Music is a language, a poem with simple words can have a meaning that is not that simple. It's not the words, it's the message. |

The other night we auditioned an excellent guitar player but sadly, he had no clue about country music. Needless to say he did not get the job. He thought that overuse of his chorus effect made him a country player. In his own genure he was great but for us he was terrible. |

I'm not a country musician, but what appears to be most challenging about today's country music are the vocal harmonies. As for today's rock music, I haven't heard many groups who can harmonize well. So in that respect, country would not be easy. |

Even some "country" artists can't do it very well  |

I just realized something. I play steel in a "Country" band and none of us do it for a living. We do it just because we share the love for good ol` Country Music, even though we live in a small country overseas. We play covers and when you come to think of it we have really put ourselves on an impossible task. What people expect to hear when you`re out on the band stand is what they`re used to hear on CD. So what we`re up against is our lead guitarist trying to sound like Brent Mason, me trying to copy Paul Franklin or Jay Dee Maness and the rest trying to copy others of Nashville`s finest - which, of course, is an impossible task. Country Music easy to play??? NOT!  |
