  • Welcome to the "Spy Twang" lesson. This one is inspired by some of my favorite twangy sounds of the 1960's spy movies. This lesson features several different picking techniques as well as some unusual licks based on diatonic minor seconds, and tritones. The tone is meant to be super twangy. I'm playing on the bridge pickup and picking as close to the saddles as I can using a light overdrive, some delay, and lots of spring reverb.
