Truefire Jason Loughlin Country Connections [TUTORiAL]

Creative Improvisational Approaches for Country Soloing One of the challenges that most guitarists encounter when playing country guitar is learning how to 'play the changes.' You get a lot of mileage with blues and minor pentatonic scales if you're playing rock or blues, but they won't get you very far when playing country. In Country Connections, Jason Loughlin shows you an easy-to-master system for targeting tones and selecting the correct scales when soloing over any country changes. "I'll show you five positions of the major pentatonic scale in multiple keys, how to voice-lead those scales over changes, and how to visualize common chord shapes in each position to serve as templates for finding chord tones. You'll also learn universal scales that will work with the overall key and I'll show you how to connect positions using intervals and sliding pentatonic scales. Along the way, I'll pass on a versatile vocabulary of flat-picking licks, double-stop licks, pedal steel bends and share a few tips for using improvisational devices to shape powerful solos. We'll then take all of the new scales, shapes, and approaches and play solos in each of the five positions. Finally, we'll wind up the course learning 3 solos, which connect all 5 positions using 3rds, 6ths or sliding pentatonic scales." Jason will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You'll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you'll be able to use TrueFire's learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
