    Alright I just worked this out for 2 hrs. Great concept. The way I see it is to look at it like you’re playing double stops of the “chords” in the major scale and add in the minor scale in certain places along with the major scale. But mainly the chords. Thanks!

    This guys got the timing nailed. Years of bad blues playing has warped my timing. This is great. Thanks for this.

    • @stevetharms
      @stevetharms  Рік тому

      Yep, don’t sleep on the flat 7! Once you start to recognize it you hear it all the time in country and blues as well. It’s part of the minor pentatonic scale so as you’re playing that scale you can make a point to land on the flat 7 there as well

    @chazmichael7967 Рік тому

    That shape of the G and bar shape is an A7 arpeggio, I'm sure you already knew that just for anyone watching. It's crazy how much of country is actually the right hand technique because I know a decent amount of theory but I don't play with a pick so I can get that snap with the high strings but that ghost note which is so essential is really hard as of right now....I also never play that fast lol. Great video, clearing up some questions I had about technique as well as cementing some theory.

    Love your lessons but could I make a suggestion? Could you do more of your lessons in the key of G and D? While I know A is a pretty popular key in classic country music, G is by far the most commonly used key and D is fairly common as well, especially down here in Texas, where we are still making country music. Nashville, not so much 😢
    That way we can go straight into using these techniques and not have to start off with transposing these to the aforementioned keys. Just a suggestion, Thanks

    Great lesson, Steve!! Wow!! Quick request, and I'm sorry if anyone here has already asked it... can you please share your signal chain? I hear a comp and delay? Maybe a little reverb? Or is that strictly the delay? And if you wouldn't mind... what do you set your delay to? Msec and mix if possible?? I know that's a weird request, but I believe a lot of what we are "hearing" comes from this setup as well as the note choices. Thanks again for the lesson!! Liked, Subbed and Shared!! 🙏

    • @stevetharms
      @stevetharms  Рік тому

      Thanks for the comment! I have a video on my channel where I go into my whole signal chain for this tone! (Look on my channel for “How to get country tone”) as far as delay goes I normally want it a little over half as loud and anywhere from 120 to 150 milliseconds
