27:18 - What We’ve Done In This Lesson
Do you feel like playing country licks or a full country guitar solo is a bit out of your reach?
Or maybe you’re not that much of a country music fan but you can appreciate a good country guitar solo enough to want to dabble in its secrets?
Either way, you’re going to get a LOT out of this video. Because we’re going to explore the building blocks of what gives country licks and solos their identifiable sound!
Over the years I’ve learned a lot of lessons on what it takes to hang with monster country musicians. As you could imagine, it was never easy. Sometimes I’d feel like they’re just as intimidating as jazz players.
But that’s because real country musicians have cut their teeth on being out there in the field and pushing the limits of guitar playing in ways that became exclusive to country guitar. I learned that they follow a certain set of rules that make them masters of their craft.
Once I realized this, I started creating my 3-Note Country Guitar Solo System to lay the groundwork of what those rules are and how to follow them yourself.
So we’re going on a deep dive to find out what makes that country guitar solo tick (you know, the one in your head right now as you read this.)
Learning this system will show you how to play by the same rules that the country guitar greats do. This is how you can begin to unravel the mysteries of how they do what they do and how to start playing country licks just like them!
In the lesson I will break down the system for you, but it won’t end there. Of course I gotta show you some badass country licks to go with it that’ll put this system into action.
You’ll even be able to take the country licks and turn them into a full country guitar solo.
So I recommend you take FULL advantage of this lesson and roll back the curtain on what makes up a good country guitar solo so you can start playing those country licks yourself!

I have been just spenning my wheels and going no where.I thank you so much for unlocking this for me.After many years and $$$$ my dream can come true.Thank you from a 74 yr. Old man.

[@edwardkeplinger818]

BOY DO I WISH THIS LESSON WAS AROUND FOR ME WHEN I WAS EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD IN 1953.WHEN I LEARNED TO PLAY A CHET ATKINS SONG BY EAR AFTER SEEING A GUITAR PLAYER IN CONCERT BY BARRING THE THE FIRST FOUR HIGH STRINGS ON THE THIRD FRET WITH MY 1ST FINGER AND THEN PICKING OUT THE WHOLE SONG FROM THAT POSITION AND THEN ON UP THE NECK ON THE 1ST. STRING. I COULD HAVE GONE ON TO BE A REAL COUNTRY GUITAR PLAYER.

[@globalereps2603]

It's so nice to see a fellow picker without tattoos sharing techniques with others who appreciate the tips.

[@daylite-uh9bt]

You just jumped over 20 years in one easy lesson. I haven't played in years and you just brought me up to date. Thanks!

[@briane.paulson]

Old dog learning new tricks. You are a great teacher. Thanks.

[@jonezen420]

Hey man. I been playing guitar over 20yrs. But just a hobby. I'm self taught. Can't read music but have a really good ear. I hit a plateau when it came to writing solos because I lack the basic fundamentals of scales and theory. Taught myself bad habits. Your videos have really reached me. I tried lots of KZbin guys and they are great. I been forcing myself to master one lesson a day from you and revisit it the next day until it sticks before moving on and I have to say? You have completely opened up my fretboard and I can't thank you enough. I was getting bored. Putting it down for a bit pick it back up few months later until I get bored again. I'm sure you get these msgs all the time but you have made me excited about guitar again. Had to reward myself with a new gretsch. Can't wait to stay on this journey. Thank you so much.

[@sleaz168]

I am 69 years old and a self taught guitar player. I am very limited on what I can do on the guitar but, this video it will help me expand my capabilities. Thank you from an old struggling guitar player.

[@meltoncory5930]

Hey I'm right behind you at 67.

[@101bluesguy]

Wow worth a Million, Thanks. Fav is luke Combs, I learned that I can do this, hey I'm 70 running out of time. Been playing since 1965.

[@101bluesguy]

@Glen Chidley Wporkin on it, but every time I turn on the camera I fall apart.

[@EM-df6mo]

Seems like a lot of us in the 70's and even 80's are getting serious about the parts we never truly understood. Wear that guitar out, the grandkids will get their own. lol

[@allencolvin5231]

I want to invent a time machine, take the stuff back to my 15 year old self, hand it over to him/me, see what I do with it. I know these tricks now, but it’s taken me years and years of playing, ours an hours and hours a day of practicing, and not being afraid to make a mistake especially while on stage and take that mistake and turn it into a good thing by using different techniques such as blues bands or other type of string bending techniques. Being a blind guitar Player precludes me from being able to see what other people are doing, so I had to spend hours and hours trying different ways and different finger exercises to get to the knowledge I currently have. A couple of years with a guitar instructor did not hurt either. I would’ve given anything to have this guy Eddie as my guitar instructor. I would’ve truly shredded bag in the late 80s and early 90s.

[@RobertJones-sp9hv]

Eddie, That was so great, I have been playing for 76 Years and no one ever told me of this. I have been teaching my great grand kids some on the guitar, boy are they in for a treat.A big Thank you. I know just what I will be doing for the summer.

[@brandtfj]

Thank you, this is how I'm spending my Saturday night..... Music keeps my mind off other current events

[@olivertwang375]

Great lesson, I live in Venezuela, my dream is to become a country music guitarist, the most difficult thing for me has been that in my country nobody plays country music, there are no bars, there are no country music teachers, everything has been by myself, I'm still learning. 1- one of my favorite guitarists is Brad Paisley, for his wrong notes and open strings 2- don't need to be afraid of solos thanks

[@colleensmith6655]

You are awesome Eddie. Love your guitar work xx

[@samcharbaji6168]

I wish I can give him a thousand thumbs up this system is Bulletproof yes I am blown away I can play country now the people that gave him a thumbs down there must be something wrong with them

[@stephatoms9801]

Eddie, I am GMM VIP member. Love this, I have learned more from you, Charlie and team in the last two years than the last 30 since I picked up a guitar. Eddie is a top notch player and teacher, if you want to finally really learn how to play check out anything Eddie puts out and Guitar Mastery Method. Forever grateful!

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

My favorite artist, Joe Satriani and somehow have found myself interseted in country lead playing. After 30 years of playing rock oriented intrumental music I'm getting to re-live discovering guitar playing. Favorite guitarist Rhett Shull.

[@mannyfoglio9157]

I'm solely a VIP member due to your lessons. Just completed the rhythm & lead workshop, which improved my skills tremendously. This is another killer lesson. Guess I'll hit the country course next!

[@dermofatyp3659]

The Journey chooses you. My Journey brought me from Rock Guitar to Funk Bass😂

[@djbillyd9849]

Eddie, you are an outstanding GUITARIST, in any genre! I'm into your "box" blues in any key!

[@fradoline]

Not only did you explain it,you also showed us how to play it. Finally,the lesson I have been waiting for has arrived. Thank you very much for this. I don’t feel so lost anymore. All I need now is time to practice and I am sure to get better. Once again,thank you! God bless you brother!

[@JayRedding12_12]

Time to practice is always the tricky part.

[@chrisgayle4360]

Honestly just walked back from the shops thinking I needed to improve my country style guitar. What a cool coincidence of timing to see this drop now.

[@timbreen8548]

I really don’t follow country, but I dig JJ Cale. The ability to turn 3 notes into 12 licks has certainly gotten my attention, Eddie. Looking forward to tomorrow. t

[@BlackRaven156]

My favorite country guitar player is probably one of these guys: Grady Martin, Hank Garland, and Paul Yandell. My favorite country artist would probably be one of theseguys: Faron Young, Webb Pierce, The Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, and Wanda Jackson. My biggest take away was to make sure I'm playing the chord tones.

[@williamtabua4269]

Fantastic lesson for a beginner. I learned something which will improve my playing country music. Thanks.

[@jtgilman]

Another awesome lesson! Eddie just rocks...I learn from all of his videos. Being a GMM VIP member has let me interact with Eddie and he takes an interest in all of his students. I don’t know how he finds the time, but he goes out of his way to respond to questions and to lend moral support. For someone of his stature in the music world to be that way is beyond awesome.

[@zensational9111]

I’m loving these TASTY tutorials

[@josephwalden6353]

Favorite country artist is Merle Haggard. I've played by ear all my life but watching your video has given me new direction in my playing and makes a lot more sense.

[@BrodyEntertainment]

Thank you bro. This is huge .. been trapped in the pentatonic / blues box and you gave me an “ I know Kung fu” from the matrix moment , only it’s “I know country “ 🥷 🎸

[@garym2213]

Wow, you are so kind to share tips like these to help us novices get ahead in our abilities. I once paid for lessons from a guy who actually said to me. " I can't show you all my tricks " when I asked him to show me some licks that might help me to learn to solo. Great teacher huh? This video is so helpful. Thank you.

[@wid521]

Grady Martin is my favorite. May God rest his soul. Best take away is viewing the tabs along with the fingerin'. That helps understanding.

[@ambisoulmusic]

"You don't choose your journey, the journey chooses you" - how true is that in music production, btw! I'm gonna have to steal your phrase after watching this :D

[@jmangi6221]

Wow! Mind officially blown! I never realized how fun country guitar is to play. This lesson is totally doable, i mean hey, if I can understand it, yes I'm old and slow, anyone can. I love Jon Anderson. His voice is just soooo cool. Especially when hes playing tunes with Mark Knofler. That's a pairing made in heaven right there. Thanks a million Eddie, I'm gonna start working on this right away.😉

[@mike-ue4wy]

Been playing quite a while and never thought about it this way. Game changer. If I could only watch one video, this is it.

[@jamesprofitt8884]

Great lesson. I too, after years of playing, stumbled onto the very thing. Keep on putting the lessons up! 1. Prolly Vince Gill; absolutely amazing! 2. Your willingness to explain the 3-note system. Most of us never had anyone that was willing to break anything down to its basic components. You just did.

[@wingdwolf56]

I been watching your videos for a while now and decided to join Guitar Mastery Method! And lo and behold! I’m already a member!! I didn’t know you and Charlie were both part of the same system! Like winning the lotto!!!

[@donaldsmith4249]

Hey Eddie, I don't have a favorite country guitar player. Best take away is being able to move licks to play along with different chords. Great lesson!

[@XLR8NXS32]

Roy Clark....You really know how to make sense of the guitar licks I have been listening to for years. Thank You Eddie

[@johnnykonkler5907]

I played guitar a little when I was younger and basically quit playing because I hit a wall....This has me wanting to buy a guitar and start playing again...you simplified things beautifully! Thanks!

[@mrs.hollerbredkennels-jana7891]

You are an AMAZING teacher my friend. I've been playing for 2 years & u taught me a couple of things that I wasn't aware of on the major scale. THANK U:)

[@timleem3609]

Great lesson. Biggest takeaway is to target the chord tones - 1, 3, 5. Fav. country artist right now is Keith Urban - great guitarist - adds a modern take to country music.

[@sandeeppaul8130]

Even though I'm from India I had love at first listen with country music and your lessons are helping me a lot... Thanks Eddie 🤭

[@dennispope8299]

Thank you so much for a great lesson. My favorite is Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Keith Urban, Merle Haggard, Brad Paisley, the list goes on and on...you get my point. They are all great! Since I'm on my box, I hate the GOAT thing. I don't believe there is a GOAT of anything. They are all artist, athletes etc. and have their own unique talents. I appreciate them all. Just like you sir. You rock man. My biggest takeaway is that being a blues fan, you showed me some great technique that can be used in both. Of course, country is blues rooted. I have been playing now for a year and a half, I have loved music all my life, but now I want to create my own. I'm 64 and I have certainly found a new passion. Thanks for your time and great energy sir.

[@marcotuliomiro8252]

Excelent lesson, clearly explained, totally transparent; no holding back anything. Thank you very much.

[@davidlegalley1161]

Fantastic lesson Eddie! A boat load of great information, explanation & visual demonstration. A lot to absorb, but you've clearly shaken the mystery out of this style of playing major chord triads! 🙏🏾👍🏽👍🏽 thank you! Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson are my two favorite singer, song writers.

[@davidrobbins2460]

My favourite is Merle Haggard, this lesson was a great eye-opener, thanks Dave UK.

[@brutusmorgan]

Eddie, love these breaks in my week. GMM has been nothing but one inspiration after another. Thanks!!!!!

[@donaldfoster5998]

I am a true beginner and have been using youtube for tutorials, I love this lesson however I find it of great benefit to have a finger placement diagram in one of the corners to help. I had a difficult time seeing which finger & fret you were using at first. I did figure it out and found it to be a fun lesson. I still have more of it to watch, thank you.

[@iamhapidays8766]

What! you made it so simple and easy to follow. As you said, "complete game changer". You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@vicbarnes1084]

Loved it - changing chord tones & all in tune

[@konjunto2477]

Biggest take away for me from this video is it opened up a little more of the fretboard in a manner that was easy to understand. Thank you so much. I look forward to rewatching this video and then checking out some of your other ones.

[@Toontex]

Wow,great teacher!Never patronising and passes on information on theory and practical tips with ease.I feel a fool for not seeing some of the things taught here before but feel like a million dollars for knowing them now.Thankyou very much.Bonus :due to your lessons my interest in jazz and country music has been awoken,so thanks for that too.

[@haladney]

Love everything you teach Eddie. I love your country GMM Lessens...

[@richardharrold4357]

Thanks again Eddy. I'm really excited to learn this vid. I'll start after feeding the horses. Have great day.

[@garybanke372]

Brent Mason is the man! Even better, I get to sit in with him on Oct. 12th for a 2 hour session being sponsored by my local guitar shop here in McKinney, TX. I am so freakin' excited. I can't wait. Eddie, you're great. My favorite GMM instructor (psst, don't tell Charlie or Owen). I caught this lesson a while back and have all the licks down pat. I'd like more, like the stuff you were playing on the lesson's lead in. That's cool stuff!! OBTW - I almost have the lead guitar solo to The Eagles, Take It Easy in the bank.

[@garyroe313]

Thank you for opening my eyes to those scales that I have played for years. Now I'm starting to get it.

[@nigelbelton4748]

WOW Eddie! That lesson has really opened up Country guitar music for me. So detailed, with clear instruction, explanation and demonstration. Can’t wait to give those four licks a go. You make it sound as if guitar theory isn’t that difficult to understand. Sorry I can’t give you a favourite artist, but the whole lesson was the best thing that I took away from it. If push came to shove, then I guess your speed of delivery was excellent. Thank you. Can you direct me to any other similar level lessons? Cheers Eddie.

[@MrGodforPresident]

thanks , taught me my first country licker

[@andrewprudente4294]

My favorite artist is Merle Haggard. Not because of his guitar playing but his presence on the stage is phenomenal. As far as your lessons, they were great. I just need to practice them more. Loved it.

[@jeffhuxford2870]

Sincerely one of the best teachers on KZbin...really had a couple great breakthroughs today! Thank you!!! Great mix of theory, slow and patient with showing what you’re doing, with no nonsense approach to theory I have known but now know better how to use it appropriately...I am a convert...I will be following you religiously. Thank you!! (Oh and now I finally understand what makes a lick a country lick!)

[@70snuttodd95]

Rolling Stone's are my favorite Country BandNow if I do this every day for a week maybe I will remember, no choice is a must. Thank you for busting down a wall

[@bennymacwilliams9210]

Vince Gill You make it look so easy and you certainly covered all the bases with such ease .. Thank you for sharing your talents and time. l

[@MyName-oq4cn]

I have been playing guitar since 1964 and found your major scale position method very useful. I started playing rock and blues and developed a country method using the 6 minor (related) chord position to develop my country style. Using that position I had a 4 finger closed scale anchor that was directly related to a blues (minor scale) fingering. I have found that this position (played modally) up and down the neck, gave my country playing access to several multi string bends related to the country style. Along with the major barre chord position, which has given my country playing an R&B feel, I find your method has given me a new insight into some areas of improvisation to explore. Although I am considered an accomplished player in my area and circles I have found this video helpful in my continued growth as a player.

[@thomasd9237]

Very cool 👍👍

[@jfk5star]

Thanks definitely going to study this for a while and have some fun with this lot of 💕 starting to enjoy the playing instead of getting lost .

[@EM-df6mo]

Favorite Country Artist: Waylon Jennings My biggest takeaway: Being able to take the 1,3,5 and use those and the notes to create an exponential endless run of riffs and solos. Great concept Sir. The possibilities are truly endless!

[@timothygould790]

My dad was one of his guitarists

[@picturegracecolb5525]

Roy Clark knows his way across and back over a guitar! 04.13/24

[@user-ux3tx8fn9y]

Awesome lesson. Just what I was looking for!,,,,

[@ricogonzales2989]

Dude, thanks for sharing your amazing gifts! 🙏🏽🤘🏽

[@randalledwards8022]

Charley pride is my favorite country singer, your explanation of what you were doing was perfectly understandable, Wilkie Nelson is probably my favorite guitarist right now

[@scottkidwell3601]

Thank you for this! My favorite country (blues, big band/ swing) artist is Lyle Lovett. I think he's pretty underrated. Brad Paisley is damn good, too. I think my biggest takeaway is relating/ targeting the chords to the scale patterns. Even after 35 years of hacking away at the guitar...

[@bdedwards9371]

I’m an old timer, so I’m a Jerry Reed and Roy Clark fan. Really got a lot from the 1-3-5 approach, something I was never taught or figured out on my own.

[@juliusorelus6219]

Wonderful , you explain it so well.thank you so much.

[@Krullmatic]

Thanks man! I play mostly rock and blues but I've been wanting to learn how to play country as well. This system is awesome! I can't wait to try it out, and I'm so grateful this showed up my recommended. God Bless, and thanks again.

[@johnosullivan6620]

Really amazing lerned more in one lesson than 10 other lessons thank you!

[@alexandrajoppe7718]

My favorite country artist is Merle Haggard. My biggest takeaway is that I don't need to be afraid of solos!

[@tuinasogasaqabola-ps1zw]

It's amazing I have been struggling for some time, now I understand . Thanks.

Wow, best lesson ever for a beginner or even above that...I am totally inspired..thank you..more more

I like you man....just what I needed as I've gotten stale in., blues and rock....I know major scales but never really learned how to use it ....thanks brother

[@mikeramlall6684]
