 Country Guitar Lessons – Guitar
Techniques
 “Country Roads take me home,” the soulful rendition backed by melody chords
of the country guitar packs more melancholy. Since then rock music has transformed into several
sub-genres but country music still remains the same.
The country guitar is not a separate instrument and can easily
be played on your acoustic or electric guitar. It is just the scales and chords that you need to master through
country guitar lessons.
There are many names in the country guitar hall of fame like
Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Albert Lee, Tony Rice, Jerry Byrd, and Red Rhodes and several others. It has not been an
easy walk for these men but it can be an easy walk for you with our specially developed country guitar lessons for
beginners.

Lessons

the fundamentals of country guitars to learning how to play the guitar as a beginner. Our country guitar lessons
are easy to learn and well-spread out so that you can get ample time for practice as well.
First Phase
The first phase of the country guitar lessons include the
fundamentals focusing on country music theory, the notations, chords, scales, and rhythms. You will learn about
intonation, which basically will help you to understand how you can keep the same pitch throughout the
fretboard.
Second Phase
In phase two of the country guitar lessons, you will focus on
the 7 basic open guitar chords (E-minor, C, D, G, A-minor, E, and A), movable chords, and barre. Barre chords are
where you will use one or more fingers to hold down multiple chords. Most of the variations of A and E chords
comprise of barre chords. By the end of the phase 2, you will have got a fair idea of country guitar and how to
play it smoothly.
Third Phase
With the third phase of country guitar lessons, you will be
stepping into an intermediate zone as you will focus on various fingerpicking techniques and strumming patterns.
The strumming pattern for the country guitar is quite similar to that of the blues guitar and you will learn to
play rhythm, as well as solo in pentatonic scales also known as the blues scale.
One of the most important part of country guitar lessons is
mastering the 12-bar blues progression, which includes playing open strings based on I-IV-V chords of a key. There
are three chords in this progression called the Tonic, sub-dominant, and dominant.
In the last phase of country guitar lessons, you will focus on
country arpeggios, picking and learning different country styles like Boogie-woogie, riffs, and double-stop riffs.
The double-stop riffs is not as complicated to play as it sounds; all you will have to do is learn how to play two
notes together.
Viola! Your basic country guitar lessons are over and now you
are ready to write your own lyrics and create a country music solo. The crux of our country guitar lessons is that
we offer you a platform where you can learn, play and have fun.
