• The bottom line is that when you break down the
  ins and outs on how to market your music
  effectively, it becomes apparent that as a
  musician, it's important to discipline yourself
  to focus on the elements that are most productive
  for your music business growth. Broken down in
  Wholetones Chroma Review an easy to follow
  process these elements of music marketing and
  music promotion essentially consist of a 3 step
  formula One thing that has always baffled me is
  the fact that whilst country music is one of the
  most popular genres of music in the United
  States, outside of the country it is not as well
  regarded. In fact, if you head on over to the
  United Kingdom you will find that it is an
  incredibly niche genre. Why is this baffling to
  me? Well, it is because country music history can
  be traced back to the Irish, who of course are
  very close to the United Kingdom On this page I
  want to take a little look at the its roots.

• The style has meshed too much nowadays to really
  tell though. It just grew from here. As the music
  style started to spread around the area more and
  more people started to introduce new elements
  into it. This is a constantly evolving form of
  music. What we regarded as country all those
  years ago is nothing close to what is regarded as
  country music right now. That is why it is so
  exciting. We never know where the music is going
  to take us next. Arnold was very much surrounded
  by music for much of his life. In fact, his
  family were touring country musicians. As they
  went from location to location he met a number of
  famous musicians. He also began to develop his
  own style. His own style was something that had
  not really been heard before in country music. It
  was a very jazzy sound with deep base notes The
  style that he developed became firmly rooted in
  Kentucky Style country music.

• Travis who began to develop the idea of Travis
  picking in greater depth. So, what is Travis
  Picking? Well, it is a thumb picking technique.
  It is very hard to explain if you have never
  played the guitar before. Basically, it is a
  style which involves the thumb of a finger
  playing the bass notes on the guitar (the top
  three strings). This creates a deep bass note.
  The other fingers then play the lower strings to
  add a touch of melody. As you can probably guess,
  absolutely no guitar picks are used here.
  Nowadays, many musicians blend Travis picking
  into their music. In fact, I am sure that you
  will find elements of Travis picking in pretty
  much every genre out there. Even 'rock' musicians
  do it from time to time, particularly on their
  slower numbers. This is one of a few 'country
  music' styles which seems to have escaped the
  confines of country music history and worked its
  way into other forms of music. It really does go
  to show the reach that this genre of music
  actually as.

• The reason why they loved the fiddle so much was
  because it had such a dynamic range. One second
  you could be playing the most upbeat music
  possible, and the next second you could be
  Wholetones Chroma creating something that was
  almost mournful. In its history it was not just
  the Irish fiddle that played a roll though. The
  banjo got in there (from West Africa), the
  Mandolin (Italy) and even the Dulcimer (Germany).
  You got a nice blend of instruments. It was sort
  of born out of a clash of cultures. Many people
  do not realize this, but it has a number of its
  roots in African music. It was born out of the
  white and black musicians in the southern areas
  of the country starting to play together. In
  fact, country music history shows us that back
  then Country Music tended to be a great deal more
  'African' influenced than European influenced.
