I have played off and on for years, but always chords/ rhythm. Now I have a regular gig as part of an acoustic duo, and sing and play chords on acoustic folk/Irish/ Americana. I have been adding in fingerstyle and basic Travis picking, but I want to keep developing and learn how to play, uh, melodies. (Do you call it "lead" when you're playing acoustic with a fiddle player?)
Should I just start with the pentatonic? What resources do you all recommend for acoustic/ Americana? I don't want to shred or djent, but I would like to be able to play useful fills or a 16-bar solo in Carrickfergus or Cover Me Up. Where should I start? Thanks!
(P.S. I have a MIM Strat as well, and look forward to having fun with that too, but acoustic is the priority at the moment.)
