About this course

If you're looking for online video country guitar lessons that help you sound more musical and less like you're just running through patterns, Matthew Lee's Country Licks Vol. 2 gives you another set of practical phrases built around the details that make country guitar feel authentic.

“The language of country guitar lives in its phrasing.”

Expand your country guitar vocabulary with fresh licks, stronger phrasing, and more feel.

Country Licks Vol. 2 continues Matthew Lee's approach to building usable country guitar language one phrase at a time. These easy to play licks are the kind of ideas you hear all across the style, giving you more ways to shape solos, fills, and musical statements without overcomplicating your playing.

"The language of country guitar lives in its phrasing."

Throughout the course, Matthew breaks down each lick with a focus on articulation, timing, touch, and feel. You'll work through phrases that use bends, slides, open strings, sixths, arpeggios, pedal steel inspired ideas, and other classic country sounds, all with an emphasis on keeping your playing relaxed and musical.

Whether you're continuing from Vol. 1 or jumping in here, these licks are designed to help you expand your vocabulary, sharpen your phrasing, and add more personality to your country guitar playing.

You'll practice and play with your instructor through the entire course at your own pace using TrueFire's intuitive playalongs, backing tracks, and learning tools. All of the demonstrations are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video, with controls for looping, slow motion, and fretboard animation.

You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, downloadable Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks to practice and record with.
