Hi GMC!

The "Slow Country Waltz Solo" lesson covers a moody country solo in 3/4 time. The tempo is nice and relaxed and opens the door to insert a little extra emotion. We will utilize the idea of soloing around first inversion bar chords influenced by Brad Paisley, linked steel guitar style bends, and a tasty open string pull-off lick and behind-the-nut bend.

This lesson includes the following techniques:

Country-style hybrid picking
Open String Pull-Offs
Double-stops
Natural Harmonics
Behind-the-Nut Bends
Steel Guitar Style Bends
Hammer-Ons
Pull-Offs

Key: G

Chords: G, Am, Bm, B7, C, D, D7

Time signature: 3/4

Tempo: 80bpm

Scales:

G Major Pentatonic V.1 (videos 2 and 3)
