Clean Country Soloing

Get an insight into how to build and play super-clean solos that touch on all manner of country styles with this rootin’ tootin’ JTC debut. Across five solos you’ll get a snapshot of country techniques and ideas so you can use them while playing over a ton of fun changes.

With the Classic Country solo you’ll need to bust out a bucket load of bends and use some chromatic licks alongside minor and major pentatonic sounds. As you take your foot off the pedal, the Country Ballad solo brings in some double stops and the signature use of open strings.

On the Train-Beat backing, you’ll be challenged to dig in to get that country spank, while keeping up with the fast paced runs. The Country Blues solo does exactly what it says on the tin, and combines the two genres with chicken-pickin’ going hand in hand with the hammer ons, slides and the blues scale. Last but not least, the Tony Rice and Doc Watson influenced lines of the Bluegrass solo, aims to to help you step up your picking and plucking so you can get the right sound.

To help you master the solos, Lew has hand picked key licks and played them nice and slow. Each lick comes with accompanying theory notes that tell you about the key concepts behind the material.

Release includes five full solos, 16 slow licks, five backings, theory notes and full tab/notation.
