Description

This is the second lick in our bluegrass solo, this one goes from the 1 to the 4 Chord. Then you add a Bb note to make it a C seventh chord.


Watch the up and downstrokes on the pick, this one has a lot more going on than the first lick did.


The first part of this is a mix of Doc, and Merle Watson, and some more Tony Rice. The other part is a Clarence White lick, that I played a little differently in this lesson. Flat picking bluegrass run # 3


I use these licks often when I'm flat picking bluegrass, and also variations of them when I'm picking country on a tele.


It's back to the G chord for the next lick, and we'll cover the most famous bluegrass lick of all. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Bluegrass Solo lick # 1. Then you can see how they fit together, to make up this bluegrass solo.


Again, learn these licks slowly, and don't worry about the string noise at slow speed. When the speed comes, the string noise will not be heard.
