Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a chicken picking guitar lick in the style of Brent Mason. I didn't add any vocal instruction, because I wasn't sure how to explain how to play this. It is quite advanced playing, and there are a lot of things going on with the left and right hand. If you have any questions, post them in my forum or as a comment below and I will try and help.
The first 3 notes on the B string are E, F, and D#, while the A# on the E string stays put. The first note E is hammered-on up to F. I wrote is as a bend in the Tab, but it's really a hammer-on with the middle and ring finger. I use Guitar Pro 5 for writing this down, and if I use a hammer-on when entering the notes, I can't get it to sound right. The GP5 file sounds correct when played.
Update! Chris S. has kindly supplied me with a correct GP5 file - Thanks a lot, Chris!

Comments on this video lesson:
Thanks Chris, this kind of lick is hard to explain for me. I wanted to try a non-verbal video for this one. I used GP5 to write the tab and notation, and it sounds right when you listen to it through GP5, but I know it's not perfect. Please, if you have better tab, see what you can come up with to make it better. Thanks!
Comment added on August 30, 2009I just wanted to say although I think this lesson, like your other ones, is pretty cool, it could use more explanation. I do think it's good practice for people to try to figure out how licks are played, but your GP5 file is also a little misleading and not just when it comes to the legato parts. If you'd like, I could make a more accurate tab for this.
Thanks for all the lessons; I've learned a lot.
I printed out the notation for this, and it doesn't seem to quite jive with what I see you playing in the video.
