Carl Fischer Country Guitar Licks (Book/CD)

Country Guitar Licks offers a vast library of more than 80 hot country licks that will help any guitarist improvise more effectively. Learning and mastering scales and chords is vital, but to be a good player and improviser it is also essential to have a usable set of melodic ideas or licks to enrich each guitar solo.

The licks are designed to be played with a variety of ten common rhythmic patterns or "grooves" derived from actual hit country songs. The play-along tracks on the CD are a great way to experiment with licks the user has picked up from the book. Author Todd Barth is an experienced guitarist whose 29 years of touring and recording have gone into making this book and CD a great way for guitarists to enrich their ability to play country music effectively.
