Since the release of my first "Modern Chicken Pickin" DVD, I've had many requests to make a video lesson with solos over the "Folsom" progression in the key of E, so here it is! "Folsom Blues Solo Ideas" includes 4 kick butt modern country chicken pickin guitar solos played over the old classic. Of course, these licks can be played over hundreds of others progressions as well, and that's why I named it "Solo Ideas".
In addition to teaching you some awesome sounding country guitar licks, I also spend
some time going over some rhythm pattern idea's as well. Great lead playing starts
with a solid foundation and understanding of rhythm playing. This is how you
develop a "groove" that will spill over to your lead playing.
I've Tabbed out each and every lick
myself, note for note. So you don't have to
worry about the tab being off like most of the tableture out there. I've also included
the GPX files so you can play them on
Guitar Pro Software
if you have it. Guitar
Pro makes it even easier to learn these hot chicken pickin licks because you can hear the tab play as
you watch it on the screen!
With influences from some great chicken pickers like Brent Mason, Brad Paisley, Ray Flacke
and
others, you'll learn some cool sounding "Ear Twisters" using syncopated licks and
other techniques such as open string licks, double stops, the use of two note
intervals, string bending, hitting the "blue note", and much, much more.
Every Lick Is explained in close up detail
with right and left hand veiws.
Included with the DVD is a CD that's loaded up with files that contain Tabs for every lick, as well as GPX Tab files for those with Guitar Pro. You get an album full of Jam Tracks that include two speeds, one track with the lead ride, and the other without.

Testimonials
" I'm in the middle of "Folsom Blues" at the moment. Comparing all three songs note I'm finding a few licks that sound very similar, but vary from song to song. Though in
different keys, it helps me understand the lick itself and how it's connected to the
"main box" in that particular key."

" All that extra detail is very helpful because your " I think that the way you did the first one is ideal, i.e. One song per video, because lick and then say, "see the tab", which is cool but not nearly the level of detail that you go into so much detail.
All that extra detail is very helpful because your you go into.... There are so many extra things I'm learning from your DVD about customers have a wide variety of skill levels...
Many instructional DVD's just play the music in general, where the chords stack up on the fretboard, how such and such lick works with what chord etc, that I wouldn't (likely) be picking up on if you just breezed through it to get to the next lick." AJ in Wisconsin

" Man, you really are a briliant musician and you've got a way to just keep me going! At first the stuff was really difficult, but after a while (about a week, 4hours a day) I really got the hang of it. I haven't had this much fun in a long time!! Thanks for everything Ken"...... Peet in South Africa

One jam track is a completely different rock groove where I play the same licks, but with a different "feel" and syncopation to help give you an idea how to apply these licks in various songs. Plus, I've included Free Slowdown Software and a Desktop Tuner!
What's good about the dvd is its production quality and his thoroughness in his dissection of his playing and other matters related to amplified guitar. Greg

Just received Ken Carlson's new video FOLSOM PRISON BLUES SOLOS. Great video with some really nice licks. Some great solos and he explains everything so even I can understand. Not just how but why. Has a good website also with a lot of free teaching videos. Chentech46

Beyond the great instruction on the DVD, Ken seems like a real class act. He answers emails and responds to questions real quick.I keep going back to the DVD and learning something new and applying it to my own playing.
I think that, in terms of Country music, one of the most valuable (and elusive) aspects of learning is understanding how certain licks & scales fit over what chords, and beyond that is knowing the licks that make for good transitions between the chordsThis DVD has really helped me with that in many ways...Alan
This guitar lesson DVD is loaded
up full of great sounding licks that you can quickly learn and add to your own arsenal of chops. I go into great detail breaking down each lick to help you understand the chord shapes behind them and the scale idea's I use to navigate the neck as I play them.
If you've got my first Chicken Pickin DVD, your going to love this one. I've got some great feedback from customers all over the world, and they say it's really helping them to understand how to put licks together and come up with their own guitar lead riffs and solo's. Check out some feedback I've recently received from other guitar players on the right hand column of this page.
NOTE: The video quality on these samples are poor and for some unknown reason, the audio is slightly out of synch. The Actual DVD And Downoad Lessons Are Of High Quality And In Perfect Synch.

The DVD is wonderful for the level that I'm at: a few licks that shouldn't be to difficult and enough challenging ones. The greatest challenge will be to get them up to speed, but speed will come.
I own some of the other "country" licks DVD/CDs that are out there, but my first impression tells me that I will spent most of my time learning with yours. Cheers, Gerhard
