Lesson ID: A0142

In this video, I’ll show you how to use our brand new Advanced Bluegrass Guitar Lick Library and I’ll also teach you one of my favorite bluegrass guitar licks in G. We’ll be adding new guitar licks to the bluegrass lick library all the time! The licks will cover several different keys and locations on the guitar neck. Later, we’ll post some really useful licks in the style of famous bluegrass guitar pickers like Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge, Norman Blake, David Grier, Clarence White, Dan Crary, and more!

Lesson 13 – Rhythm Fill Riffs and Lead Guitar Course

Course Outline Previous Lesson Next Lesson

Lesson ID: A0138

In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn four country & bluegrass guitar riffs in the key of D that work up the neck a ways. These four riffs can be pieced together to create a guitar solo or you can use them as rhythm fill riffs. They’re all around great riffs that’ll give that country & bluegrass sound we’re going for. After you learn the riffs, we’ll talk about the guitar scales we’re using today to create these riffs so you can see where the notes are coming from instead of just learning licks and playing them from memory.

Big Sciota

April 13, 2025October 1, 2017 by Devin

Lesson ID: A0137

In this guitar lesson, I’ll teach you how to play “Big Sciota“, a traditional song credited to Burl Hammons. This song is named after a 231-mile stretch of river in Ohio that was very important to many Native American cultures. It is believed that Ritchie Stearns was the first to attach words to the tune, and much later, “Big Sciota” was made more popular by Old Crow Medicine Show.
