Your Western Swing guitar journey starts here!

Intro to Western Swing Rhythm Guitar gives you the tools to play the classic “sock rhythm” style made famous by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, Asleep at the Wheel, Hot Club of Cowtown, and other legendary western swing bands.

Through clear, step-by-step lessons, you’ll learn the closed-position swing chord shapes and essential inversions that create that unmistakable driving groove — including the walking bass–infused sock patterns that define the genre.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to lock into a solid western swing rhythm, outline chord changes cleanly, and bring authentic Texas-style swagger to any jam, band, or solo performance.
