Bop Style Lick on Country Guitar
Hey! This is Josh from The Mother Truckers trying to go over some of the classic country licks. I've seen a lot of guys do use a kind of bop style approach. What I am doing is I'll do this lick to illustrate a way to get to the end of a song. So what I am doing here is I'm taking this sort of E major chord and even throwing in a 6. You could think of it as this major chord, bring the 5 up one step and you have your E 6 and you throw in that natural 7 as well. So slowly the lick would sound like this. What I've done is just I swept along that E 6 and I sweep down. So one more time up to speed.
