Country Roll

Hi folks!

Here I am with a new challenge for you, be prepared for some killer legatos and open strings technique.

I was experimenting a fusion of country and rock´roll and I got so exciting with the results I decided to bring here to share with you all.

What I do the most is the combination of the Major b7 pentatonic with the Mixolydian mode, for legato players that is a great opportunity to get the mathematical and melodic mind to fit those notes in the musical situation, I also combine m7 pentatonics with relative minor that gives you a big possibilities of melodic licks.

The challenge here is in to fit in the best soft way the legatos in the song, watch your pitch while playing the chorus ( I bend many notes there) and as always, start slow and speed up when you feel comfortable.

Now go ahead and Rock on!
