Steve Earle's Guitar Town! The title track off his 1986 debut album. It topped the Billboard country album charts, and the title song reached #7 on the country singles charts. Earle was also nominated for two 1987 Grammy Awards, Best Male Country Vocalist and Best Country Song, for the title track. It was just the most amazing song to have heard that year.

These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it.

Why this is important to Rhythm Guitar:
It's a perfect example of how to add hooks to a song that is being strummed that hard. Richard's Bennett is an amazing guitarist/producer, and currently plays in Mark Knopfler's band as Rhythm Guitarist. He's one of my all time fave guitar players. So tasty. His riffs just make the tune.

What a great team effort here.
