Johnny Cash is much more fun to play if you turn the distortion and volume way up, and up the tempo just a smidge. I don't think there is a song the man sings that can't be punked up just a bit.
Upyerkilt,
Don't worry about the different types of Country. Country's country. Any kind of music genre that can include Freddy Fender, Jimmy Buffett, and Taylor Swift can't be terribly well defined. If it's based on a major pentatonic scale without TOO many flatted thirds and sevenths, then it's probably Country.

hey reb, didnt feel left out, just a crack at the people in my town who wont or cant play a little country. its funny because every muscian here plays the blues but refuses to play country. didnt Hank say counry aint nothing but the white mans blues?
Country is blues, except Country's version of the pentatonic scale doesn't include flatted thirds and sevenths. Play a Country song using a minor scale, and you've got Blues. Play Blues in a major scale, and you've got Country. If you can tell me the difference between Honky Tonk Country and Boogie Woogie Blues aside from the number of Stars & Bars bumper stickers on the cars in the parking lot at the venue, then I'll surely owe you one 'cause I don't think there is one.

Well you have to keep in mind that Hank learned to play from an old blues guitarists named Rufus Payne (hank called him Tee Tot). There wasn't a huge difference between the two, (they both came from the same place really...) except for the race of the singer. When early music began to be marketed black singers went under 'blues' and white singers went under 'hillbilly music' or something similar.

lol Well I hope you've found this thread helpful... If you ever have questions concerning country music im the one to ask.
Oh yeah i read you're comment about Willie Nelson... its funny because i watched on T.V. the show he did in Houston (or soemthing like that it was a local channel so im guessing beaumont or houston) and he was really really bad. Im not sure if its his age or if he'd just finished up some mary jane lol
