This is the first in what I expect will be a mini series on Country Music. It is such a huge subject I can't begin to cover it in one course so if you like Country Music take this course, watch this space for more coming your way soon, and tell me what you would like to see in the next Country Music course
In this course you will learn to play Will The Circle Be Unbroken by AP Carter and The Carter Family and also Hank Williams' Hey Good Looking on your harmonica.
The start will be easy and then you may find the end part gets a bit tasty!
You will learn:
- the tunes - note for note

- some improvising scales
- two different harmonica positions
- how Charlie McCoy approaches playing
- some of the wonderful riffs Charlie McCoy uses
