Hi GMC!
The "Hot Bluegrass Country Solo" lesson covers a hot country style solo that is anchored with some classic bluegrass licks. Bluegrass guys are known to have amazing technique and play at lightning speeds. First, we are going to utilize some open string pull-off scales and licks. This is the first technique that will speed things up. Secondly, we will utilize bluegrass style banjo rolls that simulate the sound of banjo... on steroids.
