I performed an 18-song set of original country music with the Frost ensemble Sunshine State on Tuesday 11/5! This past semester has been a great introduction to country music for me, as I learned a lot about rhythm playing and improvisation in a very new genre. I really enjoyed analyzing the guitar parts of artists such as Brent Mason, Vince Gill, and Jason Isbell, in order to model their styles and incorporate them into my own playing.
Thank you so much to Dr. Brian Russell for introducing me to this genre, guiding my learning, and giving me this opportunity! And thank you to my bandmates!
