Description
In this week’s guitar lesson, you’ll learn how to play a classic country lead. I’ll break everything down and explain where all of the notes come from so that you can start to use some of these country licks when you improvise. The MP3 jam track is available in 2 tempos as well.

Great lesson for my new Telecaster….I’m digging it!
Wow!! Where did U get that cool looking Strat, Brian!!?? This is Nashville but also Texas sound as well!! Definitely well worth getting this style down especially if you love playing in a successful working band!!! Jim C.
I think Brian is playing a Jeff Beck Strat. Notice the nut and color.
Also, has the Jeff Beck signature on the end of the headstock.
Great Lesson!! Love that style.
Hot DANG! Looks and sounds fun!
Love these country lessons! Can’t get enough twang!
Love this one Brian,nice and easy and sounds cool.Time to grab the Tele.
Absolute Genius. Dwight Y. and I thank you!! Love the twang… love the country. Keep them comin’!
A fun lesson to learn with some great takeaways.
Thanks Brian

You always give the greatest aways.
Thanks Brian
Love it! It’s like Pete Anderson, Bill Kirchen, and Brooks and Dunn’s “Workin’ On My Next Broken Heart” all rolled up into to one lesson.
Also, possibly the first time I’ve seen someone play twangy guitar on a surf green Jeff Beck Strat. LOL
How about a MicroSession on the Rhythm track?
Thanks Brian!
Brian, I’m not even into country at all, except for a little KU, but you sure make it sound so attractive and now I want to have a go at that, too!
Also, your intros are so informative, I learn a lot just from your introductions, especially when you explain the gear setup, thanks so much!

Thanks Brian. This one alone is well worth the price of admission! My favorite lesson so far!
G/day Brian,
This is excellent! A keeper for sure!

Thanks for this awesome lesson and wonderful website. I’ve learned so much here. This lesson really adds to your already incredible library of guitar instruction. Thank you!
I am always amazed at how many different styles Brian can do……..and do well……..he is definitely not a “one trick pony.”
Great lesson ! I have a Nashville Deluxe Tele I’ve been wanting to play more. Perfect reason here!
BTW, this background is much preferred to the white. It gives a little depth and is easier on the eyes. After years of takiong your lessons, I’m still excited every week to seee what’s next. You never dissapoint.
Great!
More twang, PLEASE!
Nonetheless to say, it’s perfect lesson, but i’d like to ask you if you have time consider country that sounds like EP 250 although this one is perfect as well.
Thanks. Brian

Just a lot of fun lesson….really great Brian.
first impressions I love it , it’s proper country and pure pedal steel type county twang . Although there are some brilliant previous country lessons I don’t believe we have gone this twangy before . Big Thumbs up for this one am i’m a bit of a rocker lol
Nice lesson to diversify a bit. I have never really played much country style but I do enjoy it. Curious how you would instruct another guitar to accompany this in the rythym section.
The country lessons are my favorites!
In my 3 years with you this is the best lesson yet for me. It really hit the nail on many levels with many excellent tips. Thanks again Brian for your great site.
My new favorite!
John Fogerty plays “Cotton Fields” almost exactly like this……well worth while learning!
Very cool lesson Brian! Think your selling yourself short on the Country picking skills.
Any chance you could do some Cody Jinks? Especially Adobe album or a couple of albums back he has a Bluesy/Country song called Fasthand.
Thx.
FYI, because of this lesson and the way you teach for a single guitarist(can’t find jam buds anymore), I joined!
I love country, a lot this is my first time of joining this site,,, i want to get used to all of the stuff about country, guitar style. Tnx Brian
Fantastic…..thanks this is a good one
