Staccato
In Country guitar playing, many notes and chords are cut off as soon as they are played. This makes the rhythms very crisp and clear. The technique of cutting notes shorter than their written value is called staccato. This is usually achieved by lifting the left hand off the fretboard as soon as the note is played. Staccato is indicated by a dot placed directly above or below the intended note.
Example 73 is a simple lick played within pattern two in the key of G.
Example 74 is the same lick as example 73, but staccato is used.
