If you can play, it doesn't matter what guitar use.

I'm from Eastern Canada. We don't have cowboys here like they do in the West, although lots of people like country music. I'm a long-time guitarist, and new pedal steel player, playing with the first country band I've ever been a part of. We're about to do our first gig, and I wondered if this hat,...

Vintage bluegrass groups can be very illustrative about balancing everything on a single mic. Obviously, the dynamics of an all-acoustic ensemble is different that a group with electric instruments and amplifiers. Watch Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys (even Hot Rize a gene...

I just recently got this course and I can't say enough good about it!!! Newbies to intermediate players, if your goal is to play in a band and back up the singer, this is a must have course. It's four hours of DVD teaching, a CD with practice tracks, and a tab booklet. It's packed with goodies. He ...

Not that it's important or anything but since a lot of us pickers here discuss different topics at times, I was wondering if the big players like Emmons, Day, Hughey, Rugg, Myrick and several others in that group had particular guitar colors they preferred or didn't prefer. I like to checkout a pla...

You can't just put a set of finger picks on and play. You have to bend the blades so they hit the strings at the right angle, and you'll be playing with the correct hand position that will allow you to block when you're ready to learn that technique. I suggest you talk to an experienced player and ...

Backup can be taught. It is that no on wants to teach it. All you have to do is learn the steel part to one C&W song from beginning to end and it will start falling in place. Another thing to try is to start your steel line beginning on the last beat of each vocal line and be sure to stop just ...
