Hi, I’m an old guy who has been in rock/blues bands. I love country and appreciate you taking time to make these techniques more easily understood. You play flawlessly, too. Wonderful, sir. Thanks again.

I’m a guitarist. Always played rock and pop. But I never played country. But after watching this video I have realized there is soooo much for me to learn. Thank you for this wonderful video. I’m literally a beginner again 😅

@@jackieandthesheetmetals I believe SS (no humbucker) Telecasters are an excellent choice for country, especially if the pickups are not high output impedence.

I've been playing since I was 5 years old. I've worked on everything from rock, blues rock, jazz, R&B, to disco. The hardest thing I've ever worked on is " chicken pickin' ". All of lives we teach ourselves to let every note ring clear and to hit it cleanly. In Chicken Pickin', every 2 or 3 notes is muted. It really takes a while to get a handle on it. Great lesson!

Great playing and great instruction, also I love the look of that tele. Omg it's a work of art.

My grandparents had a small club in Silver Springs,Nv back in the 60's 70's. They had a house band of older retired musicians who played Reno for years. Slim the guitar player taught me "Chicken Picken " and other tricks. His wife Kathy looked and sounded like Loretta Lynn. Good memories!

Thanks Stuart, I'm a fairly advanced intermediate and this video really filled in some gaps in my country playing which I started later in my guitar life. Keep it coming. Ron

Great practical examples for more advanced players who want to add more country to their playing.

Great to see you out there helping players Stuart. Jules

Thank you for your very useful country guitar playing lessons, I'm looking forward to learning more through your videos.😊

Such great guitar tips and techniques. I’m going to be implementing this stuff into my practice.

Excellent tutorial! Short and direct. Well done!

Fantastic, more of a prog and hard rock guy but always admired Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Brad Paisley. This helped tremendously in breaking down some of those techniques and they're incredibly fun to try and master.

Great video, I especially loved the open string section, very well explained.

Didn't know Stuart Ryan had his own YT channel!? He's a stonkin' guitar player and I've got a lot of his articles in magazines like Guitar Techniques and the DVDs they put out several years ago.

Incredible video as always! I've learned more watching your surf guitar and country guitar videos in the last 20 minutes than I have in the last 2 years with rhythm and technique!

This is so valuable! I have been at this style for decades, but this adds a lot to my creative options. Thank you!

Thanks a mil for this great video. I love your amazing playing too.

marvellous stuff. whilst here I was encouraged to buy your soul rhythm book so plenty of fun to be had whilst I create my own musical mayhem. thank you

Great stuff Stuart, thanks! I can incorporate these licks into my traditional British folk band, goes quite well, Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Pentangle, that sort of thing. Best wishes from England!

Thank you, great video and really appreciate the tabs

Hi Stuart, Thanks for this! I am in the midst of putting fills on a song I just recorded and this has been helpful. Most of it Ialready knew, but I also learned a lot. You make a great teacher and are obviously a very good picker as well!

Fantastic video really help me in my search … well done great stuff love it ❤️

A really great lesson, Stuart. You are a great talent in so many aspects of guitar. It would be interesting to see something on adapting the bends for acoustic guitar. As a banjo player, I would just mention, in addition, that the classic banjo forward roll is not TIM, TIM, TI, but is TIM repeated against the bar lines so your thumb is on beat 1 of every 4th bar - Earl's major contribution, and what gives bluegrass its drive. Works the same way for TMI (the backward roll). The other classic banjo licks are not grouped in 3s, but are more like regular guitar fingerpicking. The open string lick also comes in part from banjo, so called 'melodic' banjo as introduced by Bobby Thompson and Bill Keith. I would really recommend anyone serious about banjo rolls to get a beginner bluegrass banjo tutorial, even if you never play the banjo. Earl's book is great, and Pete Wernick has loads of stuff out there, a lot of which is free. Cheers and thanks again.

This is an amazing video. Straight forward and easy to follow.

Great lessons 😎

Cool stuff! You nailed the really signature country licks!

Great Video. I always thought the chicken picking was with the right hand ( a sort of hybrid) which was why I couldn't do it. Now, thanks to you, I can. Thank-you.

Very good perfect teaching.thanks

You forgot to mention that you need a Telecaster with ash tray and brass saddles as well. 😁

Terrific lesson !

You mentioned Albert Lee a few times - I've always loved his playing on Clapton's "Just One Night" live album, recorded in '78 or so, and spent some time learning his tasty solo in "If I Don't Be There By Morning"....

Albert is such a great player! Thanks for watching!

Play the D cowboy chord up an octave. add the pinky to make it the sus4. hit that and bend that first finger up a tone. Hit that again but play just the major chord. now slide down to the 9th fret and play the same shape, hit that once, then last hit you play the sus4 while bending the first finger on the G string up to finish the lick. Its a total of five chord strikes w/bends and or w/added 4th.

This is great. Thanks for sharing this big group of techniques as a country hit list. Good luck with the book and channel!

Great lesson. Thanks, Stuart!

I'm from TN but have always preferred blues, however, there's no doubt that blues and country have crossed tracks many times, even rock/country. I can strum chords and keep up with most country songs and being exposed to country all my life the rhythms in country come pretty naturally but the lead parts are difficult for me.

I recently started doing steel style bends also on the D string. Slightly different fingering, and more push needed on the thicker string. You also need to use the little and 3rd finger on the upper 2 strings, rather than the little finger on both. I've always used little+3rd finger on all the upper 2 strings, 'cos I'm often holding that bend (+ the lower of the upper 2 strings), and playing another line over it on just the top string, using the little + 1st finger.

Awesome lesson. Thanks

Great lesson but even better is your old well-worn Tele. We note how the main used sections of your guitar are the top four strings from the 12th fret up to the 21st, and the top fours strings from the 1st fret up to the 7th. How many times have you had that thing serviced? The electrics, pots, pickups, machine heads (tuners), nut etc have all hung in over that time?

His gear description includes the phrase "Heavy Relic" with the Telecaster, so I think it's not nearly as old as it looks. It is a great looking guitar though.

Do you have any video showing how to step by step learn the open string lick and chicken picking lick? Also do you happen to have any video that teaches how to spice up country songs in D, G, E and A?

Great video with some good info and very authentic tone. I don't know about calling it modern though. More like the 90's. Don't worry, I still think the 90's was just a couple years ago too!

8. Slap-back delay and room reverb hides my mistakes. Thanks for this. Good lesson.
