Country Guitar Heroes - 100 Country Licks for Guitar: Master 100 Country Guitar Licks In The Style of The 20 Greatest Players (Play Country Guitar Licks) Kindle Edition

Here it is.... Most Country guitar videos and lessons generally lack in content. The licks are kewl but its very hard to apply the concepts if you want to learn them and incorporate them into your own playing. Another issue is that the player might be really good but not the best teacher. In this book Levi is not only a good player but great teacher. He shows your different licks and different keys and chord progressions so you can apply licks in a real time situation. There are also backing tracks for the solos so you can play along and get the feel for the scales and licks. If you want to delve in country country guitar I highly recommend this book and his other books he has on Amazon. Great stuff!!!

I've played guitar for over fifty years and bought dozens of guitar books in that time, and this has been the most useful yet. I like the fact that it's broken down into short passages of four to six measures that are easy to memorize and practice. There's enough theory to be useful but not so much as to get you bogged down. I come from a rock & blues background, and this is a great way to pick up the intricacies of country guitar

I'm relatively new to playing the guitar (1 year), so I'm frequently looking for anything that is appropriate for a learner with my level of (in)experience and speaks the language in a manner I can understand. This book met both requirements. I've only had it for about a week, but have read through it once (obviously a little rapidly) and have begun putting to practice the information in the book. I'm enjoying it and have already identified a couple of the licks as my favorites. In my opinion, it's an excellent book and a good value for the price.

This is an interesting book from the standpoint of a more advanced player if they can analyze what is inside enough to have it change their playing. Because the sets (there are several licks for each artist) are arranged by famous country guitarist that created them you can pick up tips on their particular style. Taken as a whole you get a quick tour of Country guitar history. Depending on the capabilities of the student buying the book I would either recommend this highly or have them hold off until they were ready. That is why a 4 and not a 5.

So many good licks! Great pieces to learn and adapt to your own playing. If you follow the licks around the cycle of fifths to a metronome, there is so much learning and improvement to be had! These licks can provide a great way to add country flavor to any solo/song, or provide the foundation to building and adapting your deep library of country style riffs and sounds.These licks are great as is and are easily adaptable for your personal style/sound. Lick books can be a bit tedious, but the breadth of pro players covered keeps it fresh and fun!

The author does a fantastic job of breaking down the licks in a digestible way that's relevant to building a good ear and understanding theory. The added downloadable content is invaluable as well. NOTE: I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner player though, these are intermediate to difficult licks, but incredibly helpful for starting a journey to becoming a country player.

It's Levi Clay, so you know it will have awesome content. So yes, it does have great content and writing, but it is a pain in the ass if you're using an IPAD (for me anyway) and want to hear the sound clips as you go along.It's almost 2018, you'd think a book for the Kindle format would be able to link to the sound files with the pages. I'd give this book 5 stars and maybe it's the technology itself, but for me personally it is a HUGE hassle to go to the publisher's website on a different computer, download the MP3 files, export them to Itunes (which I hate using), then go back and forth between programs on my IPAD trying to find the right sound file to match the one in the book. If I'm being unfair and just don't understand the technology I apologize, but really it's a hassle.

Being a player for over forty years, I don't normally go for "lick" books, but this one is very well done. I already have my eye on other Levi Clay books which I will undoubtedly buy in the near future.

I've been stuck in a blues-rock rut with my playing for a while and wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone. Most songs and licks I learn from watching and listening to other players or from reading tab online. I thought I'd try something new by not only trying a different genre, but also by buying something in printed form.This book is nicely written. It's clear and concise, full of insight and written in an approachable, objective manner. I've still got a lot of work to do to feel comfortable here, but it's made me want to sit down with a guitar and plug away at new material for the first time in a long while.My only criticism of this book lies in some of it's type-setting. I think that may be due to the conversion from e-book to print; sometimes there isn't a clear distinction between one example and the description of the next. Should be easily remedied in future editions with some white space or careful proof-reading and it certainly doesn't detract from the excellent value for money that this book represents for me.

Second book I’ve bought in this series by Levi Clay. Have bought Country Guitar For Beginners which I would strongly recommend if you don’t already own it!Worked through a few of the licks in this book so far and loving how not only do you learn the licks but are encouraged and taught to transpose them and apply them to your own music, so, not only are you learning to reproduce some great music but you’re incorporating it straight into your own musical vocabulary.Another excellent book with loads of content to keep you occupied for a very long time

Excellent resource, not just for country licks, as with a little tweaking you could use these over a blues as well.Really well laid out and full of information.Levi is a skilled tutor and the information is laid out in an easily digestible format. Some great tips for transposing the licks into other keys as well.heartily recommended .Oh and if you can't work out how to download the audio files.... then sorry you may need to go back to school.

This is definitely not your typical lick book. What Levi has presented here is not only some true classic licks but how they've been created. With reference to the underlying harmony, Levi shows how the lick is created from the chords, arpeggios and related scale. The opportunity is here to really learn and embed this into your playing, rather than just trying to memorise a bunch of licks.The last 4 chapters of the book take you through how to practically apply this knowledge covering transposition, applying to different contexts and concluding with a couple of solo examples.Just like in his other books, Levi proves again his pre-eminence as a guitar instructor/educator.

This book is awesome and I think it is perfect if you are looking to improve your understanding and approach to playing country guitar. Levi is very good at making the point that it is important to understand the context in which you are playing - and although learning the provided licks is cool - it is just as important to be able to take what you learn and use it in a different key or situation. This is a very useful skill to have as you essentially get 12 licks for every 1 included in the book. However, there are virtually limitless ways of using these ideas as Levi also teaches you how to alter the fundamental tonality of each lick relevant to the musical situation.For me this is perfect as although I like to learn licks to inspire me - I also want to understand more about the musical situation I am in. There is so much here in this book! Not only are there players I recognise, but I also discovered new players too! This is another point of why this book is so good - there is a little introduction to each of the players where Levi gives you some background about major recordings/albums as well as the equipment that they use. Also, you can check out the new players online too! This leads to more musical inspiration, which is a good thing.This brings me to my final point about how much value for money there is here with this package. I brought this for 14 pounds - which is insane value for money when you think about how much there is here. Not only are the licks really authentic - but you also get a really easy awesome download link of all the audio files and there are even some solo studies there too.In summary this is a fantastic product. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in country music with some guitar experience behind them. Also, it looks like there are some other cool books available from this publishing house - I think I will check out some more of their offerings when I get the chance.
