Sizzling Country Licks

Twenty-plus country licks in E, G, A and D with Bob Ryan: pedal steel bends, double stops, horn-style runs and linked runs that join into a solo.

What you will be able to play

• Play pedal steel-style bends in tune, including a whole-step pre-bend and bends against held notes.
• Play the two-octave E major scale run and the horn-style E run that swaps the flat 7th for the 6th.
• Link five runs in G from first position up to the 15th fret into one continuous country solo.
• Use open-string pull-offs and low double-stop slides to play country licks in A.
• Play double-stop licks with slides, rolls and a double-stop bend over E and A.
• Use the index-finger pull-down bend and volume swells to play pedal steel licks in D.
• Play the licks in time over country rhythm tracks in G and E and vary them into your own ideas.

Is it for you?

Intermediate electric players who already know the major and minor pentatonic scales, can bend a whole step roughly in tune and are comfortable with hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides. Ideal if you play blues or rock and want the country sound: major pentatonic mixed with blues, pedal steel bends and double stops. It is not for beginners, and it does not teach country rhythm playing, chicken picking in depth or full songs.
