Well, pull up a chair and grab your acoustic, because today's exclusive guitar lesson from Arlen Roth is going to show you some basic country strumming licks that will surely add some nice flatpicking patterns to your repertoire.
The style Roth will show you today can be applied to both electric or acoustic playing, but it has its roots in early Americana country music. Roth clearly demonstrates how the right-hand patterns help establish the foundation to properly play these licks, while showing off the ability to jump strings using a flatpicking style of playing.
As Roth explains, it's a style you'll immediately recognize as soon as you hear it, and one that can be utilized for many genres of music, from bluegrass to rock and roll.
