Country — Guitar

On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony. That steady, road-trip sway of storytelling songs is the heart of country: a simple, constant pulse carrying verses about everyday life. Here you'll find the genre's strumming patterns — in other words, the hand motions that create its trademark back-and-forth between low and high.
