Easy Country Songs on guitar for beginners

We will see on how to play country on the guitar. Country (also called country & western or country music) is a musical genre that emerged in the 1920s in the rural regions of the South of the United States and the Maritimes of Canada and Australia. In its origins, it combined the folk music of some European countries of immigrants, mainly Ireland, with other musical forms already rooted in North America, such as blues, spiritual, religious music and gospel. The term country began to be used in the 1950s to the detriment of the term hillbilly, which was the form in which it was known until then, ending its consolidation in the 1970s.

Country music, which has millions of fans around the world, but especially in the United States, Canada and Australia, is also enjoying some popularity in Europe, particularly in Ireland, the Scandinavian countries and Germany.
