Conclusion of the Course

Congratulations! You've made it all the way through the course.

A Journey Through Country Music

We've explored:

• The beginnings of old-time music
• The evolution to contemporary country music

The Cycle of Country Music

For the last 50 years, country music has been in a cycle that includes:

• Going back to its roots
• Moving forward to the most commercial version of country music

This cycle typically spans about 10 to 15 years. During this time:

• People often grow tired of the contemporary sound and yearn for a return to the roots.
• Eventually, the genre shifts back to a more contemporary sound.

Exploring Contemporary Sound

To conclude, we will focus on a middle-of-the-road contemporary sound, which features:

• Twanging guitars
• Rock-inspired rhythms
• Lots of drums

Backing Track

I will show you a backing track that includes a:

• Verse
• Chorus
• Solo for the song titled "Both Kinds of Music"

Final Assignment

As a final assignment, I encourage you to:

1. Visit my YouTube channel, The Fiddle Channel.
2. Search for classic country songs such as:
   • "Ring of Fire"
   • "Country Roads"
   • "Amarillo"
3. Try applying some of the techniques we discussed to these songs.

I hope you enjoy this journey and find a country band to play in!
