Americana/Country Pop lead study;
I really hope you guys enjoy this one, I feel it contains a lot of information.. not too dissimilar to the Motown one from a few weeks back. Chordal, triad based double stops, lead ideas and textures that work so well for creating memorable guitar parts and solos. This stuff is session play, studio gold! The idea, as always, is to play tastefully to serve the song. In this case, we're playing in an Americana, Country/Pop, singer-songwriter style. But of course, this stuff is genre-less really and works in any style your imagination can muster!
Cultured, compelling and complementary to the song.. those are the three "C's" we should care most about.
We use triads and simple chord shapes to generate compelling lead guitar parts and solo ideas in this thorough, deep dive study in the Key of C.
These same ideas can be applied to your Rhythm Guitar playing too.
I recommend getting hold of the lesson materials at the link(s) above. This includes Tab and Notation in Guitar Pro and PDF formats, as well as audio files for my original recording and my backing track.
So many important concepts covered.. not only applicable to Country Pop and Americana music, so don’t skip through this lesson!
