Modern Telecaster Shred with Andy Wood Introduction
Enter the world of Andy Wood as he teaches a must watch series on modern country guitar playing. Starting at the core, Andy walks us through how to build your tone, use chicken pickin, understand harmony, make use of altered lines, and use both hybrid and cross picking. By the end of the series you will be able to craft your own solo, apply and master the use of creative harmony and play just a little bit more like the venerable Andy Wood.
Precise Alternate Picking
So how does Andy Wood pick so quickly and with such precision? Level up your speed and accuracy with Andy's near-flawless technique including exercises and tabs to boost your progress. You will improve your hand synchronization, discover if you are an outside picker or an inside picker, and be able to apply it to your own playing.
Effective Alternate Picking Practice
Andy shares his history and talks of his background playing the mandolin. He also further expounds on alternate picking and teaches multiple great practice examples. Finally, he breaks down the finite details that usually get overlooked.
Cross Picking
What is cross picking and how can you utilize it in your guitar playing? Andy breaks down the basics and shows examples at different tempos. In addition, you will learn a few lush licks that you can add to your country music toolbox.
Hybrid Picking and Double Stops
Sometimes you want your notes to pop out and have aggression. Andy Wood talks about different ways to grab or pluck the string. He shares his vast knowledge on hybrid picking, and as a discusses his personal preferences when using double-stops.
Double Plucking
This lesson has a strong focus on pickling. First, Andy Wood explains a technique he lovingly refers to as "double plucking." Then he dives into different voice leading licks that not only sound cool, but help you work on string control when picking and plucking. Andy then tells us the importance of having energy and attitude and how to express that on the instrument.
Palm Muting & Ghost Notes
In this lesson we learn two common techniques that grant authenticity to country music: palm muting and ghost notes. Learn how to properly use both techniques to enhance your playing and give it some flavor.
