Banjo Licks

This DVD gives you more than 150 original acoustic licks in a detailed guitar lesson from the one and only Arlen Roth. Double-stops, roll patterns, pick and finger style, advanced bending, arpeggios, harmony runs, tyrnarounds, banjo, resonator and pedal steel styles, chicken pickin', and much more are all demonstrated by one of the world's master player and instructors.

No other style of popular music demands such guitaristic mastery of right and left-hand techniques as does country guitar and that's why so many blues, jazz and even rock guitarists beg, borrow and steal techniques and licks from the master of country guitar. As with any musical style, studying its history and evolution is key to its understanding and proficiency. So, grab your guitar and jump on Jason Loughlin’s time machine – he’ll guide you through the history of country music across the fretboards of 34 country guitar masters in 50 Country Masters Licks You MUST Know.

Meet one of Nashvilles true guitar stars as Johnny Hiland takes you through some key aspects of country playing. As well as chicken pickin, he covers double-stops, pedal steel licks, pick-and-finger hybrid picking, banjo rolls and lots more. Hes also joined by Roth, Bill Holloman, and Shannon Ford for some truly memorable band segments.

Master the basics of bluegrass, plus learn the standard tune "Whiskey Before Breakfast." This lick pack will teach you standard strum accompaniment patterns in the keys of C and G, alternating bass lines, walk-ups, hammer-on and pull-off embellishments, flatpicking melodies, banjo-style forward and backward rolls, "old-timey" and traditional Irish fiddle–-style licks with unison notes and "floaters," and much more.
