Learn Two EASY Country Guitar Solos - Playing Over Chord Changes Don Rich Style

[@kevinkeener]

I live in Bandera, Texas, the "Cowboy Capital of the World." I'm learning how to play country music from a Brit across the pond. The humorous irony of this is not lost on me :). But who cares! Levi, you're the Brent Mason of the UK and this is my all-time favorite KZbin channel. I bought your country compilation and working my way through it, realizing how much I suck at rhythm guitar (and I was a bass player for 35 years) and how much this course is helping me be a better guitar player. Long live the Tele, and thank you for the content, Levi!

[@LeviClay]

That makes me feel awesome! Thanks George!

I’ll do you one better, I’m a Mexican guy born in california learning country guitar from clay lol awesome video.

I did buy 100 Licks For Country Guitar…Highly recommended! Excellent book, worth the reasonable price for the Paisley, Voelkert, and Chet licks alone!

[@kingkong6666]

Excellent lesson, very well explained and really great that you work thru the lesson in context of each chord. And then re-playing it with a backing track to bring it all fully together. Context gets lost so many times in lessons. Learned a lot. Thanks

[@herrieb3241]

I think you are used to good compliments, but I must give you an absolute full 100% as well. It's been 30 years and just played occasionally for myself. With your lessons, I have progressed so much, that people are requesting me to play.....all honors to you bud...thanks a million!

[@angelgroover]

Just bought your 3 in 1 book! Can’t wait! You’re an awesome educator. Thank you. 🙏

[@LeviClay]

Thanks so much!

[@timhawthorne62]

Thanks! Just ordered 2 of your books off Amazon

[@pkbrown58]

Love this stuff. Just what I've been looking for in a tutorial but never found it. Thanks, mate!

[@joefarley9495]

very good. Love this style and it is helpful. Hope to practice it tonight! Gonna buy a book!!

[@becausehelivesministryintl6841]

Very good I've been playing Buck for a long time. Don Rich was a true guitar picker I miss him and his music

[@jamesmillsap2600]

I clicked on this video for the Monuments shirt. Great lesson 🤘🏼

[@georgeborrego7483]

I loved it. I think I will buy you book when I get some money. I like your technique.

[@LeviClay]

Awesome, thank you!

[@SpicyMcHaggis]

Awesome stuff! Like you books, but I Videos make it easier for me. Thanks, Levi!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Country is my favorite music yet the hardest for me to figure out 🤦‍♂️. I can pick out old tunes like hank Williams SR. I just hunt the notes by ear and play the melody like my guitar is singing the words. I play the words. But newer country doesn’t play out the word melody it’s just a bunch of flailing random licks tied together. It just doesn’t click in my head 🤦‍♂️

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Trying using a compressor pedal and leave it on all the time. Might help you get the feel for it.

[@shadsguitarshow]

Really enjoyed this! Great lesson format and easy to follow!

[@soundguy5813]

Start with tuning your guitar !

[@taxitwat1]

Definitely gotta get them two books can you download the tab for this too

[@agusndawitjaksono7060]

nice teaching

[@scootergreen3]

Levi Clay, did Don Rich and Buck Owen's band tune a half a step down?

[@aperezdeal]

I have your books. Great stuff.

Mr. Clay.....good beginners approach to country guitar....and the fact you focus on licks over specific chords. Instead of the usual instructional KZbin videos just playing arbitrary licks or phrases that aren't associated with a specific chord. So someone may not know the chord or chords. Licks can be used in a variety of chord configuration. But it would be nice to get a solid framework before venturing into deep water. Might be very interested in your 100 Country licks for guitar...if you are applying the same approach of telling or stating what licks are working/played on what chords....as long as the 100 ideas have a specific chord association. Better yet if you are....using or applying those 100 country licks through the entire "CHORDAL" progression. Backing tracks examples. If not....that's fine. Can someone preview that 100 Country Licks for guitar instructional video before purchasing. To get an idea. Again...if not fine. I don't want to waste your time or my money. Respectfully...

[@LeviClay]

Hey Michael I’ll be honest, my 100 country licks book is still my favourite book, because it’s so much more than a lick book. It’s a study on 20 players, how they play, studying their stuff over chords and THEN applying those licks over different chords and progressions, I make new solos out of the licks learned!

[@petersmichaeld59]

@@LeviClay .... This is and overseas venture .. What are you asking...cost/ shipping Could provide all necessary details if you wish. Last concern ...hope this isn't alot of 6ths or 3rds licks...kinda old stuff. Good stuff but a little outdated Like to see ...runs ascending/descending not necessarily the same lick going up or down.. incorporating open strings Albert Lee style chord arpeggiated like a banjo roll....or Danny Gatton style chord arpeggiated none of this is ever shown...by anyone. Usually done over a jazz voiced chord or unique voiced chord. All due respect Levi you must or probably have material that's covering decent country guitar and I honestly do like your chord/ Lick association...it's good theory. Instead of a bunch of licks with no chord foundation. State your costs...we'll see. Thanks again...for your timely response.... very appreciated. Cordially.....

[@myjames48]

Getting that sound would be interesting. Any pedals involved.?

[@LeviClay]

not even using an amp! It's a kemper profiler DrZ maz18 profile, little reverb, and that's it!

[@kulishekkulda3785]

Thnx👍 may I ask - is there any rule of using major and minor pentatonics? Why I am asking - I though by major chord I have to play major pentatonic but sometimes minor pentatonic sounds much better, thnx for reaction - short explanation and greetings from 🇨🇿🥃👍😂

[@LeviClay]

There are no rules in music, music theory describes things, it doesn’t tell you what to do. People with a real connection to music play what they like the sound of!

[@ezcondition]

this is that dirty 70s outlaw country. is that book full of licks like this? if so, i might just buy it. you should do a video with 20 or so licks at a time.

[@LeviClay]

that's my primary influence in country, so yes.

[@taxitwat1]

Ive bought the complete country guitar method compilation im struggling with chapter three the open voice triad can you help me to understand it please

[@konjunto2477]

Levi are your books geared to say traditional Country from the 1950's 1960's ? thank you

[@LeviClay]

They run from the 50s to the 90s

[@konjunto2477]

@@LeviClay Thank you much for responding. That's what I'm trying yo learn. There is a You Tube Channel called Bopflix with many, many groups from all over the world that play retro traditional Rockabilly Country style. And the beautiful thing is that nail the style 100%. Amazing.

[@LeviClay]

@@konjunto2477 no problem! Someone takes the time to watch a video and leave a comment? The LEAST I can do it read it and reply!

[@kevinrappold7795]

What kind of pedal/rig setup are you using?

[@LeviClay]

here I'm using a Kemper profiler with a Dr Z Maz18 preset

[@precisionshooters]

What pedals are you using and what are your amp settings?

[@LeviClay]

Oaft! This is years old so who knows. I assume it’s me using a maz18 profile on my kemper with some reverb - that’s it

[@sherlenspankyhorn4680]

Hi can you do those same licks on an acoustic guitar?

[@LeviClay]

Absolutely!

[@sherlenspankyhorn4680]

@@LeviClay I got to watch your video with my guitar in hand!

Levi....so 100 Country licks for guitar 7 books ....is online audio.. only..? No DVD's for standard DVD players.

[@LeviClay]

Why would it be a DVD? It’s a book

[@petersmichaeld59]

@@LeviClay my sincere apologies..must of been a senior moment...I some how got the impression it was a visual presentation..as in you playing the licks demonstrating them possibly at slower tempo ..then the tab as a reference guide...my mistake Levi... My apology for the confusion. Well...it was great work anyway.. Wish it was on...DVD. Respectfully....
