Great Course to Get Grounded in Country Music
I'm up the Roy Nichols lesson in this course and it's fantastic. You get the foundations of country music along with a ton of country licks, rhythms and soloing strategies. It's also a history lesson taking you from the beginnings of country guitar soloing up to present day. Great course if you want to get grounded in country music.
