Twangology III
Hi all countryguitar players! I´m back again with a new lesson full of Smokin´Hot Country Guitar Licks, this month in the key of E. Just like when playing in G, all the open strings in standard tuning are available.
This solo is a lot inspired by Brent Mason and Johnny Hiland. (actually you´ll notice that I have borrowed some notes from the Brent Mason tune “Hot Wired”, but with a different fingering..) The key of E is great when it comes to playing long chromatic runs, like the ones in bar 3 and 4. When playing these kind of runs you´ll have to find a picking technique that works for you. I normally use the same picking pattern with my flatpick as many thumbpick-users do; middle, pick, ringfinger,pick, middle, pick, ringfinger, pick….

Good luck, and see you next month! Please visit my Youtube-channel for more TWANG…
Best wishes from Marcus, Sweden.
Another great one Marq, thanks!
Perhaps you could turn the lights on next time.
Thanks man! Unfortunately the lightbulb was broken… But I promise to get a new one untill the next video! =)
Cheers!
That was really really excellent—love the tone—is that slapback delay?
Very helpful, especially the the downloads. Keep it up!
Hi Marq
Thanks for a great lesson – fantastic detail and I love the tone
Having it real speed, then slow with music to look at, then fast again is a really nice way to receive this in. Thanks for doing these.
Like I am gonna be able to get this but I might drive my neighbors to drinkin (more) while tryin (a sacrifice I am prepared to make)
thanks again
Hi Mark,
Great video… where did you get the backing track for it?
thanks,
John
great lesson mark…think I’ve got it down now..just tryin to get it up to speed..maybe in another lifetime haha..thanks for sharing
OAH KAIGH! TWANGISIMO!
I remember you from on-line video. Practiced open scales like a big dog in ‘G’, ‘A’, ‘C’, and ‘D’, then forgot
your handle. Signed up here, and, BAM. There ya’ are. Sweet. I’m ready ta’ git’ back ta’ twangin’ Q style.
I can’t play like that.
Wish all your videos Marq had those screen notes. Sure would make this stuff easier to work on. Took two weeks of every day playing to get all 12 measures to sound even close. Man can you ever burn the strings off that Tele.I’ve been playing for since 1955 and can’t even come close.Oh well ! I quess that’s why Twangin’ is so much fun to learn.Keep up the good pickin’.
