Okay! I've done a little bit of string bending through the years, but I tell you, I've NEVER seen that 'bend-left/bend-right on the way back, while holding the other string together' thing!! Sheer madness, mad genius! I gotta get this thing under my fingers! OUCH! And thanks....I think!
That 4th bend was brilliant. I've never seen that before. Closest thing is that Hendrix blues bend where he bends the B string up and catches the G string down. (both single notes only though.).
I don't play much country music, but I will admit it is fun to play. I guess that's why you see everyone from Steven Tyler to the Stones dabble into it from time to time. I don't know if I can get my aging, rebellious fingers to submit to these techniques, but under capable hands, they're sparkling little gems of countrified tone. Thanks for sharing!
That's the steel tag lick on "Together Again". I thought it was Tom Brumley, too. But, when I looked at the time line, it shows Ralph Mooney playing for Buck then. Tom may have used it after that since it's an easy one for a steel player to learn. I use it all the time on the guitar. Great lick!
A relative newbee to trad country, major scale, after decades of Blues... These licks are just what I've been looking for... I know one steel lick, and it's to the point where it gets over used. Big Thanks... subscribing...
I've been looking for some good steel bend lessons, this is 100% what I wanted, thanks for the great lesson! Please do a Clarence White lesson if you have not done so already:)
Great video but your Keith lick is an Albert Lee lick. Years ago I rented a video at blockbuster by Albert lee. It was the lick I remembered and use daily
I've used morphs of the first three licks for ever...the one you don't need to know is challenging. Thanx for the tips and adding a whole nother dynamic to me playin'...
This is great, I love these licks and I am not a life long country player, mostly rock. I’ve seen one other guy play that last one. It blew my mind. One of the first game changers for how I thought about country music and country music guitar players.
Why anyone would give you a thumbs down is a mystery to me. You did a great job. I play at an Assisted Living home and love giving them music during this time. My music videos are on my channel. I subscribed to you. Maybe we can be TH-cam friends.
Regarding your last lick, check out "Jerry Donahue - Bending Genius". Btw, awesome ideas and bends you guys have! th-cam.com/video/-DpIUdFFr3w/w-d-xo.html
This is a great lesson. I play a lot of this style and there’s always so much more to learn! Licks 1 and 4 are totally new to me. That first one is a workout on 11’s!
I love trying to play old Hank Williams songs and making my telecaster sound like a steel 😎👍🏻. These licks will sound great in hank Williams instrumentals
Good video. I have a 3-saddle bridge TELE that I had a Certano G & B Bender installed on it....I'm gonna work on your 3 licks, and instead of doing the bends, mostly on the G string, I'll use the bender lever to move it up a whole note, and especially the 3rd lick you did....very interesting....I also have a Dobro that has a special "Edge" Bender on it, tuned in open E. Are you using 9's on your Tele?
That Keith Urban lick is actually an old Albert Lee riff from one of his recordings back in the 1970s or 1980s with Emmylou Harris or the like. Lee himself demos it on his "Starlicks" instructional video.
I really want to thank you for this. I have not pulled me electric out in a long time and never try any lead type things, but that first lick looked easy. It took a few tries to get the bends right but it is surprisingly easy, and with the same fingers on the same strings and no open strings, easy to transpose. D was about the low limit for me though, too hard to bend the strings up that much down there. Next I put the electric away and tried on the acoustic. That took a lot more tries before I got anything remotely nice sounding out of it, but I think with practice there is hope. Odd though as usually I can make the acoustic sound pretty and the electric sounds like crap. I will be back for more. Thank you!
I'm not a big country music fan, but love diving into any style played on 6 strings...from djenting to flemenco. And now I'll be adding some Pedal Steel. Thanks for the lesson!
Supr Tasty! How about some Roy Buchanan style steel licks if you're taking requests? Was lucky enough to see everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan ,Albert Collins,Dominic Triano,Mark Knofler and Roy Buchanan in a small club in Toronto & it was Roy's plaintive wailing, country ,jazz blues that hit me Thnx!
Do you have a video of an example of using these licks in a solo? Whenever I try to do that first one in C, as soon as I play single notes again, it sounds boring and plain.
Good genius, your videos are very good. Consult from Argentina as I get a lap steel effect like the one you use on an electric guitar? Should I arrange a bit of chorus with delay? or what is the stell effect pedal called? thank you very much for your attention
Number 2 and 3 were my bread and butter licks in cover bands back in the 80’s and 90’s. I sure wish I had heard you play number 4 back then! I would have snatched it up! Great video!
Great Tone !! Can you tell us what in the signal chain to get that wonderful country tone. Also, I love the theory too, please include more lessons with good useable theory for country/folk/rock type playing. Thanks !!
altadena57 during this video, I believe I was running out of my guitar into a wampler ego compressor, then into a boss dd7 digital delay and into a twin reverb. So, my country signal chain is about as simple as it gets haha
Great tutorial!... I have to ask though, what are your settings on your amp? What kind of amp? What pedals are you using for effects as well as their order. Sounds great!
In some states it's illegal to play these licks on anything but a Telecaster. 😎
Not to mention damned near impossible to do on many other guitars; and you can probably look forward to a broken string smacking you in the face!
My Strat works fine and I haven't been arrested.
Love my Tele!
Guitar Man what state are you in?
This may be a dumb question but then again there are some very strange laws hahaha. But is it really?
Any guitar player who can make his guitar sound like a pedal steel is a hero. No questions asked.
Okay! I've done a little bit of string bending through the years, but I tell you, I've NEVER seen that 'bend-left/bend-right on the way back, while holding the other string together' thing!! Sheer madness, mad genius! I gotta get this thing under my fingers! OUCH! And thanks....I think!
Rob Kirby Thank you! It’s definitely a tricky move, especially to get in tune! Haha
That 4th bend was brilliant. I've never seen that before. Closest thing is that Hendrix blues bend where he bends the B string up and catches the G string down. (both single notes only though.).
Patrick Cochrane nobody knows what you're talking about, but of course I do lol.
I think that was live from Berkeley
I know that Hendrix trick too, there's a vid of Greg Koch teaching "that Hendrix thing" or something to that effect
After trying it out I find this one far more difficult.
Hendrix plays that lick just after he sings the lyrics "...hittin wrong notes..."

I remember learning to play the 4th lick from a Jerry Donahue tutorial flexi-disk that came with Guitar Player in the 80s!
I'm pretty sure that video is on TH-cam now.
"Jerry Donahue - Bending Genius"
th-cam.com/video/-DpIUdFFr3w/w-d-xo.html
The last lick very reminiscent of ideas demonstrated by Jerry Donahue … many thanks for posting as had forgotten about that possibility.
You make "Keith Country" look so easy. I can't keep my 3rd and 4th fingers from moving while bending the note. Fun stuff though. Thanks for posting.
That's the steel tag lick on "Together Again". I thought it was Tom Brumley, too. But, when I looked at the time line, it shows Ralph Mooney playing for Buck then. Tom may have used it after that since it's an easy one for a steel player to learn. I use it all the time on the guitar. Great lick!
Randy Minnick it was Tom Brumley on that track.
Definitely not Ralph Mooney in “Together Again”. That is Tom, for sure.

So clearly presented. Thank you so much. I’m using the first three constantly now, the last one….that’s gonna take a little more time..

I had to put down my Ibanez and grab my Tele, Nice dude
WOW! GREAT STUFF!!! 2 Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing.

GREAT! Cool and thank you! We don't have a steel guy in our band, but two guitar players. I get most of the slide-y stuff and this is reallly great
David Shepard glad to help!!
@@PrimeTimeGuitarLessons Truly appreciate it!
Great video That Tumbly Brumley lick is classic.
sc lawman a classic indeed!

PTGL.....good job...generous for sharing most appreciative...for the slowed demo.....that was essential for comprehension. Hope you'll do more.
Digging this in England - especially that last sneaky lick ✌️🐍🖤✨
James Cassidy glad yo hear it!
Keith riff is a Albert lee riff:)
This is a great lesson. I play a lot of this style and there’s always so much more to learn! Licks 1 and 4 are totally new to me. That first one is a workout on 11’s!
Blair Hogan glad you enjoyed ur! That would be a workout for sure!
So it’s not just me then. 😐
About to try it on a fat set of .13's! May God have mercy
Excellent, really informative. I could hear variations in my head, especially the first two licks.many thanks from Australia.
Displaying Chord diagrams on the screen as you play would help some learners as well. Fun! Thanks.
Very nice lesson, very tasty licks, Very much going to subscribe and would be very happy to learn some new Roy Buchanan licks .
Gotta love Roy!
Thank you...these little guitar tricks are so cool to know
and keep in inventory! A great accent to throw in when
Jamming.
This is awesome ... a good place to start . Thanks for sharing 🎸✌
Emmit Twine thank you!!
You just taught me how to play Rain is Good Thing without a B bender! Thanks! Lol
Haha I thought that was Luke Bryan rather than Keith Urban
Multi-purpose!
The last one is amazing
Thanks. This is great. Got it bookmarked.
Beatles covered country. So did the stones. Always in the rotation of influence. The cream always rises to the top.
You got to be born with talent to learn a lot of these things
Very nice simple and effective. I’ll still have a use for my Dusenberg multibender though. Might even use it on those licks
Minimalism is a key to success.
Dude!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU so much bro for the 4th bend absolutely the best bend in a guitar 🎸 I've ever heard
'tis a tasty one!
I love trying to play old Hank Williams songs and making my telecaster sound like a steel 😎👍🏻. These licks will sound great in hank Williams instrumentals
Sweeeeet ! Thank you Brandon. Love those licks !
Wow, how do you get that fabulous tone?! Really lovely!
Awesome! The last one blew my mind, thank you!
Why wouldnt you show these licks in A since its old school country?
That last lick is gorgeous!
Certainly a classic!
Lee Cander thank you very much l learn something everyday..😗
Well done, thanks so much.
Awesome wish I knew those licks years ago
Better late than never ;)
That last C one is AWESOME dude!
Dude! That last one is solid😮
That last lick is awesome!
Pedal steel bends and banjo rolls sound great on a tele.
Pure Telecaster or Broadcaster stuff
Great Tutorial.
I wish there was more.
Your Keith country is actually The intro to lotta leaving by Dierks Bentley!
For fans of Telecaster string bending, check out Jerry Donahue. He is the master.
He really is!
Man you just showed me a new road map thank 4 that
Ouch!...my aching joints!!! Great lesson 👍
Really cool licks thanks for the tutorial
Love the 4th! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video!

GeorgiaBoy1961 and Luke Bryan is the country artist he was talking about the song is called rain is a good thing
Diamond Hero but Montgomery Gentry used it a few years before Luke Bryan in their song “if you ever stop loving me”. That lick has been around
All hail Albert Lee.
B erry sneaky .... I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. The one I don't know...I do now. Thanks
Glad to help!
How do you do the last one on a guitar with high string action? Seems impossible to get hold of the 2nd string correctly when bending down the 3rd...
Great video thanks for uploading
Christopher Rose Original songs glad you enjoyed it!
Nice. I do mostly piano these days. But I enjoy taking out the electric.a Subbed - pianostyle100
Awesome. Thanks.
Of course!
Excellent lesson, thank you!!
i have the same tele. its a beauty
Me too and I’m loving my first Tele at just 48 yrs
Post up a lot of licks with tabs and theory too!
The third lick is an old Albert Lee lick
Keith has never had an original idea, and his songs are juvenile and totally pathetic, Mr. Kidman wouldn't be where he is if not for Nicole
Can you tell us the exact model of that Tele, please?
Fantastic!
Thank you!
"Together again ...
The long, lonely nights
Are now at an end"
Also played in C.
I wonder if a swell pedal would sound good with this
Yes.
Any Ralph Mooney stuff for Waylon

JTODD MUSIC they were built in 1857 by the ghost of George Washington
