Great course to expand country fill vocabulary
Focus on reusable fills across classic country styles. No extended solos or chord progressions, just bite sized reusable fills. Excellent course. . . just wish it was longer. Hopefully we'll see a Volume 2 soon. Matthew Lee is one of the best country instructors on True Fire.

A great course on bending
For me, this is the perfect course for learning how to bend strings. It’s also ideal for anyone who doesn’t have much time but wants to achieve great results. I love the feeling with which Matthew Lee plays these licks. Simply masterful.
