What This Lesson Covers:

However, you can also use them for Bluegrass and even Western Swing. In this video I also talk about what scales and chord tones these licks are derived from.

All you need to do is just "CUT AND PASTE" these Filler Licks and Rolls and whatever order you want, keep good rhythm, and make sure you change when the chord changes, and before too long you sound like you know what you're doing! And You Will!!! :-)
This lesson also comes with 2 Jam Tracks of a really common Bluegrass/Folk chord progression, one at 85 BPM and another at 100 BPM. They are great for practicing these Licks and Rolls!!!

This is Volume #4 of my series "Combining Rolls & Licks" for Resonator Guitar (aka Dobro®). In this lesson I cover "Minor Rolls & Licks" in the Key of Em (E minor). The chords we will be working with will be Em, Am, and B. (I'm keeping the V chord Major) This lesson also comes with a Full Color Diagram of all kinds of minor chords you can play on the Dobro®.
Because we are in the Key of Em and it is the Relative Minor of the key of G major, you could also use the licks you've learned in the last 3 volumes and see how they will sound over the Minor Backing Track. In a lot of cases G licks can also be used over an Em chord. Try It!!! And see what I'm talking about!
The Jam Tracks come in 3 different speeds... 80, 100, and 110 BPM.
Em is a really fun key to play in, and I think you really enjoy jamming on the Licks and Rolls with the included Jam Tracks!!!
Have Fun and Thanks Again!!!
