Topic: Modern Country Chords Wanted

Hi y'awl.


Does anyone know any country songs that are kinda easy to play.


Avoiding the F & B chords, I've only been playing for 3 or 4 months and they're just WAY too outta my league!


Thanks for any help or advice y'awl can give.

My recomendation is to try playing some <u>Merle Haggard </u>songs because most of the songs are only three chords.  He usually revolves around the key of G.

G suits me, a great sounding chord.


Thanks for that Martzw

Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr don't stray too far from easy chords...

Johnny Cash and Hank Williams are never unmodern and easy to play, at least then can be easy played without sounding bad <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif" border=0 alt="Wink">


What I also like is some Songs by Lee Hazlewood and Waylon Jennings.


But as I am concerned no good country song has to go beyond the standard chords to sound good.
