An Incredible Country Solo from One Simple Lick | Guitar Lesson

- In this video I look at how you might build a country-style solo by developing a single lick through a chord progression. A really useful thing to try if you're struggling getting from licks to more fully realised musical statements. Tab/music right here: www.anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk/...

“I love a good lick as much as the next man” and other phrases you can’t add as a header to your resume.
Beat me to it. LOL

Came to the comments section for this
🤣🤣🤣
Finally someone who will actually share an idea and break it down where anyone can understand. Thank you and much respect my friend.
This lick is based on the major pentatonic scale with an added minor third. This scale goes by the name of “country scale”, “soul scale”, “blue major scale”, “blues scale in major”, among others. The lick can also be used in jazz, pop and just about any style of popular music and on any instrument. Thanks much for the great tutorial.
Top guy. No ego.
Yes, a pleasant teacher.
Fantastic guitarist and teacher
Having a balanced Ego surely helps one become open to learning without waving one's Phallus about

I had to watch this multiple times to ensure you weren't faking it.
Dude, your playing is as precise and clean as I've ever seen. And the tone and sound you have going in this video is superb. I will be learning this solo and my goal is to play it as remarkably as you do! Great job, thank you so much for posting this.
Great Teacher and Player
Always a fender for country Gibson for rock
@@keithport6913 Fender for rock also...
@@keithport6913 Telecasters can do anything.
@@stockholm1752 yup. John 5 and Jim Root both play teles. Jimmy Page played one on Led Zeppelin I
This is definitely one THE best country guitar lessons on the entire internet
It took me 15 min to get this solo going, man i am on fire with these country licks love it! Please bring more of this! Even the wife approves, i got the "sounds great" complement tonight! :D
I’ve been playing for almost 40 years and I’m just getting started playing country. This was incredibly helpful! Thanks for posting!
I'm 69 and still learning the Guitar. I've always Sang lead for a Band but still learning everything I can! Thanks, Mr. Wilson
Heavy rock guitarist, just moved to middle of nowhere. Local musicians are all country, so just joined a country band (can hardly believe it myself). Your videos are helping bring me up to speed so to speak. Thanks for what you do.
I have run across this fine fellow before. Very good Guitar Player and Instructor. 100% Perfect Tone for this style of playing. And that was from a guy in the U.K. playing a very Hard Core 1960's American Nashville Style Country Melody. Very simple but very well done! Shows how good he really is.
As a long time rock player, these country licks are bit of a step into the unknown for me. great lesson and you have a great way of explaining things in a very musical way. Great job. Thank you! Subbed!
Howdy Adrian Anyone , you certainly can play guitar !
Seriously , thanks for your patience at being a good teacher ,
the gratitude from us your YT students is im-mesureable
This is a nifty piece of playing to have in the toolbox. Dig your whole presentation and so grateful you supply the tabs, too.
thanks again.
Adrian so glDI picked you back up in utube haven't seen you in awhile and missed your lessons and accent
Thank you for connecting the dots to a simple solo. Been looking for something like this a long time. Keep them coming.
This channel has definitely warmed me up to country.
A genre I probably would have never given second thought to but I really love them melodic sensibilities and the rhythmic feel of it
Beautiful solo to learn and good manner of educating guitarists. Thanks.
I've been teaching guitar since 1980 and own a music school in New Orleans. I think you have done a great job with this lesson! Keep on spreading the licks!
Just great. I am an old guitar player who gave it up for years, this gave me hope I can get my chops back.
Please keep them coming
Just wonderful. A Brit making me feel proud to be American...and I'm a Canadian of Italian descent. No matter how "cliche", this lick sounds so dam good. You're a natural musician and instructor. Keep 'em coming.
That makes you an American 🇺🇸
Wow, beautiful lick! Thanks for sharing it with the class. I've never played country but now I want to try after hearing you play it so nicely.
Thanks Adrian! excellent lessons mate, no shortcuts, no fluff and very tasty licks. Unreal!
Adrian. I really like watching you on your videos. There’re simple straightforward and no messing around. I consider myself a rhythm guitar garage musician. I’m trying to learn the fretboard and your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much my friend
thanks Adrian - lovely little solo that just about teaches everything you need to know to play country licks endlessly. Well chosen solo, well played and well explained/taught. Much gratitude from someone who has been trying to crack the code of country guitar playing for a decade. Have watched hundreds of CZcams videos, bought umpteen dvds but your video has given me a massive slingshot in the right direction.
God bless you man!
Your my new guitar hero.
I absolutely love this kind of guitar playing.
I'm much more of a rhythm / acoustic finger picker but want to learn country lead and have been really struggling.
Thanks so much.....I'm a fan!!
Thank you!!! Great lesson and loved it that you reference numbers and the scale position :-) It was so easy to learn. Lot of folks try to teach here ... loved the way you approached teaching this. Please keep them coming.
I know this is an old video, but just wanted to express my gratitude. I'm starting to try to branch out into bluegrass improvisation and the concepts in this video are helping me immensely. I'm a mediocre guitarist but an experienced high school teacher (English, History, Government, and Science) and I recognize just how skilled you are as an educator as well as a player.
I'm a long time rock player learning country. After watching numerous teachers on CZcams, you and Doug Seven are my two guys.
Excellent lesson. Great instructor. Thanks so much.
What a brilliant teacher!
Marvelous tutorial! The basics are here for many other solos. Your presentations are well explained in a great deadpan way. Thank you, Bert Clark
So far all of your videos are pretty good specially this one. Looking forward to more great stuff. Thanks
I agree with others, neatly done - clear and easy to follow, thxs keep it rolling.
One of the best online tutors out there, excellent
Maan just got one word for U.... ur a super teacher and the tempo u can play in with that super clarity and continuously teaching us the left hand tricks n variations.... well.... U r just super for a guy like my level... God bless U !
Thanks Adrian. That was a big help to me. I thought you put it over real well. It's helped me to start to get a flow with lead licks and not sound like you're just running through the scales
very good teacher keep up the good work
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing your talent both as a musician and a teacher, brilliant.
Great tutorial! You're giving a born-in-the-wool blues player an entrance into country! I appreciate your walking through the whole lick in a student-friendly manner. Cheers, mate!
Wow, I learned more from this lesson than a I have from a multitude of other peoples lessons combined. This has really opened up a better understanding of turnarounds and moving up and down the scales. Thank you!
You kick a great deal of ass. Greetings from across the pond.
Very helpful and well done. Thanks!
Awesome
This video has made me very happy due to the positive vibe of that lick :) You're doing a great job Adrian. Have a great day.
Thank you. Terrific lesson. You are an excellent teacher and a real talent.
It's so cool, thanks to this tutorial I'm playing stuff I never dreamed I could play.
Finally, someone connected all of that for me...tnx!
Just wanted to add another compliment. This is a great lesson and as others have said, your technique and your tone are just excellent! I've been tweaking my EQ ever since I started practicing this one. I've picked up on a few of your other lessons also and they are all excellent! Thank you so much for putting in the effort to do these!!
this fellow is a great teacher he's the real deal
You're saving me money on guitar lessons, thanks!
Thanks so much for the awesome lesson! Finding this was the best Christmas gift I got this year! Come on across the Atlantic... Texas needs guitar players like you!
Is it true that everything in Texas is big
@@stevescontriano860 everything is regular here
Great stuff! Really inspired me to dive into some country leads. I appreciate what you're doing. Thanks and I look forward to learning more from you.
I watched you teaching this awhile ago and I always come back to this,thanks very much.
I'm Impressed!
"I love a good lick as much as the next man."
Who doesn't! ;-)
my wife likes a good lick... will it make her sing better? LMAO

Love the way he kept a straight face there, quality! lol
That aint no straight face.
This is a fantastic lesson. Thanks I just recently found you trying to learn some country licks. Great job. 🎸
Really enjoy your instruction; on this lesson and others. You break down the licks in "learn-able" chucks and demo them well... clear and concise. I became a Patreon supporter of you, because of your style.
This made ma happy.
Thank you
Love your videos.
Love this lesson Tom. It's just what this beginner has been looking for! Thanks!
Excellent teaching and playing! You have a warm, pleasant manner about you that enhances your teaching and playing.
Hello, my Brother across the Pond!
First of all, thank you for the multiple considerations YOU put together to make such a nice presentation of these awesome County guitar licks. Thanks so much for this great viewer friendly presentation!
Jim
Reading your comment is refreshing and appropriate 👍
Cool, this lick is called a "G" run in Bluegrass attributed to Lester Flatt. I tried using similarly as you do to learn the neck but your arrangement sounds a whole lot better than mine. thanks! I learned a lot today.
swap the E for an F natural you get the Del McCourey run.
We always just called it a Flat run in my Bluegrass circle
Yeah… i learned it so I could mimic a banjo sound for a record my band did years ago.
minor/major 3rd interplay is the heart of each phrase, played across each chord - simple and sweet.
Sweet, how clean and sparkly is that, thanks.
"I love a good lick as the next man..." brilliant, keep it up
Rollin on the floor, laughing my arse oft... That was just too funny, thanks for making my evening here guys!
Good lesson
Great playing, and great lesson.. this lick is super fun to play!!
I'm surprised I haven't seen one comment about how freaking amazing that tone is!!!
I love the keys of G, C & D because I can recognize everything much better & be able to utilize open strings. This is such a wonderful example of just that. Thanks so much.
Nice solo and lesson!. BTW that lick is called the Lester Flatt G run. Its probably the most known lick in bluegrass music.
tecnolover2642 yes it's is and used so many ways.
I too like a good lick and I think you did a nice job explaining it. thanks for the post.

Yes

Hi,do you play?

!!.
Great lesson very well explained, simple but very effective, lovely cascading lick in fours at the end with double stop 👍
I loved that cw solo...so cool....and totally inspired me to learn it....thanks so much....
Love that ending lick!
Is it a happy ending lick?
It’s from yackety axe by Chet Atkins and mark Knophler
A true guitarist capable of saying, "I love a good 'lick' as much as the next man," and able to express it purely in the context of guitar playing without any vocal inflection implying a Freudian slip or intentional under-lying reference to cunnilingus.
I'm a sailor - we slurp clams.
colonel angus was quite the cunning linguist
but that doesnt mean its not funny
Huh? Lol
What a good player you are. Thanks for the country lesson. I loved it.
Great guitarist, good licks and a great lesson, will surely help my guitar playing.
97 dislikes... I guess no good deed goes unpunished... Great video... awesome playing.. defenately worth learning note for note... love the diminished chord... thank you from the USA...

How could anyone not like this one?
Very cool,thank you man,nice playing,fuckin awesome solo,best regards
well explained, nice sound and very beneficial ,many thanks for posting! will practice a lot on your nice progression.
You're a really excellent guitarist and teacher, these lessons are fantastic, thank you!!
LMAO ; I love a good lick as much as the next man. ;-) Nice lesson too.
Great lesson Adrian. Very well explained and easy to follow; plus the additional TAB sheet on your website. Recently discovered your videos but I will surely return many times. I made reply comments to PeterDad60. "What a disrespectful moron he is"!!
Love it - thanks for taking the time to help us guitar lovers.
Very well executed and explained! Great simple material to build on.
This is great stuff, thanks. And, I'm still laughing at your hilarious comment at the beginning of this video!
Your amp sounds so country style. I also got the Super Champ XD. What voice are you using here? 1? What's the set up are you using on this video? It sounds awesome!
Greetings from Canada. Very nice tune, Thanks for this it will be a challenge for me but, well worth the effort. Well taught also
Great video,wonderful teaching method ! You are the best,thanks for taking all the time and effort to share your talents with others.
damn your good good teacher
Nice job. I didn't know that people from the U.K. liked country music
Ricky scaggs
The west of Scotland love A little bit Country.
We like BOTH kinds of music: country AND western... :P
Oh yeah we do! US develops the instruments and the style and we run with it as fast as we can. We have some really good exponents but it remains American and all credit is given to Uncle Sam's people. You have some really great exponents. Who wouldn't like Hank, Johnny, Kris, Ernest, Dolly, Rita, George, Merle, Riba, Patsy...… how long have you got.....?! All fantastic.
We don't
really nice! Well done!
Simple and very musical. You are a brilliant teacher. You play it very well and you aren to showing off!. I'm just beginning to write it down
Awesome lesson with many inroads into country improvisation, the 467 dislikes must of come from some very confused people.
Yup! I don't understand the need to dislike something so "harmless". Doesn't speak well for people.
When I learned this lick long time ago it was just called "the G run"
Haha, yup. I think many in the electric country guitar crowd may not know that this lick comes from bluegrass. The classic Lester Flatt G-run, the first lick any bluegrass guitarist learns. Which of course doesn't take anything away from this great lesson.
Top notch, well explained, you have an amazing gift with music, hope for us all. I'm determined to nail this pattern.
This helps SO much as I have been mainly rock, blues, classical and jazz.
Is there a way to get hold of the backing track for this lesson? I do like the way you teach. It's simple and straightforward.
If you have Spotify or Amazon music, there are loads of backing tracks on them. Lots on CZcams, too.

I hate licks. Signed Mr. Lollypop
Just fantastic! This makes perfect sense. Started Saturday . . . and had my " Ah ha" moment figuring it out Sunday. You are a wonderful teacher.
I LOVE this!! Great job!
