If you like free stuff I have a free book on country guitar at http://jimlillmusic.com/book. It’s called “The Graphic Guide To Country Guitar” and it gives you some things to work on and tips+tricks for getting the craft of country guitar playing down.

This video was made to get more people into playing country guitar by showing the history, important artists, monster guitarists, and licks that are within reach.

There are plenty of beginner country guitar lessons on YouTube, but I wanted there to be a video that taught the things that would have made the process of learning country guitar easier when I was first getting into country guitar.
