I mean it this time...I will start posting new videos! In this video I encourage you to memorize these four ideas over G, C, and D.

1) Classic G Run (my way of doing it)
2) Fiddle style Doc inspired idea
3) Monroe mandolin inspired idea
4) Chromatic flatpicking idea

This lesson does not include much theory or technique concepts -- rather, the intention is for you to learn and memorize these specific ideas. This way we can use these lines to create variations in the future.

    @Mickey Abraham that’s amazing. What a great lesson with so many choices. Thanks for sharing this with me.
  • @RolandSchweitzer
    Do what Mikey tells you until it becomes second nature and you'll be well served by these ideas. I could use a little review myself. 🙂

    I loved this lesson. It is already showing up in my improvisation when I might not have played the tune before and everyone is looking at me to play something that fits somewhat tastefully, lol. I’m taking online lessons with Mickey and he has helped me a bunch already.
  • It's a wonderful feeling when you start rambling over the fretboard like on a sunday afternoon walk. Thank's a lot for the good lesson, Mikey😊

    This is the most useful video I've found since I started learning how to flat pick. Thank you!

    It took a month, there are at least 20 licks here, completely altered my guitar learning direction in a way Mickey showed is awesome baby, really. It was hard.

    Simple runs. Great bluegrass lesson. Thanks. I’m gonna start working on them
  • @fsusubdad
    Having the video to refer to really helps to reinforce these ideas! I will practice like a ninja!!! :)

    Nice nuts and bolts lesson Mickey. I like the pause before the Munroe lick, so it ends in time. I also noticed that you have a built in sense of dynamics, highlighting the big notes, at the right times.

    Nice 👍 that chromatic lick for sure inspired by Norman Blake ❤

    Unreal stuff I love this type of stuff it’s not overly complicated and it can be used in real life instead of a Bb75 over a 9 with a 6 on top 😂😂😂thanks Mickey I love your lessons I’m Gona learn a lot from u cheers my man .. Brian Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸oh I just bought strum machine it’s a great little app although sometimes I use a looper but strum machine is so convenient and great for practice thanks again so happy I found you .. excellent teaching I will be spreading the word bro about you 🇮🇪🇮🇪
  • @shennessful
    I like the way you showed how to use Strum Machine to practice.
  • It took me a week to figure out the chromatic pentium. Now I can try all of the over Strum Machine.

    If you got a rock n roll heart this will be second nature when you are stuck for something to play ❤
