 “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.
Overview of Country Guitar
Lessons
Our country
guitar lessons cover everything from understanding 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.
