YEEEEEHAW! Its time for a brand new episode of TIWYSAG!

Based on some of the ideas i put out there in the patreon-only country scale video i put out a couple weeks back, i'm bringing you a DEEP dive into faking your way through playing country lead guitar! If you've just gotten pulled onstage to shred over Folsom Prison Blues, and you're not confident in your rock/blues vocabulary, this is THE video for you!!! You don't have to learn a whole new language or new scales to play convincing country leads, you just gotta use what you know and add a little ACCENT to it!

Grab the charts that go along with the lesson below, and start working with those super fun backing tracks i made to go along with it! They go from AM to DM to EM to AM on loop, perfect to help you practice these country concepts. Get into it!!!

Hey Ben, you know you really do favor George Strait in the above picture. No, he's not known as a shred👁️nite, No sir but ole George is known to be a ladies man, hence the name Strait. But i did enjoy these lessons and the language analogy that kept it more simpler.
