Where to Start re. Country Guitarists??

Guest

I'm an experienced guitar player and want to start to listen and learn from some good country guitarists. Where can I begin to compile some good stuff to learn from (both basic and advanced)? Thanks in advance!!

Find a Bret Mason video.

How about Pete Anderson, producer and guitarist for Dwight Yoakam? He has some solo stuff on his own Lucky Dog Records also. Jerry

I think if you listen to Willie Nelson, you'll learn a lot about expression. Willie can't play fast licks, but his simple one-string solos sound as good as anything Eric Clapton or Jimmie Hendrix could ever do.

If you want to start out with good twangy stuff get some old Buck Owens records and listen to Don Rich for awhile. Anything by Vince Gill or Steve Wariner is good for advanced stuff...same with Albert Lee. Brent Mason's DVDs are not for the squeamish...Brent has a real difficult time slowing down his moves and it can be frustrating. If you want chicken picken instructional stuff go to YouTube and search for Doug Seven...he's got that stuff down to a "t'.

I'm sorry...but if you learn to play guitar by listening to any Willie records (at least any after Red Headed Stranger) people will just laugh at you. Willie's entire stick is to play incredibly behind the beat...all the time. He's the only one who can get away it.

I read they are making a video this week so until thats ready, check out some licks and steel guitar at her website. If she's good enough for McPherson - I figured I'd check her out and was very impressed
rissipalmer dot com.

Here's some background infoI am a new HUGE fan of this artist named RISSI PALMER. She has an amazing album out that features this single called “Country Girl” that’s already been on the Billboard charts. She’s got a single out that I heard was produced by Taylor Swift’s producer called “No Air” which is a remake of the Jordin Sparks single. Rissi "countrifies" the song with nice fiddle, mandolin, and steel guitar and her vocals are awesome. I just found the single since its not on the album on iTunes. If you like Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Trish Yearwood, Colbie Caillat, Natasha Beddingfield, Mariah, India, Norah, Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow kinda of stuff – you will LOVE RISSI PALMER.
Hear the single at iTunes
