Bluegrass Guitar Tablature

Guitar Licks

In this tab pack, created by special request, I'll share with you a cool descending pattern made popular by the legendary guitarist Tony Rice!

Along with the standard descending style lick he uses, I'll show you the actual lick I created inspired by it. This is a tricky one, so I've included special sections to help you practice, practice, practice.

Don't get discouraged if it takes a while to master; just keep plugging away at it. And don't forget to pay attention to the RIGHT HAND!

Guitar Solo

Of all the Bluegrass guitar solos I've written, this is one of my all-time favorites. It's snappy, it has sass, and it screams Bluegrass!

ITSO (In the style of) "Heaven Will Be Worth The Journey" is a solo I created for the song of the same name with the Gilbert Family.

Within this song, you'll find loads of licks (and a couple of cool arpeggios based around my Bluegrass Guitarpeggios course) in the chord shapes of D, G, and A. The open strings will serve as a way to disconnect from one area of the fretboard to the next as you move away from the more beginner fret areas (the first 5 frets).

In addition to the included resources below,  I've included a metronome version of the solo (mp3) so you'll be able to follow along without any trouble.

This video and tab pack excerpt from my new course, Bluegrass Guitarpeggios, contains my rendition of "Ashokan Farewell" by original composer Jay Ungar.

Guitar Solos

The newest tab pack from my Bluegrass Guitarpeggios course includes not one but two fully transcribed solos—a Basic and an Intermediate version of the popular peppy fiddle tune "Angeline the Baker."

In addition, if you're used to playing most fiddle tunes in a G-shape, this song will challenge you to explore other areas of the fretboard within the key of D.

This tab pack is a great introduction to my brand new course, Bluegrass Guitarpeggios. If you're interested in checking out the full course, scroll below to see more.

Guitar Arpeggios & Solo

This tab pack includes a bonus track from the original Bluer Shade of Green album by Wilder Mountain, a Bluegrass band I used to play with years ago.

In addition to the arpeggio I discuss in the video—inspired by Bryan Sutton's performance of his song "Decision at Glady Fork," as well as a bonus transcription of the full solo I performed on the track.

Guitar Licks

In this tab package, I'll go over the licks I introduced in one of my popular YouTube videos of the same name (left).

You'll learn six different variations on the ever-popular G Run, a lick that's instantly recognized by Bluegrass flat pickers everywhere and made popular by Bluegrass Legend Lester Flatt.

Included in the tabs are various rhythm/strumming practice sessions, which will give you a better sense of where to place these licks in your playing.

Guitar Licks

This is my most extensive tab pack to date, with around 4 pages of licks, shapes, and phrases, you'll learn the fundamentals of Easy Lead Playing in the key of G! (Video to the left.)

Since the tabs are so extensive, I've decided to include a metronome count in the audio file so you can keep track of where the beat falls in each section.

As always, I've also included the Guitar Pro and PDF files so you can practice and replay each section til your heart's content!

(Note: If some of the later phrases seem a bit difficult at first, just keep practicing the basic shapes and the phrases surrounding them before trying the more difficult ones.)

Guitar Solo
