50 of The Best Country Guitar Songs of All Time

50 Best Country Guitar Songs of All TimeMost of my students can’t comprehend. Even my wife, who knows me inside out. The two extremes. One day I will turn on my favorite heavy metal records as loud as I can and indulge in these amazing killer riffs, and the next day I will be just playing and singing country music songs as if my life depends on it. What can I say? I just love music.

There is so much love and heartache put in every song of every band and artist. If you take the time to really, really listen you can feel and understand it. No matter the style.

Besides that, there is so much to gain for your playing from learning all these different types of music. I can’t stress it enough.

So today we’re going to dive into 50 of the best country songs of all time. Wow, did I have fun creating this list and listening and playing all these songs. I hope you will too.

As always, note that the list is in no particular order and incomplete. If your favorite artist is not in this list, then it should be :) The list is here to inspire you, to take that guitar out of the stand and play.

Click the song title to listen to the song on Youtube, click the “chords” link to show you the chords of the song, and next to it, more great songs from your favorite country artist or band.

    I haven’t really listened to much country music in the last 30 years or so, but I did grow up in the 70’s listening to it. I love the classic stuff, and this is an awesome list. In a couple of instances just seeing the song title brings back a memory of what I was doing or where I was when I heard that song as a kid. Thank you!

    Hi Cody,

    Indeed, that’s another magical thing about music. It brings back so much memories.
    You create the memory by listening and in the same way you bring them back many years later.

    Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it.
    Best regards,
    Klaus Crow

    Great List!! Love all the songs on here!! I have to say I’m the same way tho. One day I’ll be jamming to Metallica, Megadeth, or AC/DC and the next I’ll be singing along with Patsy Cline, Hank Sr. or Reba. On my I-Pod it’s not uncommon to hear Sweating Bullets and next hear Tulsa Time.

    There are two songs I would add:
    1) “Rest Your Love on Me” (Conway Twitty) has an epic guitar solo with SUCH sweet tone plus an amazing outro.
    2) “She Can Put Her Shoes Under My Bed Anytime” has an interesting bass/lead intro like nothing else I’ve heard. It’s hard to find something unique.
