EXAMPLE BRAD PAISLEY STYLE

[Bar 18] Watch out for the rhythms in this and the following bar as the strumming picks up pace; be careful not to rush through these two bars though. [Bar 20] The hammer-on embellishment on the C chord may take a little work, but keep a relaxed picking hand and sync it all up you’ll be fine!

[Bar 29] Here’s a classic ‘cross-picking’ phrase on the G major chord. This may test your picking hand so ensure that everything is even and you can hear each note in the picked phrases. Cross-picking is fundamental to this style so you’ll need to crack it if you want to play convincing country or bluegrass guitar. cd track 53
