- Hello music Lovers! Welcome to episode 5 of The Woodshed! due to the tons of feedback and requests, this episode is gonna start you on the path of country Telecaster, chicken pickin, Brent Mason inspired playing. We are gonna jump in and tackle the fundamentals of right hand picking, hybrid playing, finger pluckin, and string popping. We are gonna look at the basic harmonic outline and see what note alterations in the major scale will give you that delicious southern fried redneck sound. From there we get into some basic bends and lastly we get some double stop fundamentals. This is NOT a "here is lick A, B, C" this lesson is meant to give you a good foundation of tele chicken basics. Then we are gonna talk about how to take your own playing and licks you already use, and how to twist them to give them a southern sound. So put down that dual humbucker shredder guitar and go grab ole Pep Pep's telecaster, its time to take walk on the wirey side!! Thanks for all the comments, love and support. Let me know below what you'd like to see in future episodes. Hope you guys enjoy this! Be sure to jump over to Andywoodmusic.com for more lessons, gear, dates, and merch. Cheers!

Andy is one of those rare combinations of being an incredibly consummate player as well as a highly gifted teacher.
Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge. Keep up the great content.
What a fuckin guy man aswell as a multi instrumental genius
First of all, thank you the lesson. Secondly, thanks for calling us "kids". I'm old enough to be your father and it brings joy to have somebody can me a kid because my brain thinks I'm a kid.
All this stuff was Greek to me not long ago, even after playing for 38ish years. You made it fun to learn.
FFS!! Andy is fantastic!!! I absolutely love the scale/passing note breakdown. Thank you so much Andy for this pure gold you are sharing. Beautiful
I can't for the life of me understand how 3 people gave this incredibly good lesson a thumbs down Andy. It's free, it's absolutely top class, and it's extremely educational for anyone interested in adding "chicken pickin" to their guitar playing! I'll have to have a word with Brent Mason, Albert Lee and Dan Huff! :-) Keep on doing what you do - I'm sure all your subscribers would agree that you are both first-class and very classy.
Must have been the metal gods
Must have been wanting licks and not the theory so they could build their own sound.
They wanted the video to last longer then 26mins... lol
You can't understand... no need to say anymore
Funny you say that, the other day I found out I had disliked a video by accident and found out about it only a couple weeks after. It may just be an accident.
I love that you broke down the major scale and pointed out the notes and nuances that make things sound country. Until that I couldn't tell you what it is but I know it when I hear it. I also love that you're not just teaching licks but instead showing why and how the notes work together. I mean licks are great and all but if you don't know where they come from and why they work you just know a lick, you are teaching a style. Great stuff I will definitely be working on these concepts.
30 year rock player, this is a perfect stepping stone to some cool picking techniques, thank you.
You videos are pure gold Thanks alot Andy !
I love this kinda woodshedding - These lessons are really great - quite inspiring
Absolutely love the way you put things. You take the mystery out of it in a way that is so easy to understand. Thank you Andy!!
Sooooo entertaining! Thanks Andy for bringing down to earth...
Always love watching and listening to you play. Thanks for giving some good chicken pickin fundamentals and a nice little lesson!
Wow! Just Wow! This is one of the best lessons I've ever seen and I've seen thousands!!!
That is such a great lesson - just what a needed to get me going! Andy is awesome!
Absolutely dig your playing and really like that you’re showing technique to develop personal style and ideas! Thanks and can’t wait for more of your lessons.
So practical so humor and I'm so love it!!!!
Simple and straight to the point.
Deconstructed and clear.
Love it!!!
What a terrific lesson!!!!! Thank you!
Awesome work Andy! Such a well rounded approach across the whole style as always.
Super lesson once again Andy!.. Thank you so much:)🎶🙏
Andy, your tone and playing are impeccable. Really inspirational stuff
That's the best lesson I've watched in a long time. Thank you sir!
I love your approach to teaching!
Hell yes. Super helpful. You're a great teacher. Thanks Andy.
This is one of the best lessons I've ever seen. You sir, have a life long fan here. Amazing.
Great stuff! I wish this had been out there when I started. I had to learn all of this stuff the hard way - by listening to recordings and watching people play! This is presented in a very easy-to-learn, humble, professional way - excellent teacher!
This is a really great lesson from one of the masters of this style. Thank you for making this available to everyone. Watching this really makes quarantine bearable.
Amazing lesson, you have a gift for explaining things!
Thanks Andy really enjoying these lessons 👌
This has been the best vid for me. So simple to follow, you made a huge breakthrough for me! Thanks
FANTASTIC lesson, Andy. I've been playing for a while but I appreciate you starting from scratch on the chicken-picking thing. Good sense of humor as well.
One of the best taught classes I have seen. You have a natural ability to teach so please keep the videos coming!
This is such a great lesson. Being a German, I dig that southern accent. Thanks a lot sir
You are awesome Andy! Many thanks for making your videos
Thanks Andy,
Great lesson! Just what I was looking for. Great overview and I’m looking forward to more lessons.
Andy, one fine lesson with solid information. Very useful and accurate.
Andy, this is great man, thanks!.. This is exactly what I need to get that country sound under my fingers
I like the alter call at the end. Phenomenal from start to finish!
Phenomenal video Andy! I love your style, the fluency in your phrasing and your tone. Every video you do makes me want to pick up the guitar again!
Keep uploading this type of lessons you inspire me to pickup my guitar to practice everyday!
Thank you Andy Wood for this lesson! I love this style and been working on it the last 10yrs using your approach. The thing I find fascinating is each reknown country guitar players interpretation of all those things and the nuances that make up the sound and style. Each wonderful, and each slightly different. Coming from the 60's and 70's, information like this back then and the tools we have today to make it known would have changed the landacape in major ways. We really have far less excuses to NOT BE really smoking guitarists. I know you insist on one hand you're not here to spoon feed, but to me personally your generosity of easy to follow instruction is off the hook, and I thank you profusely for it. You love what you do and it shows. Excellence!!!!!!!
Thank you sir. Thank you for being generous with your time and talent.
I'm stoked brother, thank you!
The Tele looks and sounds great, 1st class lesson 👍
I could listen to him talk guitar all day. Excellent stuff Andy! Thank you.
This is the best lesson on chicken picking i've ever seen. Thank you Andy

One of the best explanations. Great lesson.
Wicked player, great teacher & a cool dude. Thanks Andy
I have been playing for years professionally and you inspire me👍🇺🇸

Gold mine of guitar knowledge. Thank you!
This is great. Thanks so much Andy.
Dude! this is an amazing lesson. You take the sting out of the theory and provide a really strighforward apparch to understaning the harmony. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed the lesson. Thank you Andy, I’ve been playing for years but was afraid to get into chicken picking, your teaching technique inspires one to get into it. Thank you my friend.
How can anyone dislike a free lesson ? Crazy. Thanks for this excellent :-)
Andy is a great player and teacher love the lessons
Best job I've seen integrating country picking into an understandable cool method. Thank you sir!
Wow 😮 I can finally say I found exactly what I was looking for, thank you brother for just doing you!
Great lesson, I really appreciate you teaching the fundamentals and not just licks.
I like your approach to teaching. No BS involved, just right into the heart of the matter.
He's totally amazing !!!! I love it !
Amazing. You demystified an awful lot here. Great teacher.
brilliant video, I've been playing for decades and finally got round to try some chicken pickin. You explain it brilliantly ( and are very good player btw) thanks
Finally! Someone showed me how to use my right hand to get more creative! Great lesson. Thanks
Thank you for helping me and my Tele! Just opened my world to cool country licks. Please do a part 2 on that pedal steel vibe!
What a great teacher!
I have been a rock and blues player for 40 years. I always said this country playing is the best I've ever heard. I too loved some 90s country and Brent. I have been trying to learn it, but never could get those half steps in place. Now I know, when you explained by intervals, my brain exploded. Thank you. I have learned more in 20 minutes than in 6 months.
Great lesson. You cleared up so many points I've never been sure about. I can now move on with a bit more confidence.
This is great. For players who are new to this style of playing and those who have some experience under their belt. It's always good to have a pro take us back and revisit the fundamentals. Sometimes we get moving along too quickly and skip some critical basics. Plus Andy, there is plenty of cool chops in your demonstrations here to grow from throughout this weeks Woodshed.
I love that you teach the approach versus specific note for note licks. Thanks again for this channel.
Thanks Andy Wood, I got a lot out of this tutorial and I'm sure I'll get more the next few ( dozen) times I watch it. You are great at explaining the mechanics and techniques. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks again !
This is fantastic. Thanks so much Andy! ‘Hot Wired’ is one of my favourite albums ever
Love the videos. I will have to watch them multiple time to digest them.
Wow!!!!! Excelent Andy!
Hi Andy, man thank you for this series, awesome videos.
"Minor or Major? Why not both?let's treat ourselves? " Dude I like your style, now I'm a fan 👏👏👏👏
You are an excellent teacher.
Thank god.. I have had a hell of a time finding someone that explains the right hand. Thanks man!
I enjoyed the playing and the lesson so good work on your part. I appreciate folks like you that share your skill and knowledge. It’s very gracious of you and I thank you.
Peace
You're the best of the best Andy!
Thanks, Andy. Amazing!
Great job. I did learn and injoyed the video, and your playing also.
Man I love the lesson, love the style the speed everything! I’ve searched dozens of chicken picking intro lessons and you were exactly what I’m looking for. Very inspirational appreciate!
This is amazing man. Please keep it up!
man i have been slingin a guitar for almost 40 years...you explain this style very nicely. thank you
Awesome job... I’ve been a chicken picker since I first heard Albert Lee in 1983, then just like you, pick it apart in the 90’s huge Brent fan forever, keep these up, awesome!
Thank you so so much for this. I'm a songwriter trying to expand my understanding of guitar, and this is one variation of that I want to really learn. Really appreciate the video.
ANDY, you are fabulous. I cannot understand how nice your attitude and musical understanding is. It is fantastic to look at your videos. Your point is - I show and you learn. Then apply it. Excellent stuff!
Probably one of the best lesson i've watched on this type of picking & playing. Great player & Teacher.
Great player love his teaching
Excellent lesson! I like the way you say here is what we are going to cover, and present it in terms of examples and explain the intervals - not fret positions! Teaching us how to fish! BTW, when I first heard you play about five years ago, I immediately heard you definitely have your own, distinctive guitar thing. Thank you for The Woodshed.
Outstanding! Thanks so much!
I really dig your style of teaching. Got a lot out of it. Thanks.
Brother this is the most helpful video on this topic I’ve ever run into! Appreciate it man 🙏
This guy plays so well I hit like just for the video intro! Great playing!
Superior instruction thank you Andy for taking the time and effort to teach. This will take me some time but it's most excellent your class. Brent Mason is a great person to teach from being he's so darn good.
