Four Ideas Over G, C, and D to Begin Creating Flatpicking Lines 

@Mickey Abraham that’s amazing. What a great lesson with so many choices. Thanks for sharing this with me.

Do what Mikey tells you until it becomes second nature and you'll be well served by these ideas. I could use a little review myself. 🙂

It's a wonderful feeling when you start rambling over the fretboard like on a sunday afternoon walk. Thank's a lot for the good lesson, Mikey😊

I loved this lesson. It is already showing up in my improvisation when I might not have played the tune before and everyone is looking at me to play something that fits somewhat tastefully, lol. I’m taking online lessons with Mickey and he has helped me a bunch already.

It took a month, there are at least 20 licks here, completely altered my guitar learning direction in a way Mickey showed is awesome baby, really. It was hard.

Seriously clear teaching ability, dude.

It took me a week to figure out the chromatic pentium. Now I can try all of the over Strum Machine.

nicely done

If you got a rock n roll heart this will be second nature when you are stuck for something to play ❤

Unreal stuff I love this type of stuff it’s not overly complicated and it can be used in real life instead of a Bb75 over a 9 with a 6 on top 😂😂😂thanks Mickey I love your lessons I’m Gona learn a lot from u cheers my man .. Brian Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸oh I just bought strum machine it’s a great little app although sometimes I use a looper but strum machine is so convenient and great for practice thanks again so happy I found you .. excellent teaching I will be spreading the word bro about you 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Having the video to refer to really helps to reinforce these ideas! I will practice like a ninja!!! :)

This is the most useful video I've found since I started learning how to flat pick. Thank you!

Nice 👍 that chromatic lick for sure inspired by Norman Blake ❤

Nice nuts and bolts lesson Mickey. I like the pause before the Munroe lick, so it ends in time. I also noticed that you have a built in sense of dynamics, highlighting the big notes, at the right times.

Simple runs. Great bluegrass lesson. Thanks. I’m gonna start working on them

Great lesson ! Thanks a lot for this good stuf ! Cheers from france 😇👍

I like the way you showed how to use Strum Machine to practice.

I forgot to say thanks. This is great.

Dude...I got a 12pk of beer...lemme grab my guitar and I'll b right over.

Hi Mickey. This, and the follow up, are awesome. I am going to be working on these starting today. Love this way of being clinical but having it applicable to improvising. It seems simple but trying to remember them all to mix it up in the fly will be where the rubber hits the road. Wish me luck! Btw, and this is my first impression - I really like how you are explaining and demonstrating it all. Very clear and easy to understand how to develop this foundational skill. My only wish, and this is relatively small. Is that you play each example a few times through to make it easier to play along a couple of times to get it down.

A Mickey vid series?!

ty for these nuggets Mickey
