Ramiro Delforte13th September 2008There's some cool bluegrass guitar man!
I liked the feel you got in this lesson.
fkalich22nd April 2008Roo moved on to new adventures Carlos, he was not here long, but he left his mark. Sure are a lot of creative guys in northern Europe. My theory is they focus on indoor activities because it is so cold outside, and they might go snow blind, so they stay indoors and practice guitar.
Carlos Carrillo28th March 2008Fantastic Lesson Roo!!

Dude, the lesson r0x, but I lean mostly by ear, and I find the heavy distortion difficult to decipher. For example, Gabriel's lessons are distorted, but I find them to be very clear. Cheers, and awesome work!

Hi!
Time for me to do a lesson in the style I feel the best in. Honestly, I haven't been taken very seriously playing blue-grass with distortion but I could play those chops during hours...
Whatever, this lesson is the adaptation of a piece I wrote. Hope you don't mind learning a few open-string licks? [...] I couldn't go thru all the former country lessons, let's say this one is a
Metal-Country mix, so not a genuine country lesson...
I will demonstrate the slow motions with a crunchy sound (softer) so that you and I, wont get a headache :)
Theoretically, we find here a main part based over "A":
A Major
A 7th
A Major pentatonic
A Mixolydian
A minor blues scale
Technically:
Open strings,
Hammer-on, pull-offs
Chicken picking
Double stops
Palm muting
