The Top 10 Country Chord Progressions Of All Times… By Virtuwul

Note: These aren’t necessarily “the greatest songs”… I selected them because I felt they we’re good examples to learn from… And I enjoy playing all of these… ENJOY!

Please notify us if there’s any mistakes… We’re NOT perfect.

So, in here you will find the chord progressions for the following songs: 1. I Walk The Line – Johnny Cash 2. He Stopped Loving Her Today – George Jones 3. Always on My Mind – Willie Nelson 4. Dance - Garth Brooks 5. Forever and Ever, Amen - Randy Travis 6. I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton 7. Amazed - Lonestar 8. Crazy - Patsy Cline 9. Today I Started Loving You Again - Merle Haggard 10. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash Now… we didn’t print the lyrics for copyright reasons… but the point here is NOT to learn how to play stuff note by note… What I suggest is you put on the Cds… and Step 1 (beginners): STRUM with it. When you can strum along with the songs… you are one your way to Acoustic Mastery… STEP 2 (intermediate): Pick along with the songs… Step 3 (intermediate to advanced): Start adding some of the techniques: pull off transitions, slide chords, etc… Step 4 (intermediate to advanced): Use some of the concepts inside Acoustic Mastery to PLAY with the guitar on the CD, meaning you play stuff a little differently… Doing this exercise will GREATLY improve your ear… and your acoustic mastery… As Einstein said, “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.” -Albert Einstein SONGWRITERS PAY ATTENTION:

Most of these songs are INCREDIBLY easy to play once you have a basic to intermediate level… DON’T LET THAT FOOL YOU… You should rehearse and play these songs and sing with these songs over and over again… Your brain will start to KNOW what world-class songwriting looks like… You might be surprised when you craft your own hit song…
