Luther kinda progressed through all of these styles at times. Such a great place for anyone to start. When I was little I could play Luther songs with the guitar in my lap and just using my thumb over the top. Without Luther, I am certain I wouldn't be playing guitar. His stuff was mostly simple, and with minimal skill, someone can learn an entire song. Country music was forever changed by him so most definitely, my favorite country player has to be Luther Perkins.
Brad Paisley has top notch rhythms. He is known for lead solos but if you listen to the guitar “tic tac “ that he plays over vocals, they are fantastic.
Love this kind of stuff ❤ I'm in the process of figuring out the best way to approach lead, as I want to learn that, but this rhythm stuff is very important. Thank you for your videos ❤
First of all, love this and your sound. I had stepped away for the rhythm part that starts at about 2:35, and I thought it was acoustic guiar, but then the snappy sound is great too! Second: Pete Anderson. Rhythm guitar doesn't have to be chords, and his playing on stuff like "Please Please Baby" reminds me that a low-end single line is rhythm playing, and then on "Readin', Rightin', Rte. 23" it's this great little cluck. He's the best!
Great video and you are spot on in regard to how much control a rhythm player has over a track, and a well practiced one knows that! As for great rhythm and lead players specifically in the country genre and in particular on the tele, I would have to add Jimmy Olander of Diamond Rio to the list as I didn’t see him mentioned here with all of the other greats that were. Thanks for the video, I’ve enjoyed watching and practicing with you over the past few days as a new subscriber.
I'm a Commander Cody fan since I used to go see them live back in the '70s. Most fun band I ever saw in my life. One of my favourite country rhythm/lead players is the great Bill Kirchen, who was with the band since its inception. Bill covers all the bases and he's still going strong today.
Man, I am so glad @stevetharms gave you a shout out on his page. Every video I watch "yep, im gonna need to purchase that course" ha.. Awesome stuff! Always played acoustic and love writing songs.. I am ready to learn some country electric guitar
Western swing rhythm guitar - Ranger Doug Green. Much closer to Freddie Green with Count Basie. With rhythm guitar like that, you don't need no stinkin' drummer!
Great lesson! Hands down the best online educator. I have many of your courses as well as a subscription with TrueFire and love all your courses on there too! Definitely buying this one. Thanks for everything Jason!

Johnny Hiland, one of my New Heroes!

Redd Volkaert is a master at country rhythm guitar. His Western swing rhythm is phenomenal ❤
Great content. Never enough rhythm techniques.
Thanks and agreed! It’s what we do 90% of the time
Great tone on that tele

Jason has some great courses for country lead as well, check them out!
Vince Gill plays pretty solid rhythm. Clarence White and Marty Stuart also come to mind.
More than solid, fantastic rhythm players
I was trying not to gush about them.
Dwight yoakaaaaaaam!!!! .... plays great stuff to accompany his singing.

Great stuff, as always. Thanks, Jason.
Is that a new J-Lo signature Tele? Sweet!
It is! My main guitar needs a refret and is unplayable right now
