Here you’re going to learn some easy country guitar fills over a slow country song. The chords are C, F, G. I’m playing mostly 6ths. This is a very nice way of tying together chords, and it works beautifully in other styles of music too. Try this approach with some overdrive when solo over a […]
Here is a little fun lick for you. It has some diminished arpeggio runs, but I play it over E minor. You can do that with the diminished arpeggio. The last 4 notes are from the minor blues scale.
