Very good lesson. Only question I have is that on the original recording of Choices the D riffs/fills don't start on beat one. Do you agree?

[@countryguitaronline]

Hey Ray - Yeah, if you listen closely to the original recording, the fills start at all sorts of random places..some are on the 4 count...some you'll hear on the "and" count after 3 count..some on beat one. This lesson here is just "in the style of" to show some cool concepts. I find that riffs starting on beat one similar to the riffs I chose for this progression are easier to transfer to other songs. Thanks for watching! - Devin
