• This Is A Must Know Country Rhythm
Here's a fun little trip through the evolution of an essential country rhythm guitar part. We start with a classic strum, then add an alternating bass line to turn it into a bluegrass strum, then we learn how to create a boom chick rhythm. Finally, we go to just single notes and create a Luther Perkins rhythm like you would hear on a Johnny Cash record.
Gear:
Femenella Jason Loughlin Signature Telecaster
Lollar Pickups
Neck PU- Charlie Christian
Bridge PU- Vintage T
Strings: D'Addario 10-46
Amp: 1965 Fender Princeton Reverb with UA OX Box

Redd Volkaert is a master at country rhythm guitar. His Western swing rhythm is phenomenal ❤
-
Robbie Fulks. I got to open for him once and wow! He is an amazing musician, serious top level guitarist.
-
Albert Lee. His kit has all the tools

I'm a Commander Cody fan since I used to go see them live back in the '70s. Most fun band I ever saw in my life. One of my favourite country rhythm/lead players is the great Bill Kirchen, who was with the band since its inception. Bill covers all the bases and he's still going strong today.

Dwight yoakaaaaaaam!!!! .... plays great stuff to accompany his singing.

Luther kinda progressed through all of these styles at times. Such a great place for anyone to start. When I was little I could play Luther songs with the guitar in my lap and just using my thumb over the top. Without Luther, I am certain I wouldn't be playing guitar. His stuff was mostly simple, and with minimal skill, someone can learn an entire song. Country music was forever changed by him so most definitely, my favorite country player has to be Luther Perkins.

Brad Paisley has top notch rhythms. He is known for lead solos but if you listen to the guitar “tic tac “ that he plays over vocals, they are fantastic.

Love this kind of stuff ❤ I'm in the process of figuring out the best way to approach lead, as I want to learn that, but this rhythm stuff is very important. Thank you for your videos ❤

Really good

First of all, love this and your sound. I had stepped away for the rhythm part that starts at about 2:35, and I thought it was acoustic guiar, but then the snappy sound is great too! Second: Pete Anderson. Rhythm guitar doesn't have to be chords, and his playing on stuff like "Please Please Baby" reminds me that a low-end single line is rhythm playing, and then on "Readin', Rightin', Rte. 23" it's this great little cluck. He's the best!
