This is the first video in a series of lessons where I’ll be teaching y’all how to play country and bluegrass rhythm guitar fill riffs, chord embellishments, and more! We’re going to start this series with the most basic beginner concepts and work our way up to more advanced techniques each lesson. As we discuss these topics, I’m going to highlight the note combinations and other progressions that’ll give your guitar playing that country and bluegrass sound.

Chet Atkins Hybrid Picking Progression

Lesson ID: A0086

In this intermediate guitar lesson video, I’ll teach you one of my favorite hybrid picking progressions in the style of Chet Atkins. Instead of using a thumb pick like Chet Atkins did, we’ll use a standard guitar pick in a hybrid picking style (pick in combo with the other fingers of your right hand). The pick will play an alternating bass line while the ring and middle fingers will pick up the melody notes. This picking pattern can be used with any chord progression.

In this guitar lesson video, you’ll learn how to play a melodic country & bluegrass strumming pattern inspired by the song “Oh, Kentucky” by Lou Reid & Carolina. We’ll add some nice bass line walks and accent picks to the strumming. This guitar lesson will help you develop right hand pick control and it will push your country and bluegrass rhythm guitar to the next level.
