I have a keyboard and know a few basic chords on it but would like to accompany myself doing some country songs.
I do know the most basic way to do this, a bass note on beat one followed by the chord, a fifth on beat 3 and chord again on beat four, but I want to add a few nice country licks to spice it up, not interested in doing the melody of song at the moment.
I have looked at a good number of tutorials on Youtube but nothing really stands out to me as the way to go.
I am a guitar player so really will spend most time on it, but want to spend a little more time on keyboard too.
Which era country are you referring to? The above list is very applicable to classic country. Floyd Cramer would be my first recommendation. One of his signature ‘flavors’ is a grace 2nd degree of a scale note leading into the 3 note of the chord, scale etc. He does other grace notes as well. Being able to this is the essence of Floyd Cramer. It’s the equivalent of appropriate bending of notes In electric guitar playing and knowing how to apply proper sounding up/down strokes in strumming on acoustic rhythm guitar.
Mainly classical country Rocsktar_Not, to be honest I'm trying to get a country sound on the keyboards, maybe with a few simple licks that sounds good for backing songs, so not interested in adding the melody line as well.
Maybe spend 3 hours or so a week building up my proficiency on the keyboards that I have had lying around for a good number of years.
Would like to spend more time at it, but want to play and improve on the guitar as well.
Not enough time, I'm afraid at my age to get really good on any of these instruments.
I'm glad you asked this question. Otherwise, I would not have found this. One of my all-time favorite songs. Gonna learn it myself. Great Country licks that can be apply to other things (the ones above this can, too)
