I made a video on 6 albums I recommend, but certain members suggested I only post here to promote myself... so don't post my own stuff anymore
If you want to do the rock-influenced thing though, check out Johnny Hiland's first album.
Brent Mason is my hero, he's played on a TON of records (I'm really fond of his work with Alan Jackson) but his Hot Wired solo record is awesome.
Also - if you like all that bending - check out Jerry Donohue (with the Hellecasters)
As always, tag me if you need any more advice!

You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

I like country music I think, the guitar playing/musicianship always strikes me as very good. Not sure I would go and watch a solo singer, but I would definitely go and watch a band
Would love a an 8 litre pickup though!!

For modern Country look up Sam Hunt, Walker Hayes, Florida Georgia line with Bebe Rexha.
Just to see how bad it has become.
For those of us who remember R n B as Yardbirds, spencer Davis Group etc and not Beyoncé will see what I am getting at. If you want to hear real modern country music that is actually Country you need to listen to my show on Tuesday nights. And give up on Bob (I've sold out Harris.
I have bookmarked the Abbey 104 online radio page and will tune in tomorrow night.
I would advise getting into to country music because you like country music, not because you are impressed with a load of choppy guitar playing.
There is a rich legacy of great song writing in country music (as well as great guitar playing).
I think there is a bit of disconnect between guitar oriented country and what is actually popular ( be it from Nashville or elsewhere). It's like judging all rock music by Yngwie Malmsteen and Racer X albums.
For me I prefer an even smaller listening pool of people like Jim Campilongo and Greg Koch and Jerry Donahue who use a lot of classic country technique ( hybrid and chicken picking, faux steel bends,etc) but rarely play straight country.
I was going to say I can't really relate to a lot of country music, although I'm not similarly impeded with songs from Chicago in the 1950s or Jamaica in the 1970s so why I draw the line at white people in the present I'm not sure.
