As an advance 30 year pro guitarist.... I like this guy's style.... He gets down to business!!! He don't sit there and talk about what he's going to do for hours and hours.... he just gets down to business !!!! Love em🤗
Hey Steve. This Flint Long writing. I'm a keyboard man, but I pick some guitar. I'm fixin' to buy a Telecaster because I want to get the exact country sound this guy on this videos got. There are so many models of teles,. Please, please tell me what tele I need to buy and about how much it would cost to get a sound like this (i know i need pedals too ) but right now i just want to know if a cheaper tele will be good enough or do I need to buy like an American Professional or something. Thanks for your help and advice, man.
Did you ever get a Tele Flint?
My guitar just looked at me and laughed!!!
😄😄
Too funny 😁👍
😂😂😂
LOL 🤣
I looked at my guitar and laughed.
Love it..Right away He gets right to the nitty gritty without any talk talk talk.. So one knows right away What they're getting into..! 👏
Thanks for lesson, been playing 35 years but learning to play country now.
Me too, hoss... Not quite as long as you... Only 25 years for me, but just now attempting chicken pickin...
Started playin in 1962. Still learning.
exact same...35 years and really fascinated with chicken pickin myself. determined to learn!
That is excellent! I'm a blues/rock/fusion player for about 40 years but I have a fairly small vocabulary of country chops. Your very clear delivery and professional presentation make this a quick, painless and relatively easy to absorb addition to my arsenal. Every once in awhile I find myself in that country arena where I have to throw down. This will definitely help. Thank you!
JESUS !!!!
And I thought I was improving because I just nailed the intro to SMOKE ON THE WATER !!!
Love this! You don’t talk for twenty minutes about why we want to play this…you just GET INTO the g-d lesson ! Subscribed!!
Strictly a blues player here but seeing Paisley last night has inspired me to start playing country style guitar and i'm sure this video will help me alot. Thanks!
Paisley got me wanting to play this too. He is a master. I remember getting so mad because I couldn't figure out what he was doing, so now I'm trying to learn.
God bless
I hate to be just one more person sayin "good job", but this video is amazing... And kind of an answered prayer, too... The main lick of this has been stuck in my head for months... I've been playin for over 25 years, and only started learning chicken pickin and country lead about 6 months ago... I know, I know, I've read about 20 comments that all say that very thing... But when I picture "chicken pickin" this lick is one of the first things I think of... But I never QUITE knew how to play it... I could "kinda" play it in E, lol... But that rhythm gets me every time! I always wanna fall into a 2/4, alternating bass line thing... Thank you SO much... You really are an excellent player with amazing technique... But you're an even better teacher...
I'm pretty certain I'll never play that smooth and fast but I'm sure going to try
Dom B I thought the same but playing guitar for hours every day I’m getting close. Keep powering through!
I’m going to need a Status report from both of you. Progress?
That tone is fantastic!
Most excellent
Man, that sounds like Johnny Hiland. Great playing and lesson.
Johnny's the man... Lol...
Oh boy! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!
I will have this down before I go to bed tonight and will continue to build on it in the future.
This message comes to you from a Vietnam Combat Veteran who will celebrate his 80th birthday in 43 days.
Great playing.Amazing teacher as well..Salute!
That's a nice lick.. now I understand "plucking" in chicken picking... thanks for sharing man
Excellent
Love It'''gonna be working on this one''''thanks for the post''''Cheers from Missouri Sir'''
Love playing this. Merged these licks with Ken's and Johnny Hiland's "Working Man Blues" tutorials...Great fun! Thanks for the lesson!
This is the juice..thank you
Very cool!
The best lesson on this I have seen yet!
great pickin’ & cool looking axe
wow that's such a fantastic move and it's clear to understand.
Solid guitar instruction! First class! I'll be visiting this channel a lot!
Awsome! You're one of the very best teachers! Thank you.
Well done sir! To there point and very clear. thank you.
Most excellent!!!
Excellent!
Best lesson I’ve seen in quite a while! More please!
wow!! Thank you! Best lesson for me so far,, backing track with and at the end REALLY makes a difference and helps! Again , Thank you!
This is great! I been playing for a lotta years, but due to differences in style and tastes I never learned this type of stuff. Thanks.
What a fun lick... love it! Thx. PS. this is what hard rock/metal shredders need to practice too!
Very cool lesson, love it! Thank you for including some backup track at the end. So helpful!
been practicing chicken picking for a couple of years now and this lick fits right in my style, thanks
my guitar won't do that
hahuaua
It's actually pretty easy...just start slow
mine either
I've played guitar for well over 20 years, and I JUST started chicken pickin about 6 months ago... Everybody thinks country music is SO easy cause most of it IS based on I IV V chord changes... But the lead parts? Lol... That's where they get ya...
Put enough hours and your guitar will do anything
Awesome lick and lesson!
Best tutorial no jibber jabber right to the point easy to follow.
What a fantastic lesson. Even though my favourite music to listen to isn't country I bloody love the guitar work in this genre of music (just not the singing or songs haha) SUBBED .
My guitar told me to go home
Did you realize the first rhythm part is essentially Funk 49 by The James Gang? So cool how switching up the picking style can make it sound so very different. Great lesson!
That beginning is in a lotta rhythms
some of the best teaching videos ive seen ,love how its all broken down and explained
Like this chicken picken riff.cheers for sharing the knowledge
Your're a best guitar teacher who's I'm see in to my life.Thanks.St.
Sweet licks! Great lesson here!!
lddevo88 lo
great tutorial for those of us who aspire...
lol yes my fingers are just giving me a deer in the headlights look ! im a basic rock guitarist and know zero country but im going to try to get a feel for it even though my fingers hate me
Thank you
I have an 2007 or so guitar site but have been doing piano sice around 2009. I started doing a few guitar lessons and guitar stuff started showing up in my feed. I noticed that you like to teach by bits and pieces and slow. ABC GMA, I think, said if you read something extremely slow.. you will remember it 60000 thousand times easier. I think I'm quoting them right. Nice rig.
Thank you so much! I finally got it. Now I just have to build a little speed while keeping it clean. Excellent lesson, thanks again!
Thanks for this wonderful lesson! I'm digging it and have been working on it for 3 days. I'm really trying to work on my hybrid picking and this is super fun. You've got a new subscriber.
“I’m gonna do a little chicken pickin’!”
Fantastic, please go to your TH-cam and just put in, Stewart Barnes chicken picking, you will love this musicians, Stewart Barnes born in 1945 yorkshire England,, Stewart Barnes passed away some years ago
Left-field question here: Do you need long fingernails on your picking hand for this? I usually keep mine pretty short otherwise they just feel uncomfortable to me. Yet because of that, I can't get the strings to ring very well when I try this. I'm a professional blues player most of the time, either just flat picking or using my fingertips to pluck the strings. This hybrid, chicken pickin' stuff is a whole other animal for me.
+Timo Arthur Hey Timo! I don't have long fingernails on my right hand. I use the flesh of my fingers to grab the string and pop it. That's what gives it that chicken pickin' feel. Thanks for watching!
Well.. I work with wood. The fingernails get dirty sometimes.. However you have to get that bite.. So yes.
Just in moderation.
Great lesson man... thanks
Great lesson. Would really help if you counted when doing without the backing to show which beat the each lick started on. Thanks!
Very beautiful telecaster. I really like the colors. What model is it?
It's a 50th Anniversary edition made in Japan. Thanks for watching!
Damn, that was gorgeous!
For some reason, a lot of guitar players are just averse to standard music reading. I'm not criticizing - just sorta marveling. I'm a keyboard guy who likes guitar & the challenge - but can U imagine a great Jazz piano or sax player teaching complex meandering lines like this via this method? It's cool; whatever works! I'M here! LOL - struggling along. But I also double on tenor sax & flute. I was always the "utility guy" in bands.. For ANY other instrument - for something this complex? You have it transcribed & slowly READ IT. just sayin' .. Good Luck!
Awesome lesson, ty so much for this. Found the vid weeks ago and thought i bookmarked. I didn't. Couldn't find it later on and confused it with the working man blues lesson. I looked for it on your channel. A lot. But today i open YT and there it is recommended! And it is my birthday! How cool is this?
great teacher,and very beginner oriented.many thanks for posting.
Amazing lesson. Great teaching here, thanks a lot mate 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great lesson, I've been wanting to get into this style of playing for quite a while. Now I've learned the riffs you've explained, it's gonna take a lot of practice to play it right. Many thank yous!!
Great Lesson!!
What a great sound man! Keep up the outstanding work, great playing!
Well done sir!
This is a fantastic lesson. Thanks.
thanks for the great lesson.
Such a great lesson!!
Great lesson and awesome instructor! You have an easy instruction method that works well for me! Subscribed and thank you!
Just discovered your channel, great lesson. Thank you!
Beautiful tele! Anybody know what model?
Such a great video! Does this mean people will talk to me at parties now?
In all seriousness, very easy to understand, thanks.
Yeah other musicians. Lol
This is great! Thanks!!!
where can i buy that telecaster
@austinhester It's a 50th Anniversary Tele made in Japan. You don't see all that often but you can often find them on ebay/craigslist. Thanks for asking!
Nice Fender Telecaster.
Such a tasty lick and excellent technique builder! Thank you for sharing the wealth. Do you mind if I write a song around an interpretation of this lick?
I agree totally, but just to be honest, if you're talkin about the main riff or lick, it's been stuck in my head for months... And for good reason... I've found a ton of songs with that in it... Everything from "Working Man Blues" to versions of "That's Alright, Momma", even found a version of "Polk Salad Annie" with this riff in it... Sticks in your head, don't it?
;)
Oh yeah, kinda similar to "Swamp Music" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, too... Lol...
Well, with Keith Urban teaching it, its gonna be good.
very nice
WHY WONT MY FINGERS LISTEN TO ME! (You broke it down so simply😩😂)
I like how you break down the melody, but it would help is you would add comments about the rhythm and measuring.
help if you would add comments about the rhythm and measuring.
Love it!!!!
woew! yeah. Very Nice, and clear!
Lil' 59 duncan in the bridge?
You got it!
Now i see what teles and crunch channels are for
Why would anyone put a thumbs down to this?
It took me two weeks, but I think I got it finally! Feels good. Thanks! :)
Yes about the same amount of time for me. The hard part was the syncopation parts and moving back to normal timing.
Thanks~
Every time I try to learn this stuff & start riffing , my Plothound starts humping my shin !
This fellow's Telecaster >>GASP!!!
This to me is the hardest picking style
Can anyone tell me the name of the fellow above here who is showing how to play this Chicken Pickin piece?
really enjoying the lesson , like someone else said "thanks for the blisters on my fingers". Anyhow is there any problem with me uploading a video to my channel practicing this lesson?.cheers
Please show tabs above clip, thanx!
Is this 4/4 ? Also is the backing track available?
Great lesson..................what bridge PU is in the Tele?
Thanks! It's the Seymour Duncan Lil 59 humbucker.
I like this video so much
The lesson is worth watching it
But pls how can i get that sound
What pedal you use and what amp your using pls
Blessings
Nice lesson, really helped me out! Are you using a coil tap on that JB Jr. or is that the full HB sound? What other gear are you using?
+Scott W Glad you enjoyed the lesson! Yes, there is a coil tap on that bridge HB. Thanks for watching!
Good ears, man...
I was just thinking that mini hb sounded very single coil. Nice.
I live in Houston Texas I’m looking for a guitar player like this for a semi hard rock punk rock country group I’m putting together what I really like is the lead guitar player who knows highbred styles like pedal steel chicken Pickin etc.
That's right up my alley. But Houston is too far.
Man I wish you were in New Orleans.
Cool lesson, it's a bit of a brain masher at first... Oh and thanks for the blisters on my plucking fingers (so to speak).....
