I feel bad for being slack on creating new articles for my website so I whipped one up the other night.
Basically it's a 12 bar section from a standard country tune, with a breakdown of the solo bits. I hate working stuff out before I record it, so my process is usually to do a bunch of takes until clever or interesting ideas start to develop, then I feel like I have a worthy addition to the song. I try to explain some of that process in the article.
