Let's focus specifically on one genre of music this week. Country music is typically associated with southern states in the US. The guitar (along with the banjo, fiddle and the harmonica) is a commonly played instrument in this genre. This makes it easier to find songs to play as the instrument is central to this style of playing. Famous country musicians include Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton along with earlier albums by Taylor Swift.
