Lesson ID: A0215
Here’s a classic country chicken pickin’ lick in the key of A. That first bend with your middle finger is pretty tricky — make sure you bend with your middle finger without bending the 1st and 2nd strings with your pointer/ring fingers. After you learn the chicken pickin’ lick, practice it with the backing track at the end of this video.

| 00:55 min | Backing track practice |
Very nice! Please keep these licks coming!
Will do! I’m about to post a revised version of the Chicken Pickin’ Lick 2 lesson video here in about an hour https://countryguitaronline.com/such-a-useful-lick-chicken-pickin-lick-2-in-a/
Still trying to figure out the best lesson format for these licks before I record all the videos. The new video teaching Lick 2 has a full breakdown as well. A bit more work, but will probably add the extra detail for all the licks going forward.
If you have any feedback, let me know!
Glad you like the Chicken Pickin’ Licks! Having a blast recording these.
Devin, do you have tabs to download ? I have to go much slower than the video
cant do these bends or the tremolo effects on my acoustic guitar- right?
You could maybe do it, but you’d need some super light strings and thick calluses on your fingers.. probably more fun on electric
ok thanks – how to print the tab at home?
Nice touch with the real chicken.
Excellent start to the chicken pickin’ tradition !
Thanks George!
