This is a country shuffle inspired by Nashville monsters Vince Gill and Brent Mason. There are plenty of country techniques to work on in this one, from unison lines to double-stop licks, country bends and hybrid picking.
If you are new to the style, it’s probably worth outlining just what some of these techniques are and how you go about playing them. First, unisons. These are very common in country and this is where you play a fretted note then follow it with its open-string counterpart, keeping both notes ringing as much as possible.
