Author: A fine and integral part of playing the guitar, is an often underrated and overlooked style: Country guitar. People often think that this style is outdone and/or easy, so they rarely reap the benefits the country guitar instruction has to offer them as a musician. There’s just something about that fun, twangy style of guitar that you just can’t help but love. Even if you’re not really interested in country music, you can’t just overlook the benefits of at least looking into country guitar instruction. I mean, I’m not really a fan of Country music(except ‘Texas Country’, which could be more classified as a more rock-ish kind of feel), and as such, I never really looked into the style for my own playing until quite a bit down the road, but once I did, I was very glad to have been swept in by this fun style of playing.
So, for this lesson, we’re going to give you guys some tabs to read so you can see what would be in store for you in Country guitar instruction. This will be a short lesson, where we’ll give you guys tabs, and a link to some of our personal favorites in this area. So, let’s get started!
A simple riff you can play that’s fun and easy to learn would be:
E ——————————————
B ——————————————
G ——————————————
D –3-3-2———————-0-3-0—-
A ———5-3—————3————
E —————5-6–3-1—————–
Give that a go over a few times, see how it feels. Feels good, eh?
Some of you may have recognized that as a riff that Johnny Cash played in a few of his songs. It sounds good when he does it, and it’ll sound good when you do it!
This was a quick and fun little tidbit of country guitar instructions. We have our personal favorites here:
1) Amazon.com’s Guitar Instructions
3) Youtube
Honestly, finding country guitar instruction that will suit you isn’t hard and you will constantly reap the benefits of practicing this style. We hope you enjoyed this post as much as we enjoyed writing it!
