This week we get into the nitty gritty on vintage country soloing techniques. Lots of bends, double stops and steel guitar voicings, delivered with the searing twang of a vintage tele bridge pickup through a Fender black-panel amplifier. I'd say this falls somewhere in the intermediate to advanced category and should hopefully give you plenty to get your teeth into!
Absolutely jam-packed full of essential tips and tricks for melodically outlining the changes with character, style and mojo ;)

And as always, stick around til the end for gear talk and recommended listening 👌🏻
