The 4th sample video for my Bluegrass Guitar Essentials course is a change of pace.  Up to now, I've been showing you some solos that convey the essence of what Bluegrass Guitar Essentials is all about.  But most people know a few songs and fiddle tunes and what they really want to learn is more licks.

That's where this video comes in.  In my course I cover a ton of licks for the keys of G, C, and D—what I feel are the 3 essential keys for learning Bluegrass guitar.  To give you a sample of the quality of licks that I share in the course, I've decided to include some of them in a sample video so you'll be able to use them in your own playing.

The licks I go over involve one of my personal favorite techniques that's also one of the most used by many Bluegrass guitar Legends such as Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton, Clarence White, and David Grier.  It's called the first fret pull-off, and I know you'll find it useful in your own playing because I myself have found this technique to be invaluable. 

As a bonus, I also share some essential tips for playing better Bluegrass guitar that everyone—whether you're a Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced player—can apply to their own playing styles and instantly sound more professional and become better at their left and right hand coordination.

Thanks for watching and please stay tuned to http://www.BluegrassGuitarEssentials.com for more Bluegrass Guitar videos to be released in the coming weeks as I prepare for the launch of my brand new guitar instructional course: Bluegrass Guitar Essentials.
