Chicken Pickin'
In this first section, you'll dig into one of the mainstays of country music - chicken pickin. This is a technique that you have heard many artists do, so it is not only fun, it's essential
TIP! Soloing is more than just licks. You need to understand the correlation between phrasing, melody and harmony. Becoming a good soloist is as much if not more mental than physical.
When you are working on various soloing concepts, ask yourself questions like - What chords will this approach work over? What groove or feel does this solo fit best over? What is the best note choice for this part? How can I get from here to there in the solo? Are there other scale options? Does my solo have a beginning, a middle and an end? - Or am I just rambling on.
Asking yourself these questions as you are beginning to build up your soloing chops will help make sure you are really thinking about what you are playing and working on. If you put in the time on this now, it will eventually lead you to the ultimate place for soloists where you won't have to think about any of it at all - you just play!

Chicken Pickin': Study 2
Chicken Pickin': Study 2 - Introduction is a video guitar lesson presented by Jason Loughlin and is sourced from Country Guitar Survival Guide: Lead Edition.
This variation includes some licks inspired by three of my favorite guitarists, Danny Gatton, Chet Atkins and James Burton. Just seeing their names together in a sentence is inspiring. We are going to incorporate double stops and chord shapes into our chicken pickin'. I first heard Chet Atkins rake through a chord on his solo in Yakety Axe. I've since heard Danny Gatton use this technique on countless solos. It's such a great sound and it takes little effort. My favorite combination! One of the other key licks in this instrumental is one that James Burton uses quite a bit. It has become one his 'calling card' licks. We are going to be bending one note of a double stop and slowly releasing the bend as we pick back and forth between the two notes. James does this with a thumb pick and fingerpick on the index finger. It cuts right through the band. We are going to be learning it with just the flat pick and the index. You can hear James using this lick on a lot of his leads. Check out his solo on Emmylou Harris's version of Ooh Las Vegas.

A Chicken Pickin'
A Chicken Pickin' - Overview is a video guitar lesson presented by Johnny Hiland and is sourced from Ten Gallon Guitar.
Now we're going to get into a fast action train beat, or a faster country groove in the key of A. This one is moving pretty fast so I'm going to play a lot of cool different stuff. I'm going to showcase some open string guitar licks, like in the key of D, and I'm going to fly around in a scalar way in the key of A and use some cool things where I do some steel guitar bends. I'm definitely going to use the double stop horizontal run that you learned in section 1. I'm going to mix it up with a really cool blend. This is a 14-15-11 kind of thing that rolls by a couple of times. It's really fast and a whole lot of fun. So hold onto your hats because it's going to be a good time!
