Lately I've really been getting into country rock guitar like Brad paisley, Brent Mason, Johnny Hiland, Albert Lee etc. I was wondering what are some of the best profiles for playing country rock and chicken pickin on the Kemper? You can include free and pay profiles. I'm looking for tones especially like Brad Paisley and, Albert Lee and Johnny Hiland. I love that twangy tone. I wish I had a tele but I have some Carvins that could probably fit the bill.
Hello, check for every fender and vintage amps you'll find in the free rig pack from Andy (on Kemper website / dowload section / Rig pack 04 ). try the dream delay first ( 69' fender blackface, amazing !!). Don't forget to tweak it to suit your needs and use single coils , and yes tele is the best option here . Every KPA should be delivered with a free telecaster IMO
"Here's a tune from my new album. The song is called Business
in the front, party in the back and has pretty much every country lick I
know in it.
This is my ode to the great Brent Mason, Brad Paisley and Albert Lee. Yee-haw!"
"I think I used a 65 amps Tupelo profile on most of the twangy stuff.
Found it somewhere in the forum. Really good for clean/slightly overdriven stuff.
I also used a couple of Blankenship profiles on there as well..."
Here is another fast country tune played by Robin Gallagher.

He use fender factory profiles for the clean sound and a Mesa for the gain.

Country guitar tone
Check out the TAF Teeny Tiny Feet Profile (thanks to Will)...it's a 1969 Deluxe Reverb Profile from Andy.
Switch all FX OFF and start from scratch...it's an amazing Deluxe Reverb clean tone, you can increase the gain on this one and it just gets better.
Johnny Hiland Chicken Pickin Guitar. Meet one of Nashville's true guitar stars as Johnny Hiland takes you through some key aspects of country playing. As well as chicken pickin', he covers double-stops, pedal steel licks, pick-and-finger hybrid picking, banjo rolls and lots more. He's also joined by Arlen Roth, Bill Holloman, and Shannon Ford for some truly memorable band segments.
Johnny's a great player, evidenced by some of the great live playing that is captured in the studio on this disc. He's also a really good teacher who takes the time to explain things and slow them down for you. His playing is well described on the video and in the booklet, which includes tab and standard notation. Johnny also talks a bit about his influences and gives them credit (Danny Gatton, Albert Lee). And this is not for stone cold beginners, If you can play pentatonic minor, blues scales you'll be ok with some work. This video provides detailed instruction in an easy to use format. Not only does Johnny Hiland explain the material, he plays through each lick slowly and the licks can be slowed down to half speed while retaining the proper pitch. The material he provides is practical and usable for the average guitarist. As a bonus, there are three live performances where Johnny Hiland shows off his virtuosity.
Johnny Hiland grew up in the small town of Baileyville, Maine. He was born legally blind with an eye disease known as nystagmus, which did not allow him to grow up like most children. He could not do the things that sighted children could do like playing baseball, kickball, and so on. Therefore, he started playing guitar at age 2, and loved it. He played for family and friends, won local talent contests, and went on to perform his first tv show at age 7. His career took off when Johnny won the "Talent America Contest," at age 10, in New York City. He had a band with sister, Jodi, and brother, Jerry, called, The 3 J's." They performed all over New England as a part of the Downeast Country Music Association. They had fun, playing for people, and Johnny grew as an artist playing guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and other instruments as well.
His father had taken him to see Ricky Skaggs perform in Bangor, Maine, and Johnny immediately went from pickin' bluegrass to wanting a telecaster. As a teen, Johnny spent countless hours learning and developing his own blend of chicken pickin,' rock, blues, and swing; while pickin' in a number of different bands around the state of Maine. After finishing high school, and 3 years of college, he moved to Nashville in 1996
