Today's lick is called Nashville Pedal Steelin'. This one was really hard for me and I realized that the reason why is because I'm having to relearn so much and do what is completely unnatural to me! I love the blues, and so my style is very legato, with every note connected, but this country riff is supposed to be very staccato with a few legato bends in it. Man, totally different world! I love country licks like these, but man are they hard for me to play.
I'm not too proud of this one, but I did a bunch of takes and I think my hands are getting tired and it will only get worse from here. This lick is supposed to be twangy, but I'm not pressing down on the strings hard enough at parts so things buzz a little bit and give and unwanted "twang"- like sound. Anyway, here it is!
