Fun Way to Play Classic Country Hits!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this method! It makes learning country guitar enjoyable and achievable. The step-by-step approach guides you through styles reminiscent of the greats, and the 23 great country songs make you feel like you're sounding like the record from day one. The online audio with PLAYBACK+ is fantastic for slowing things down, letting me relax and truly enjoy the learning process at my own pace.

Guitar Texture for Vocal Accompaniment
Even as a vocal coach, understanding guitar accompaniment is key. This book offers valuable insights into *how* country guitar supports a melody. The distinct 'Carter Style' and 'Travis Picking' techniques provide rich textural options, teaching clear accompaniment patterns that truly enhance a vocal line rather than just doubling it. It's an excellent resource for any guitarist looking to truly complement a vocalist or ensemble.
