Hey! This is John again; today I want to show you how to play the song Country Man by Luke Bryan. It's got a great riff, so lets get started. This song has three major chords, first one is going to be your E and you have your B, I play in the A formation, then an A. And the start up riff is probably the harder part of the song but even as I shoot it pretty easy, once you get hang of it, sounds like this. Now I will walk you through how I played that. Basically, you are going to start off, I should have my fingers on the E chord most of the time I am playing it. And start off with first finger, the G string first fret, right there. And then I go to the second fret of my D string. Those were the first two notes. I play this again, the D. Then I do sort of walk down, I go open G, first fret, second fret. So it sounds like, that's like that again, that second fret there. Then I am going to play an open B, then I am on the first fret of my G string, then second fret of my D string. So I am going to put the D very slowly here. And do that again, just those first two notes. And then what I do is I play my B chord, I just do a power chord and sort of go, just like that. So we got and then I play an open A like that. Then I play the second fret of my E string, then try to get an E chord in there and then sort of the same thing all over again. Play that three times and then the end part is actually going to be a little different. It's going to go, I kind of bended a little at the end, same for my E string but I go. So that's second fret of my A string, open A, second part of my E string, I bend it, open A.
