- This is an excerpt from the "Country Rhythm Guitar" 5 disc set instructional DVD and download lesson available at countryguitarch...
For this lesson example, I teach you how to play a few train beat patterns and grooves from the instructional DVD. There are 227 tablature examples and 37 jam tracks included with this course.
The 5 disc or download course includes popular rhythm patterns for the country train beat, boogie, shuffle, swing, ballads and more. Go to countryguitarch... to learn more about this course and other country guitar dvd and instructional video lessons.
I have been following Ken for a little over a year now and have purchased 14-15 of his videos. I bought this 5 disc set last week and have been having a ball. In my opinion, every guitar player, no matter your level of experience, should own this set. I have been playing lead in a band for over twenty years and a guitar picker for over 50 years and I am amazed at what I don't know. Do yourself a favor, beginner or old salt like me, and get this set. You will be glad you did. And, no this no commercial. I have never even spoken to him, just a big fan.
When you have played blues and blues rock for 10 years this is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting these.
This is great, I've just discovered your videos this week and I'm loving them. You're style of teaching is second to none, I've been wanting to get into country guitar for a while and now with your lessons I can! I've been looping this rhythm pattern on my Tele all day, it's so much fun to play. Thanks Ken.
+Luke Clayson Thanks Luke, I'm glad your enjoying the lessons. I've got the full lessons available on my website countryguitarchops.com along with the tablature and jam tracks too!
You seem like a super likable guy and you're a great teacher, thanks for your help!
You are an amazing teacher making possible to learn these rhythms so easily! Thanks!!!
Thank you.
There is so much in this lesson. I have spent a couple of days grasping the concepts. There is so much!
My favorite part about Ken's lessons (other than the fact that they are all simply incredible) is when Ken talks about how hard it is to play something slow. But then Ken playing it slow is still too fast for me! 😂 In all seriousness, though... CountryGuitarChops is thee best.
Thank you for the kind words!!
A good teacher leads you somewhere but leads something open to your own interpretation.I love those gaps Ken!
Wowzer! What a rhythm pattern. Great teaching! Thanks.
Like this rtrhym. Learning from you. It brings beginners to next level. Great sharing. I clearly feel country.
Excellent Sir thankyou. Love this country style....
I love the way you teach. I can learn from this the way do it. Thank you. I bought the mama tried cd very good stuff.
Thanks!
This lesson is fantastic by itself! I'll definitely check your complete downloadable lessons. Thanks a lot.
You're a great player! Thanks for posting these lessons.
what a fantastic lesson! thank you--really needed this to shake up my playing!
you're amazing Maestro 🙏
Dude I just played that first one bar of the riff for like an hour, that was a blast.
Love this lesson. Great job man. Thanks
Too cool. Can't wait to get learning this great guitar pickin
Phenomenal groove. Love it. Thanks!
Thanks again just getting really excited about these videos, didn't know I could learn more about playing
Ken! Fantastic playing and lesson!
These are wickedly cool sounding riffs man!
Thank you for doing this with a thumb pick. There is hope
Nice pickin'. It is incredibly difficult to slow down things we take for granted. The note value you were referring to in the basic pattern is a dotted quarter: "one and two".
Hey! Great lesson! I've been wondering how to spice up my rhytm guitar. Now I know. Thanks!
you are great man you talk my language
Thank you!
Love this stuff!
Thanks!
Fantastic licks.
Fantastic!!!
Hey! Its a superb lesson! Thanks!
Thanks for posting! The groove is in the double downs on the low E. That's the secret here. This also works fine in hybrid style (flat pick plus fingers). But in this case I prefer to play the double downs as down-up.
Great talent, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Gitte!
Disgustingly good!!
Agree !,,,, ,just a perfect lesson👍
You're Awesome! Thank you for justifying my weirdness! LOL!
What a Genuine Human Being, And Awesome Player! Great Vid!
Yeah I think this is pretty cool . Good stuff , thanks for this .👍
Wow .. It's so cool man !
Yeah, this was perfect while drinking my morning coffee :) I play guitar in a Melodic Folk/Death/Metal-band, it´s kind of different from this ;) But I love guitar and sometimes it´s fun playing this kind of style :)
Great!
Sorry if this has been posted before, but is anybody else noticing that he is playing a different rhythm than the one he is teaching? The one he is teaching actually covers 6 beats, so it would cycle every few measures. Ken, you are fantastic, but is it just me being crazy here?
+Lemon Song Duh sorry, it is 5 beats which is even more crazy in terms of cycling. Cool if this is what he intended but complicated
Hey! Awesome video! Thank you! I'm trying to work my way to become a country/rock guitar player. Suscribing!
Man you are an awesome guitarist , I was wandering if you could do a tutorial on John Conley’s back side of thirty. It would be greatly appreciated.
Great lesson as always boss! Could you make a lesson dvd for amos moses by jerry reed? That would be awesome! Great tone great playing!
Nice video!
You are Great Ken!!!
Thanks Paul!
I would like to know that the Telecaster pickups,its sound is impressive! Thanks friend
Paul Dann I used the bridge pick up on this part of the video, and I have the Seymour Duncan "Vintage Stack" in this Tele. It's a humbucker, so it doesn't hum, and it still pretty much sounds like a single coil. The mid PU is a "Strat Noiseless", and the neck PU is another Seymour Duncan version of the baby humbucker. Thanks!
CountryGuitarChops It is THE sound for that I have been looking in a TV, but there are so many pickups and marks that it is like that it could not find the way. It is sure that I am going to take one as yours, and believe that you should have a Signature "Ken Carlson".Veré here, in Argentina, if I obtain the necessary thing. A million of thank you friend!
it reminds me of the 1971 hit 'Jeepster' by UK group T.Rex
I BIN PLAYING OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT I WOULD END UP LOVING COUNTRY SO MUCH . YA NEVER NO WHEN YA START I STARTED IN 80S METALawesome. he play's this i always loved this sound .it is tough. but he helped me get better so i'm grateful but once ya get it can should like johnny cash James Burton so on ..this guys awesome doing it awesome to him. ..i'm glad i started with pick fingers 20 years ago from listing to Danny gatton . when he was alive still ..he was super to , rip
Bump cha bu ch Bu Bu cha bu cha bu bu cha ;) Thanks feller dude!
Billy Brown This makes more sense to me than the way he explained it. Lol
Nice! Now where'd I put my tele...?
very awesome i subbed ya . to listen to best always
I had found by myself cool and acceptable country melody within sounding od A, D, G, E(7) and C ...
Man I have just stumbled onto these lessons.. been playin for a while, not a beginner, but for some reason I am struggling with these “country style” pickin type of licks, and playing stable altogether. Never had any kind of lessons so I’m wondering, for a more or less beginner is there some kinda workouts to get my finger memory and what not changed from more of a minor blues style to this beautiful style?
Hi William. Man, there just isn't a quick and easy answer to your question. I can only suggest that you check out my Beginner/Intermediate Lead Course. Don't be put off by the "Beginner" part in the title, I can assure you that there is something in that section that you probably haven't mastered (just like the most of us). This course goes well into the intermediate range. I teach 8 of the most common scales used in country, and how to mix them together. There are about 80 solo examples too. It is VERY in-depth. Check it out here. countryguitarchops.com/product/beginner-lead-guitar-course/
Can you please tell me which drum machine or sampled drums you are using for this train or country beat? Great lesson! Thanks...
What I need more than anything is how to get into this picking style and build it. I played rock a lot and am not accustomed to using my fingers.. Would like a video on that or a recommendation on a song which would help me ease into it.
+Dennizzz119 Go to countryguitarchops.com and check out all my instructional videos. They are available on dvd. download and in the online members section. Thanks.
No, Sorry.
What kind of amp, pedals, settings you use to get the fat sound you got going on there?
great video, really helped. Also love the tone you got there - what effects are you using ?
Thanks Stephen! I used a slap back delay and some reverb.
Ok. Stupid question here. Just got into country and I love it. Is Ken here using a tube amp or SS? I'm guessing by that beautiful sound it's a tube. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance. Keith
Hi, I'm using (and prefer) tube amps, but don't let that stop you from trying out the SS and the digital modeling amps. If you prefer the sound of SS or modeling amps, great, just don't become one of these idiots that make it their mission to put down tube amps. Good luck!
CountryGuitarChops Thanks Ken. Yeah, I much prefer tube amps myself. And thank you for your videos, I've already learned a lot. Will buy some CD' s when I'm able. Thanks again buddy. much appreciated.
What gauge are your strings. I struggle with the stretch of your ring finger to the 5th fret from the 4th. Maybe you just have bigger hands.
I played with 9.5's for years, which are pretty easy to bend. I switched to 10's about a year ago, but the 9.5's (DaAdarrio) are certainly easier to bend.
Great video, thanks a lot! Keep up
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Not here to learn, but to hear great telecaster
Good playing my brother why not put the tab up why playing
How do get that tone, what amp, what settings?
+Greg Elliott Hi Greg! I forget which amp I used for this video, but I think it was a Twin. I have a video that explains the general settings I use for any amp, and then how I would tweak it from there. You can it here on youtube, but it might be easier if you go to my website countryguitarchops.com - Thanks!
Where can I get that exact Tele?
It's just an American Standard that I added the middle strat pup and a mini humbucker in the neck position. I sold it to a buddy a few years ago.
I don't know why, but to me the start of that pattern sounds more like AJ's "Freight Train" and less than "Chattahoochee". I stand to be corrected.
It's a rhythm pattern that will work over (and is played) over many train beat songs, and your right, Freight Train is a good example, probably better than Chattahoochee, but that's the one that came to mind at the moment, and that's the pattern I use to play it most of the time. Thanks for the input James!
Basically this is the country version of djenting.
no way I would ever get that down
I ALWAYS USE PICK FINGER . AFTER I SEEN HEARD DANNY GATTON ...IT WAS A THOUGHT OUT PROCESS TO BE UNLIMITED IN MY PLAYING AND NOT SEPARATE ANY OF THE TECS . ....AND LIKE GUYS COMMENT IT IS TOUGH .AT 1ST BUT ONCE YOU LEARN ROLLS INSIDE OUT AND DO THEM YOU'LL GET IT ..AND I JUST THROW THEM IN AT WILL. .....AND AWESOME VIDO ON THIS I ALWAYS LOVED THE TRAIN BEAT AND THESE FEELS THIS STUFF YA FEEL . AND GOOD BLUES TO YA DO ...METAL CAN DRIVE YA NUTS .LOL
To be honest I could not follow because I dont know what double-stop means.
+Univ Univeral A double stop is when you pick 2 strings at the same time.
When you play it slow, it sounds a little like T Rex Bang a Gong
That riff is so hard to play lol
are you using fake nails?
Yes, and here's a link to a video I made about them. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/vreDJqcPBX4/v-deo.html
