When country guitar master Joe Dalton picks up a six-string; everyone listens. A phenomenon that has followed Joe since he was a snot nosed kid in the 5th grade. Having picked up his first instrument at age 5, Dalton should have been considered a musical prodigy if it weren’t for the plain fact that he was only one of the latest branches to sprout from a very musical family tree with a legacy that spans decades. His great-grandfather conducted the City of Rome Orchestra in Italy; his grandfather was the leader of the New York Philharmonic; his father is solely responsible for bringing mallets into the U.S. Army Band Corps; his brother teaches at the Boston Conservatory…we could go on, but you get the point, right? Musical prowess runs through his veins; it’s the nucleus of his existence.

Must add to country
Recently purchased Mr. Dalton's 50 Country Licks and it was a worthy investment. Its a resolution to tackle country
(something new to me) and I spread it among several courses. He captures a lot of the nuts and bolts essentials from this
style in this course. I'm especially enamored with trying to internalize his pedal steel and banjo roll sections into my playing.
