Product Information

You’re basically playing a chord progression with a descending bass line incorporating voice leading with the top note of the chord (the leading tone) and embellished by a whole- or half-step bend. Let’s examine our A minor pentatonic scales. Pay special attention to your root note, and what degree of the scale position you start and end the scale on. Practice your scales slowly and accurately, using a metronome, focusing on accuracy and consistent-sounding notes. The Blues Scale Here we have a C major scale, and we’ll apply some common bent notes of the scale. Note that in country music, all six strings can be used for bending into notes, but more commonly you’ll find the 1, 2, and 3 strings being used. In this example when ascending, you’ll bend into the D to the E on the 3rd string, G – A on the 2nd string. When descending we’ll incorporate some “pre-bends”—these are notes that start with the string already bent, in which the bend resolves to the next note. For this example descending, we’ll have the B, 2nd string resolving to A 2nd string 10th fret; E – D, 7th fret, 3rd string; and F – E 5th string, 7th fret. Always have the pitch in your ear before bending. When working on your bends, it’s a good idea to play the note you’re bending to first, by fretting the note, then bending into the note.

Let’s do some scale review on our major and minor pentatonic scales. Here, we’ll review them in all five positions. Once you feel comfortable with the positions, it’s important to explore different keys with these scales.

How can you tell if a 12 week old chicken is a rooster?

These are all movable root scales. If you take a look at E major pentatonic, you’ll notice it’s the same as playing C# minor pentatonic, but starting and ending on a different root note, in this case being the E. Honky-Tonk The following article on country music guitar techniques is excerpted from the Berklee Online course Country Guitar. What’s the difference between major and minor pentatonic scales? You may not even realize you already know major pentatonic scales. If you already know all your minor scale positions listed in the key of A, then playing major pentatonic is the same fingering, just starting on a different note. In all genres of music, there are songs that survive the test of time. These standards are used as the springboard for building a repertoire in a style. In this time we have together we’ll explore a few songs that I feel every aspiring country music guitarist should know. (There are many, many more in the 12-week version of my Country Guitar course!) Over time, these songs have been interpreted in many different ways, and this versatility makes them great tools for developing your chops and your own style. We’ll explore some notable approaches by listening to different versions of each song discussed, and explore how each song lends itself to practicing techniques and tools needed to build a country guitar repertoire.

In swing eighths, the first eighth note of each pairing is longer and the second eighth note of each pairing is delayed or “felt” later in time. The most common description is a triplet without the middle note. If you count “1 trip-let 2 trip-let 3 trip-let 4 trip-let,” and take out the “trip” of each grouping, you have approximated the swing feel. Sometimes, based on genre and feel, the swing subdivision can be called a shuffle. Generally speaking, in a shuffle feel, each second note of the pairing is even more delayed than in a swing feel. For charts, the convention is to write regular eighth notes, even though they are performed in this “long-short-long-short” way.

Bend slowly and accurately, focusing on the pitch. Pay attention to how it feels to bend a whole step and how it feels to bend a half step (which requires less force then a whole step). Eventually, you’ll develop muscle memory and won’t have to focus on pitch every time, but in the beginning it’s crucial to get used to hearing and playing the pitches accurately. Practice this rhythm using down up strums, focusing on consistent timing. Once you feel comfortable with the triplet feel in your eighth notes, we can add the low-end bass part. Much of the signature sound in traditional country music comes from having a pedal or lap steel guitar in the band. The sound of bending into notes is a key element in country guitar playing.
