  • The "Chicken Picking Ballad" is based on a 60's era pop rock rhythm with a snappy country style solo. The tone is clean and twangy. Use the bridge pickup and a hybrid picking style. This lesson is on the easier side with a slower tempo and short, simple lines. Style is key. Check out my other videos for an introduction to hybrid picking.
