Preface
In this edition of my interactive book
we are going to focus on adding the se-
cond (2nd, 9th) and the sixth (6th, 13th)
of our scales into some popular runs
and licks for guitar.
You should have some working know-
ledge of chords, arpeggios and the pen-
tatonic scale system on your guitar in
order to get the most out of this interac-
tive workshop.
Guitar fun awaits you, lets begin…

And remember that old cowboy saying:

Pro Licks
Be a pro and sound like a pro.
In this section we give the final touch to our Country
Licks. Many of the licks introduced here are must
play licks in the country style to make an authentic
country sound. You will sound like a real country
player with these techniques.
The real secret to spicing up your lick vocabulary is with Pro Lick 1
some great country techniques like, behind the nut bending
and chicken picking.
Film 3.2 Pro Country Lick 1 over G7
The following video footage is of the right hand doing the
chicken picking technique.
