60. "What a disrespectful moron he is"!!
Brilliant. Putting something under our fingers, that is musical and fun to play. Signed up as a Patreon today.
Good lesson
Am I the only one who has almost mastered this lick but unfortunately only the slow version he plays around 12 minutes in the video? Well done teach!
"I love a good lick as much as the next man..." hahahahahahahahahahah
Great tutorial! You're giving a born-in-the-wool blues player an entrance into country! I appreciate your walking through the whole lick in a student-friendly manner. Cheers, mate!
I keep going into the Benny Hill show tune with this, where he run all those girls around.
Benny loved a good lick.
@@johnwatson9803 lmfao!
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Benny was the funniest politically incorrect little rascal ever.
@@johnwatson9803 Just as much as the next man surely.
One Word: Brilliant! You are a master of your craft.
