Lesson ID: A0216
Here is Chicken Pickin’ Guitar Lick 2 in the key of A. This electric guitar riff is extremely useful because it sounds amazing over just about every country chord progression in the key of A. Many country guitar licks are designed to be played over specific chords, but this chicken pickin’ electric guitar lick works well over most chords in A (especially the I, IV, and V chords). After you learn this country guitar lick, practice playing it over the full-length backing track that comes with this lesson.
I prefer using Woodtone Triangle Picks (black) in .71mm for chicken pickin’ because shape, size, and flex of these picks feels perfect.

Loving the electric guitar lessons – super spicy
Devin, are you playing through an amp or direct into computer? In either scenario, what is your setup? Love the tone
Thanks Scott! Here’s a pic of my pedal board…everything was connected in this order: Telecaster, Wampler Ego Compressor, Source Audio Zio Analog Front End Boost, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, Revv G8 Noise Gate, Strymon Flint Tremelo & Reverb, and finally into a Fender Tweed ’57 Custom Deluxe. I’ll try to do a video on the pedal and amp settings at some point after I do some more fiddling around with all the settings.
Hope everything’s going well!
And forgot to say that I’m just using a Shure SM57 as the mic — works so well for recording electric guitar.
Where’s the chicken gone?
