This book and accompanying audio provide instruction and playable examples for guitarists looking to get into the sounds rooted in classic country music, as well as more modern approaches to the genre. Rhythm playing is explored through shuffle patterns, travis picking and trucking riffs. Lead playing is approached through double stop licks, steel bends, and single note runs. Short examples are presented in each chapter and then combined in longer etudes with chord changes, ready for use in your own solos!
