Old Country Guitar Solo | 48 Simply Fantastic Country Guitar Licks 

I know it's just an opinion, and I take NO offense at all, ever... But, ya just gotta love folks that give you the rules and criteria in which to supply them with free lessons. lol

587 people who gave thumbs down, are ignorant haters. Thanks so much for what you do Doug!

I've been playing for 41 years and Doug has taught me more in the last 15 years than I've ever learned before that! Thanks Doug!

It's rare to find a good player who's also a good instructor. Doug is both!

Doug Seven Thankyou I'm 64 and played blues and rock all my life (well since 11 years old) I always loved country sounds and guitar but whenever I tried to think of a country solo my brain turned it back into blues or rock halfway through. This lesson has given me something different to think of and I thank you. At 64 every day is still a school day! God bless you for taking the time!

Thank you for your time to teach people like myself whom can’t afford lessons , sincerely Thank You

Doug is just such a nice guy. For real. It makes the learning that much more enjoyable. That he legitimately seems like a cool dude to talk to about guitar and whatever else even.

FANTASTIC.............Thanks to all the GREAT FOLKS..who take time to give us FREE guitar lessons..Most of us really really APPRECIATE YOUR GOODNESS.............. and you damn critics...........ya sit alone..................... Thanks Man........stuff like this..making life better..Aloha

I love your guitar lessons Doug! I've been picking for over 65 years now and have had many Nashville recording sessions with the great Pete Wade. This lesson where you stay right in the same little box with the A chord is simply great! Thanks my friend and keep up the good work!

Doug 7 is the man. Ive learned so much from him and his lessons and DVDs. Thanks Doug.

2 months in ,learning so much about guitars, music, staying up way late, can"t get enough. thanks for giving me that feeling of ya I stepped up a bit , Thank you Doug

The main thing that makes this cook, is Doug's great phrasing. Notes per se are one thing, but timing, dynamics and phrasing is where the magic lies.

I’ve been playing for 40 yrs. let me say an outstanding lesson. Tnx Doug for breaking down a classic country solo and riffs .

....those fingers are ADD...........so much energy they need a calming drug.........

This seriously just made so much music theory click in my head! THANK YOU

Doug, I taught for many years, played for many years, and I was an agent for guitarists Stephen Bennett, worked with Muriel Anderson, and the great Richard Smith, all three among the best acoustic guitarists in the country. It's hard to teach properly, so I just wanted to mention that you do a good job. I pretty much played in classic rock groups, Christian Rock Bands, and eventually acoustic solo guitar, so I never played a lot of country, so these are some fun videos. Thanks

One of the classic, iconic guitar lesson....

Doug all I have to say is thank you.

Great lesson Doug - I'm a long time beginner and this lesson is tops - thx!

Doug Seven, Thank you for sharing your incredible talent. Great job!

doug doesnt talk too much some people just dont listen enough . awesome lesson

just a city slicker who was raised in kevil ky...your true core never leaves you so i bought a tele and am so enjoying getting back to my roots!

I watch guitar lessons every single day. I am lucky to find something useful maybe 10% of the time. I have to say, your lessons are F'ing killer. Seriously one of the only guys out there with great instruction and a great attitude. Nicely done, cheers.

Fantastic, using just three notes with some bends is all you need to sound like real good ole country. Thks.

Hey, great lesson. I really loved the major 3rd then grab and the high A. Now that's got the country sound. Thanks.

70 years old and I have just picked up my telecaster after 25 years after watching your viseos...many many thanks Doug for taking the immence time it must have taken you to do this .. I personally thank you ...regards Stormin

Nothing like guitar music one can drink to.

We're happy too Doug ... You rock !!

I like your teaching style by starting out with the Chord structure and everything else follows naturally. This is The way to go. Thank you for your excellent work!!

Doug i really appreciate the way you teach. I have to see it played. Tabs don't mean a thing to me. I have played by ear for 49 years. but your style of teaching is great for me. thank you so much.

This Man Is Amazing.Such A great Tutor.

Thanks for taking time to make us better guitar players. I'm an advanced player who wants to pick up anything new I can. Great.

Brilliant. This is a great lesson. Thanks!

Wish I'd found your channel 15 years ago....you're a great taecher and a fine musician. Thanks!

I really love your style. You don't talk down to people you talk TO them and that is what keeps me coming back. Thank you for taking the time to help and share with others your immense guitar knowledge, it really shines through.

You are the best teacher ever, thank you so much. Newell Bate

There's a little country in all of us :) Dig this kind of guitar playing, so uniquely country :)

just love that country picking..Thanks

Спасибо, Дуг! Ты настоящий друг!

Your the best Doug! Thanks for the gold you give away.

Wow! Doug, this is great! I've been pickin Country for over 60 years. Thanks for showin how its done.

Very informative! I'll be watching all your videos. Thanks

Doug, thanks very much! Just the right level for me!

Excellent teacher......I enjoyed it very much.....thank you , Doug !

Perfect and I learned something and I have been playing for 57 years.

Oh my, What those licks can do to me produced from a Tele. Sweeter than Mary-Lou's lips. Thank you Doug. Yuma,AZ.

I like your style Doug.... love the Haggard music... great job!!!!!!!!!

thank you, i love it, i love the simplicity of it which makes it so awesome.. im in.

Nice lesson. Doug, I see it’s been up since 2015. If you’re still checking in here, my compliments on your good work.

I'm 46 and have been a fan of this type of music all my life. I've owned an acoustic for years and know a few chords and how to play a little rhythm. Finally broke down and bought myself a Telecaster and want to get into this and really see how the lead pickers live. This is going to be a blast, and I thank you for putting this out there. I can't wait to get started!

Simple invaluable if you’re trying to learn country which that’s where I’m at. I appreciate your brother. That sounds awesome.

Many thanks for this.

Thank you so much. By teaching the scale and using a nice country riff with it is perfect. I used the scale now to play with tracks in the A-key and make up my own blues stuff. You are the first one on line that made it fun to learn a scale.

So cool when you start playing! It all comes to life! Everyone should have a Telecaster, Even if they can't play, This lesson should inspire all budding Guitar heroes

Hands down the single best guitar lesson I've had. Thanks. I'm going to eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow.

MANNA from heaven. Great tutorial.

I know its country music But I Like it Like it yes I do...Nothing Like Getting it Right.Thx Mr.7

Thanks a Lot for This VAlue step-by-step Lesson !!

I really like this simple but effective teaching method. I love playing with these notes!!!

great job.. you have a nice hand..TY !!

I saw, I listened, I learned. Thanks

I'm not normally a country guy, but I really like how you each. Lots of good material, well organized, and enthusiastically taught. I could almost get into playing it if I watched enough. Keep up the good work!

Great lesson - learnt a lot.

That was out standing. I've mainly played blues and rock (badly) but always wanted to learn some good ole country.

Thanks I've joined a country/rock band and some of these licks are really gonna help as never played this type of music before

All I can say is thanks for sharing your knowledge. If I had you tube and people like you willing to take time to share thirty years ago I would have been a much better player today. the younger generation has a lot to be appreciative for but don't under stand what it was like to not have the great ways to share that we do today. Thanks so much for your time Doug!

great instruction ... you break it down and provide enough theory

This lesson is just what i needed

Класс!!! Всё просто и понятно. Молодец!

So simple but so tasteful, thanks for giving me some new ideas!

Aewsome way to lay out the lesson, tks Doug!

Awesome lesson Doug! Thank you!

Nice work , great teaching.

thank you pall now I play much better now,country and blues to!

Nice lesson, Simple and not too drawn out...

Doug does a great job showing you how to connect the dots-This shows you how to use licks-with the chord changes-not just hot licks with out direction-each note is going in the right direction-employing technique, scales, and melody

thanks Doug i really like the way you break these lessons down and how you explain everything i played mostly Acoustic for over 35 years until i suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury that left me partially paralyzed on my left side of my body that injury forced me into early retirement and many other major changes in my life my 27 year old son has my collection of guitars and honestly i watch RU-vid videos with very good headphones on to still give me the feeling of playing which i haven’t done in over 10 years now it’s the only way in life i can naturally relax and zone out in a way to relax my body and my brain that is always in pain because of the injuries my other way is to smoke a little weed ! that i’m trying to get my doctor to prescribe to me now that it’s legal in the State i live in he writes me up for Oxy cotin but i don’t care for some of its side affects and yes it takes care of the pain but it makes it hard to stay awake and think normal

really great , fun too

Very clear and concise. Also, very generous. Thank you so much.

just love it DOUG THANK YOU .

THANX DOUG ! BEING A METAL HEAD AND A HARD ROCK OLD SCHOOLER, I NEVER PLAYED COUNTRY LICKS BEFORE(ALTHOUGH I LOVED WATCHING HEE HAW TO WATCH THE GREAT ROY CLARK). BOY DO I GOT SOME PRACTICEING TO DO!!! LOL. GOD BLES MY MAN!

You teaching style is the BEST!

Doug you are such a Blessing to me Brother, I've been out of work for 3 months, thought it was MS for a while, now nobody seems to know, but anyway these few lessons I've found have been such a blessing in my life. I've been playing since age 11 and am now 46, all the tid bits I've stock piled over the years thanks to you have made some sense.it is my Prayer that I'm able to afford these Awesome stuff you put out one day, right my family needs every penny, but I'd so love to own it. Please accept my most heartfelt thanks for the way you explain stuff for those of us who aren't so smart, May God Bless you and Keep you, though we've never met I feel as though we are Brothers, thanks so much again, and God Bless

Man, I don't ever read comments so I don't know what's been said about this, I just know what I wanna say. I want to say it kicks butt! I'm 57 and don't remember my life before I started playing guitar, Beatles, Stones, Albert King, Clapton were all influences. But I entertained myself with Haggard and Jones! You nailed down exactly what I go to every day at least once or twice and I hope some young players appreciate it for it's real value. Right on!!

Wonderful. Thank you.

You are a terrific teacher! Thanks brother.

Hi Doug. I just came across this lesson by accident. I've been playing for 50+ years and did my first gig or booking as we called them back then in 1964. I've even managed to steal a living for a few of those years and I thought this was a great lesson. I will definitely be catching up with some more of your teaching. Thank you. Oh and I have spent a lot of those years trying to be Steve Cropper. Never quite got it but I have also never been short of work.

Thanks Doug!!

Awesome Doug thanks.

Awesome... I was so lucky to get a kind of country music lesson I've been looking so far. Jumped straight to my guitar. Thanks Doug.

Man thank you so much for this. So so much came to me from this.
