- Hello music Lovers! Welcome to episode 5 of The Woodshed! due to the tons of feedback and requests, this episode is gonna start you on the path of country Telecaster, chicken pickin, Brent Mason inspired playing. We are gonna jump in and tackle the fundamentals of right hand picking, hybrid playing, finger pluckin, and string popping. We are gonna look at the basic harmonic outline and see what note alterations in the major scale will give you that delicious southern fried redneck sound. From there we get into some basic bends and lastly we get some double stop fundamentals. This is NOT a "here is lick A, B, C" this lesson is meant to give you a good foundation of tele chicken basics. Then we are gonna talk about how to take your own playing and licks you already use, and how to twist them to give them a southern sound. So put down that dual humbucker shredder guitar and go grab ole Pep Pep's telecaster, its time to take walk on the wirey side!! Thanks for all the comments, love and support. Let me know below what you'd like to see in future episodes. Hope you guys enjoy this! Be sure to jump over to Andywoodmusic.com for more lessons, gear, dates, and merch. Cheers!
Andy is one of those rare combinations of being an incredibly consummate player as well as a highly gifted teacher.
Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge. Keep up the great content.
What a fuckin guy man aswell as a multi instrumental genius
First of all, thank you the lesson. Secondly, thanks for calling us "kids". I'm old enough to be your father and it brings joy to have somebody can me a kid because my brain thinks I'm a kid.
All this stuff was Greek to me not long ago, even after playing for 38ish years. You made it fun to learn.
I can't for the life of me understand how 3 people gave this incredibly good lesson a thumbs down Andy. It's free, it's absolutely top class, and it's extremely educational for anyone interested in adding "chicken pickin" to their guitar playing! I'll have to have a word with Brent Mason, Albert Lee and Dan Huff! :-) Keep on doing what you do - I'm sure all your subscribers would agree that you are both first-class and very classy.
Must have been the metal gods
Must have been wanting licks and not the theory so they could build their own sound.
They wanted the video to last longer then 26mins... lol
You can't understand... no need to say anymore
Funny you say that, the other day I found out I had disliked a video by accident and found out about it only a couple weeks after. It may just be an accident.
"Does it CLUCK?" Had me hooked
I love that you broke down the major scale and pointed out the notes and nuances that make things sound country. Until that I couldn't tell you what it is but I know it when I hear it. I also love that you're not just teaching licks but instead showing why and how the notes work together. I mean licks are great and all but if you don't know where they come from and why they work you just know a lick, you are teaching a style. Great stuff I will definitely be working on these concepts.
This is such a great lesson. Being a German, I dig that southern accent. Thanks a lot sir
30 year rock player, this is a perfect stepping stone to some cool picking techniques, thank you.
"Minor or Major? Why not both?let's treat ourselves? " Dude I like your style, now I'm a fan 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Andy Wood for this lesson! I love this style and been working on it the last 10yrs using your approach. The thing I find fascinating is each reknown country guitar players interpretation of all those things and the nuances that make up the sound and style. Each wonderful, and each slightly different. Coming from the 60's and 70's, information like this back then and the tools we have today to make it known would have changed the landacape in major ways. We really have far less excuses to NOT BE really smoking guitarists. I know you insist on one hand you're not here to spoon feed, but to me personally your generosity of easy to follow instruction is off the hook, and I thank you profusely for it. You love what you do and it shows. Excellence!!!!!!!
I have been a rock and blues player for 40 years. I always said this country playing is the best I've ever heard. I too loved some 90s country and Brent. I have been trying to learn it, but never could get those half steps in place. Now I know, when you explained by intervals, my brain exploded. Thank you. I have learned more in 20 minutes than in 6 months.
This video is EXACTLY what I needed. Been playing for 25 years. Never could find that "gateway drug" to country cluckin and this approach has NAILED IT! Thumbs up and subscribed!! Thank you sir!
In lock down and just spent an excellent 26 minutes listening and learning from Andy. Back later for more, brilliant..
This is great. For players who are new to this style of playing and those who have some experience under their belt. It's always good to have a pro take us back and revisit the fundamentals. Sometimes we get moving along too quickly and skip some critical basics. Plus Andy, there is plenty of cool chops in your demonstrations here to grow from throughout this weeks Woodshed.
I love that you teach the approach versus specific note for note licks. Thanks again for this channel.
Listened to this in 3 sessions and really enjoyed taking my time. Thanks Rick
Just throwing this out there i only recently found you on youtube in my constant search for what to play and what to learn and the whole shock of how talented you are is making me wanna keep on playin. Your not stuck on genres you just seem to play everything. Please keep the content comin for those of us tryin to find ourselves on the instrument. God bless.
Great lesson! Thanks, I've been playing guitar for 47 years and just learned more today than I've learned in the last couple years... thanks!
Thank god.. I have had a hell of a time finding someone that explains the right hand. Thanks man!
So, for me being the age of 56, drummer of 48 years, I took up guitar for something new. I'm only a few years into it and struggling with the shapes and confusing modes. I just listen to van Halen licks and blues stuff. So Last night I was messing around and decided that I should try playing with no pick and I found your instructional video. Thanks, my fingers have calluses but are kind of raw today. Regards; Bruce
Get some Bruce!
Finding the octaves helped me a ton, and then you can immediately find the 5th
This is BY FAR the best guitar lesson I've ever seen on TH-cam!
I agree. For years I've been trying to figure out what makes country sound country and your teaching style brought is out for me. Thanks
ANDY, you are fabulous. I cannot understand how nice your attitude and musical understanding is. It is fantastic to look at your videos. Your point is - I show and you learn. Then apply it. Excellent stuff!
Holy hell man, that was one hell of a lesson. I think it was intermediate and right in the pocket, plus you talk in intervals. That’s all I need. Cheers man, perfection. Let’s get to cluckin
This may be the best YT video lesson I’ve ever heard. Cool.
Really enjoying this series so far. Andy you’ve got a great teaching style and great sense of humour. No wonder you and uncle ben get along. I always leave with the junktown riff stuck in my head, tho...
Geoff Villeneuve cheers man!! Thanks!!
Brilliant lesson this. I just stumbled across it. I was looking at something else, scribed down and came across this.
Thank heavens I did that.
I like your approach to teaching. No BS involved, just right into the heart of the matter.
One of the best explanations. Great lesson.
The world certainly needs more guitar teachers teaching concepts rather than licks. Just learning licks and tabs is what held my guitar playing back until recently when I decided to start taking the instrument seriously.
All those names are great ones, but Andy I believe you are the very best.
That's the best lesson I've watched in a long time. Thank you sir!
Wow!!!!! Excelent Andy!
One of the best taught classes I have seen. You have a natural ability to teach so please keep the videos coming!
Wow awesome video. Enjoy your sense of humor. I think this video will definitely help me and my basic country licks.
Super thanks for opening the gates to the country curious player that I am. You boiled it down with everything I was searching for: references, techniques&concepts building on already acquired guitar foundations for the experienced but non-country guy. You the man 🙏
Absolutely amazing...Thank You So Much Andy.❤
This is one of the best lessons I've ever seen. You sir, have a life long fan here. Amazing.
I could listen to him talk guitar all day. Excellent stuff Andy! Thank you.
I would consider myself advanced but I never tried to play country, it is such a different feel. This lesson really helped me understand how to get that twang sound. I’m still fumbling around but it’s sounder better every minute I play. Thanks Andy! I like your no nonsense style of teaching!
Andy about 10 minutes in it all clicked. You are truely an oustanding teacher. Subscribed
FFS!! Andy is fantastic!!! I absolutely love the scale/passing note breakdown. Thank you so much Andy for this pure gold you are sharing. Beautiful
Great player love his teaching
Simple and straight to the point.
Deconstructed and clear.
Love it!!!
The Tele looks and sounds great, 1st class lesson 👍
This is a really great lesson from one of the masters of this style. Thank you for making this available to everyone. Watching this really makes quarantine bearable.
I've been playing for quite awhile...doing the stuff you are showing without even knowing what or why I was doing it. This helped me understand and opened up my mind to more...you have a new follower...
Thanks for this
This video was all kinds of awesome…. Thank you god’s of the TH-cam algorithms for suggesting this to me. You now have a new fan, subscriber, and student here!
I'm stoked brother, thank you!
Andy, your tone and playing are impeccable. Really inspirational stuff
Absolutely love the way you put things. You take the mystery out of it in a way that is so easy to understand. Thank you Andy!!
I have been playing for years professionally and you inspire me👍🇺🇸
Best job I've seen integrating country picking into an understandable cool method. Thank you sir!
Nice lesson, thanks for sharing all your knowledge !!
Andy, this is great man, thanks!.. This is exactly what I need to get that country sound under my fingers
Probably one of the best lesson i've watched on this type of picking & playing. Great player & Teacher.
Your explanations and playing has changed how I look at my guitar. Thank you for what you do, it's badass! So are you, big bro!
A VIRTUOSO WITH AN ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING TEACHING STYLE WHO DELIVERS THE GOODS WITH A WAY WITH WORDS.....
Good stuff. Love the in depth on scale degrees/harmony.
I’m 68. I’ve been performing since I was 16. It’s how I made my living along with private teaching.
Im real good at what I do but there’s always something to learn.
I’ve not done much county but I do hybrid picking so this seems like a natural type of playing to learn.
I’m enjoying these ideas plus it’s fun.
These are good lessons for sure.
Great teacher. Great player.
I’m glad I found these videos.
All I got to say is THANK YOU BROTHER this is what I needed to see got to say you're the best at teaching this stuff that I've have seen to date. I'm an old blues rockr metal head. Always loved this stuff never thought I could play it thanks again Andy
Superior instruction thank you Andy for taking the time and effort to teach. This will take me some time but it's most excellent your class. Brent Mason is a great person to teach from being he's so darn good.
There are no basics with guys like Brent Mason, dude is so good.
Hey Andy- would be cool to see a studio tour / gear rundown. Also curious to see your signal chain when recording at home. Cheers!
Finally! Someone showed me how to use my right hand to get more creative! Great lesson. Thanks
Country guitar warms my heart. Absolutely love country guitar. Who are the grandfathers of country lead guitar? Who influenced guitar giants Merle TRAVIS and Chet ATKINS?
I enjoyed the playing and the lesson so good work on your part. I appreciate folks like you that share your skill and knowledge. It’s very gracious of you and I thank you.
Peace
Awesome lesson I’m a dive into this in the next couple of days , can’t wait 👍🏻
Thank you sir. Thank you for being generous with your time and talent.
You're the best of the best Andy!
How can anyone dislike a free lesson ? Crazy. Thanks for this excellent :-)
Oh my……just found this….
Wow. I need to know how to play those licks in the intro!!!!
Love the videos. I will have to watch them multiple time to digest them.
Hell yeah dude… damn, how do you not look at this and get severely depressed, it’s just so clean…
This is great. Thanks so much Andy.
I love this kinda woodshedding - These lessons are really great - quite inspiring
Great lesson dude! I've been playing rock and blues all my life but now playing country and need to get better. Thanks
This is the best lesson on chicken picking i've ever seen. Thank you Andy

Johnny Hiland. BEAST of a player.

Sooooo entertaining! Thanks Andy for bringing down to earth...
I met a buddy at local Wing joint here in Knoxville one eve for dinner. He said there would be some live music and I showed. I was blown away to seen Andy playing with local guys and straight killin!!
Super lesson once again Andy!.. Thank you so much:)🎶🙏
man i have been slingin a guitar for almost 40 years...you explain this style very nicely. thank you
I love chicken. Now I'm into Picking it too. Such an interesting helpful Video.
Awesome lesson! I’m definitely one of those rock and blues guys looking to incorporate that chicken Pickin sound, which I think sounds killer. But I never knew where to start this was the perfect lesson to get my feet wet. Can’t wait to start implementing the techniques you demonstrated. Thank you!
Wow! Just Wow! This is one of the best lessons I've ever seen and I've seen thousands!!!
Great lesson . Thanks for breaking it down for this North eastern player who is trying to get a handle on it !
You are an excellent teacher.
So practical so humor and I'm so love it!!!!
Dude! this is an amazing lesson. You take the sting out of the theory and provide a really strighforward apparch to understaning the harmony. Thank you so much.
brilliant video, I've been playing for decades and finally got round to try some chicken pickin. You explain it brilliantly ( and are very good player btw) thanks
Hi Mr. Wood, you’re laying it on us the way Peter wrote it on a rock. I was able to grasp what you’re showing us boo-coo quick. You can pitch some very sophisticated concepts over the plate in a way where we can all … you’re a savvy one. A natural. There is a ton of information in this short video.
He's totally amazing !!!! I love it !
Thanks Andy. One of the best chicken pickin lessons I have seen.
What a great teacher!
Awesome work Andy! Such a well rounded approach across the whole style as always.
Awesome lesson, love it. Ive been playing a long time but i am seriously lacking in some of this stuff! Thanks Andy 👏
