Christopher Galen’s highly popular Easy Guitar SongPack series now features the first volume of Country songs. You’ll learn to play All the Pretty Girls by Kenny Chesney, Beer Never Broke My Heart by Luke Combs, God’s Country by Blake Shelton, You Should Probably Leave by Chris Stapleton, and The Dance by Garth Brooks.
”In this SongPack, I’ll show you how to play easy, strummable versions of five must-know Country songs you can add to your repertoire immediately.
I’ll get you up and running right away with a quick chord review, and then I'll guide you through each song's structure and its individual components so you'll know precisely what's happening throughout.
You can play these songs all by yourself if you wish, but we’ve also included some backing tracks to play along with, and you’ll have our suite of learning tools at your fingertips so you can learn at your own pace.”
In the first section of the SongPack, Chris teaches you the easiest way to play the chords and strumming patterns. Each song is presented in 4 segments: Song Overview, Song Performance, Song Breakdown, and Playalong with the Band.
The Playalongs are what makes Easy Guitar SongPack really special. The Playalongs have backing tracks with drums, bass, and vocals to give you a real-world musical context. Not only does this make the learning experience a lot more enjoyable, but it also prepares you for playing songs with other musicians.
You’ll have TrueFire’s interactive learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
The demonstrations and performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video with controls for looping, slow motion, fretboard animation, and many other tools designed to accelerate the learning process.
You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks to practice with.
Grab your guitar, and let’s dig in with Christopher Galen!
