Classic Country Lead: Electric Guitar Level 2
Level 2: Intermediate
This workshop will focus on the key elements needed to begin playing classic country lead guitar. While a Telecaster is the traditional choice for this style, it is not mandatory. The techniques learned here will translate easily and widen the scope for blues and rock players as well. We will explore chording, scales, low string twang, chicken picking, double stops and of course pedal steel type string bending. This course will also include some historical discussion on the early masters of this style, as well as the gear best suited for getting that HOT COUNTRY SOUND. It is expected that participants will have some facility with Guitar but are new to this genre of playing.
