From harmonious doublestop solos to blisteringly fast chicken pickin’, country guitar has so many techniques and tricks that it’s a crime to overlook it. If you’re already familiar with blues guitar then the transition to country isn’t that difficult – it often follows similar chord progressions and scale choices.

Leading this lesson for Pickup Music is Daniel Donato, a legit country guitar guru, and he’s about to show you some fundamental rhythms, tones, and licks to get you started on your journey to Twang City.
