Chicken Pickin': Fast 12 Bar Blues in A

[stevengorum]

As an advance 30 year pro guitarist.... I like this guy's style.... He gets down to business!!! He don't sit there and talk about what he's going to do for hours and hours.... he just gets down to business !!!! Love em🤗

That is excellent! I'm a blues/rock/fusion player for about 40 years but I have a fairly small vocabulary of country chops. Your very clear delivery and professional presentation make this a quick, painless and relatively easy to absorb addition to my arsenal. Every once in awhile I find myself in that country arena where I have to throw down. This will definitely help. Thank you!

I hate to be just one more person sayin "good job", but this video is amazing... And kind of an answered prayer, too... The main lick of this has been stuck in my head for months... I've been playin for over 25 years, and only started learning chicken pickin and country lead about 6 months ago... I know, I know, I've read about 20 comments that all say that very thing... But when I picture "chicken pickin" this lick is one of the first things I think of... But I never QUITE knew how to play it... I could "kinda" play it in E, lol... But that rhythm gets me every time! I always wanna fall into a 2/4, alternating bass line thing... Thank you SO much... You really are an excellent player with amazing technique... But you're an even better teacher...
