Country Rhythms, Vol. 1 (Coming Soon)

Country music is defined as much by its rhythms as it is by its chords and melodies. In this collection of rhythm studies, Matthew Lee will help you develop a stronger feel for the grooves that drive country guitar while giving you practical rhythmic approaches you can use right away.



Matt guides you through the essential rhythmic feels of the style, showing you how to lock into the groove, strengthen your timing, and use touch and articulation to make even simple parts sound more authentically country.



“In country music, how you play is just as important as what you play. We’re going to work through the grooves and rhythmic feels that really define the style.

The goal is to get these rhythms into your hands and your ears so they start to feel natural. As you internalize them, your timing and touch will start to lock in, and you’ll have a much stronger foundation for country rhythm guitar.

We’ll break everything down step by step so you can focus on the feel, understand what makes each groove work, and start bringing that sound into your own playing.”



Matt will break down each rhythm step by step, helping you understand how the groove feels, where the accents sit, and how timing and articulation work together to create the character of the style.



You’ll explore different rhythmic approaches and feels that give you more options when you’re accompanying a singer, playing with a band, or building your own country guitar parts.



Working through these studies will help you strengthen your timing, develop a better feel for country rhythm, and build the confidence to lock into the groove when these rhythmic ideas come up in real songs.



You’ll get standard notation and tabs for the performance studies, along with TrueFire’s interactive learning tools so you can loop, slow down, and sync the notation directly to the video lessons. Backing tracks are also included so you can practice the rhythms on your own.



Grab your guitar and let’s dig in with Matthew Lee!
