Notes

Studio recording, 1990s. Brent Mason played the riff section for Alan Jackson's 'Country Boy' using his '68 Telecaster into a '67 Fender Deluxe Reverb. The setup is confirmed for Alan Jackson's 1990s studio recordings, but no explicit mention of 'Country Boy'—however, this is the established rig for his classic country tracks of the era.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced chicken pickin' and hybrid picking at a fast tempo, with tight muting and precise articulation, making it challenging for most players.
