Catch up with Troy Grady of Cracking the Code as he discovers the virtuosity that country music has to offer his quest for guitar picking excellence. Albert Lee and Eric Johnson both inspire and intimidate with their lightning quick clean licks and their unique use of the pentatonic scale. YeeHaw!
Below I’ve tabbed out a few licks that Troy talks about in this episode. They are:
[lollum_list]
[lollum_list_element]Tobacco Road solo from Steve Vai (last lick) A blistering descending run in the key of E Minor. Check out all the crazy tuplets man!
[/lollum_list_element]
[lollum_list_element]Fun Ranch Boogie from Albert Lee (intro lick) This slippery sounding country lick uses the E blues scales and open stings to quickly cross the neck.
[/lollum_list_element]
[lollum_list_element]Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson (intro lick) Eric’s strange rhythmic goupings give this fast descending lick the sound of floating down the neck.
