Many guitar players are attracted to country music even though it may not be their first choice of guitar style. Country is a completely different way of playing guitar which gives your overall musicianship a big boost.

Let’s look at which country guitar players are regarded as the ones to listen to. There are many country artists who are not technical virtuosos, so if you have been watching Brad Paisley and Brent Mason, take comfort in the fact that you do not need to play up a storm. There are the originators of the chicken pickin technique, Don Rich and Roy Nichols, and don’t forget to check out Chet Atkins and Hank Williams.

Here is Don Rich at work with The Buckaroos:

As for country guitar techniques, chicken pickin is a good one to put on the top of your list. Hammer-ons and pull-offs are standard techniques in country music. You also need to get your string bending up to speed to get that pedal-steel sound. Probably you would be well advised to work on your sound before getting too deeply into country guitar technique. Your picking is near the bridge and you will need to be able to use your string muting to good effect.
