The "Outlaw Country" lesson covers a gritty, modern sounding country riff that straddles the line between country and rock-n-roll. While the hybrid technique, steel guitar backing and overall feel keep one foot in country. While the big drums and minor key with power chords harken back to something heavier like a...Led Zeppelin. Enjoy!
