This Country/Bluegrass lick is 🔥 | Plus Learn a Lead Guitar Pro-Secret!

Hello friends,

Welcome back to Swift Guitar Lessons for another country/bluegrass lead tutorial. Today, let's sneak in a little thanksgiving practice and learn a classic lick that is tailor fitted to the 1 to 5 chord change in C. This phrase is comprised of several techniques that are at the heart of the genre, and also serves as an excellent example of how we can use implied chord changes to achieve jazzier lines. Let's get started! -Rob

P.S From my family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy, and musical Thanksgiving celebration. We are so grateful for your continued support and encouragement. Take good care! -Rob

Rob… thank you for including a description of the chords embedded in your licks. It really helps me understand. One day I'm gonna "get it" and really understand these things, but at 70 I am running out of time! But what a pleasure it is to have someone guide me! Keep 'em coming!

Always a pleasure! -Rob

As I said in my previous comment, the first line of tab is the source scale, just an extra bit of information that I would like for each of you to memorize. As for the section titled "lick of the week," that is exactly what I played note for note. The 2.5.1 chords are typically not being performed by the rhythm guitar in this genre, but I can still visualize them and imply them melodically for more jazzy flavor.

Hey Jim, the top line of tab is just the scale that I am using, it is extra information that I usually include in my PDF's, especially if I neglect to mention the source scale in my video elements. I'm not using the 8th fret, high e string in this lick, but I still want you to memorize the scale in multiple octaves.

Many thanks!

The first line of my pdf is different to your tutorial - both bars in fact and what I take to be section two is not played on the tutorial in favour of 2.5.1. Is there any chance of a pdf exactly as per your tutorial? I think I may be able to get the hang of it eventually but I really need something I can follow! Apart from that I think its great and something I'd really like to be able to play as you intended!

Looked at it again Rob and can't get your video lesson to match the pdf!

Sorry - pressed the wrong key! You show a fretted note on the eighth fret of the top e string in section 1 - I can't fit it in and neither do I see you play it. Where am I going wrong?!

Hi Rob. Hope you're enjoying Thanksgiving - not something we celebrate in UK. Thanks for this session. However! you sow on the tab
