Day 15 – Study Piece – Country Boy
Jan 5, 2010 hybrid picking

Here’s a piece I learned for my study piece of week 2, ‘Country Boy’ by Albert Lee. It has mental hybrid picking, with the hardest part of the song being the main riff!
Gear:
Fender American Deluxe with V neck
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Wine Edition
Boss DD-6 delay pedal (for last verse + chorus)
Also, massive apology for the lack of updates over the last month, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had that much time to edit (which takes me ages for some vids!), but I’m trying to catch up now, and there should be quite a few videos coming this week.

thanks for this …
thanks for this great mostly clear look at this great song i have been trying to play it for decades and your video really helped, just one small part where i could not see the top of the neck, but sir this was truly an outstanding and helpful video, and I admire your clarity of tone, precise playing technique and phrasing thank you so much

I’ve been listening to your dad since farlowe and the t-birds – he’s beyond talented – I play banjo ( I’m not fast enough on guitar) and also build teles – have fun thanks

Wow, thanks a lot …
Wow, thanks a lot for that comment, that really means a lot to me!
I did notice a lack of all the details and stuff in other covers on Youtube, so I thought that I’d push myself and do the whole thing pretty much note-for-note (though I messed up a few times)!
It’s part of my project that I’ve got going on (check out the rest of my Youtube channel) to become awesome at guitar.
Anyway, thanks a lot, you made my day!

Very nice job. i am …
Very nice job. i am Albert’s daughter and found your video on the page of “recommended for you” section. I sang with him this weekend at the James Burton guitar festival and he did Country Boy. It’s difficult to get together with a band, they always seem to be playing too slow or maybe my dad is playing too fast. Anyway, very impressed, best version i’ve heard by someone else. Especially since you play through to the end and use the echoplex.
