  • Greetings from Granada (Andalucia, Spain)!

    In this lesson I play a Country Folk song using Hybrid Picking technique to play arpeggios. The song has 4/4 beat with 6/8 feeling, that's why I use triplets. There is a certain difficulty in measuring the beat, the drum playing 4/4 and the acoustic rhythm guitar playing 6/8. It sounds like Albert Lee music.

    Music Style:
    Country Folk

    Tonality & Chords:
    D Mixolydian (G Major)

    Techniques:
    legato, slide notes and hybrid picking

    Sound:
    I used a Telecaster Hot Rod 52' with a little of delay and overdrive.

    Tuning:
    Dropped D tuning: D,A,D,G,B,E

    Tempo:
    125 bpm. (Slow parts at 65 bpm)
