Description

What is in the book?

This book features six full band tracks with a variety of guitar parts in each track – sometimes as many as six guitar parts layered up within a track. You’ll start off by learning the key techniques in Country Guitar with exercises covering everything from fingerpicking to chicken picking, open string playing and pedal steel bends
There are full band backing tracks and then tracks minus each part so you can work on just one part or develop your own ideas.

Who is this for?

This book is for fans of Modern Country but also those who are intrigued by how professional studio session guitarists stack parts and always find the right part for the track. If you are working on both rhythm and lead playing then this book will work well for you – amongst other skills you’ll see the importance of being able to write short eight bar solos whilst crafting multiple rhythm parts in different registers that stay out each other’s way. No matter what style you play working through the exercises and pieces in this book will give you transferable skills to take to the next writing session, recording session or gig!

The download is delivered as a zip file containing a PDF copy of Modern Country Guitar Jam Session and MP3 files covering each piece and backing track in the book.

The zip file can be opened with winzip and you will need Adobe Acrobat reader to view the PDF version of the book. MP3 Audio files can be played in iTunes or Windows Media Player or any supported audio software.
