Okay, we are going to look over the country rhythm playing now using a hybrid picking system and then we are going to take an A seven code with the left hand. Take a basic A bar code. So, you will not finger off, exposing that G, the fifth fret D, then you have your A seven code. Then what we are going to do is we are going to use the pick to play between the A on the fifth fret that we on the E note on the seventh fret A string. So, we are going to have this kind.
And we are going to palm muting with the right hand and then what is going to happen is that our second and third fingers are just going to play the third on the seventh which is going to be on the fifth fret D and the sixth fret G in between. Okay, now we want to make sure you do. Just get that base kind quite of noise. So do not be afraid to give that a bit of a thwart of the pick for as long as you are palm muting correctly with the right hand. Now, just a little tip on the right, you can rotate the guitar, just kind of move it around until you find the right place. For me, it is just kind of over the bridge area there. And the more I do to help with the staccato in this, if you like of the code to just press down with the left hand every time, you will see my hands making this slow rhythm here, like that.
Okay, so that is the first thing we are going to do then we are going to go to a D seven code. That is going to be five on the A. It is going to be four on the D. We are going to have a pinky playing fifth on the G and then we are going to have that first finger on that third fret base string even thought we know I will still be playing that note. But it is just, you know, the coach had to be years. In this case, four on the D and fifth on the G are going to be played by a second and third fingers of the right hand to go and then the base is now going to go between D and A, being fifth on the A string and fifth on the low string. And then that halting is going to move out to make an A seven code. Okay, at the end of the lick, you are going to get this slow run, we are going to come down and you go fifth lower then we are going to four, five, six on the A, we are going to hit the open E and we will just hit that A seven code with the B.
Okay, let us have a quick look at the format of the code progression used on the backing track. It is count three to four but I am going to count in four. Four just to make it a little bit easy to familiarize yourself with the chords and especially we are going to work at this. We got two bars on A, one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four follow on D, two, three, four, back to A, two, three, up to E full bar, three, three, down to three full bar, two bars on A. In the second half, we are going to have this run.
Okay, it is pretty obvious and I know you will pick it once you hear it. So, we have learned the pattern so let us do it with the back and try.
So finally, alternating between the run and fifth on the base, again playing the third and seventh of the chord where the second and third thing was of the right hand. What we are going to do is we are going to play the root again with the pluck and then we are going to play the fifth D string and the fifth B string together which is going to be an E on the G note. Okay, that is going to be the first of the lick then we are going to go back and we are going to play the fifth which is going to be seventh fret on the A string and then we are going to use a second finger to play the six on the G and. I pick to play the fifth on the D, B and the G.
So, just look at this pattern in really slow. Okay, then remove the pattern and over to the D code. That is exactly the same. And this time, you alternate between the A and E from the root and fifth. So for this, let me move to the D, back slide exactly the same as we did on the D for the A.
Now, you might have noticed every now and again, I might do a room play the G in highest and instead in country plucks we do this. There were just kind of alternate, it does not matter if you catch off the strings but the technique is the fact that you got one to go the two, like that, so you go, one to give a fifth finger pick. What is important is keeping this base down there. If you decide to the G on high as oppose to the D and B that is okay as long as this is good. You know, it is like that high E there. Okay, let us play this country rhythm along with the backing track.
So, there you have two types of country rhythm, one simply used in the hybrid picking system and one a little bit more of advanced.
