Talk:Guitar/Country and Western

Correction needed
Jimmy Rogers' home territory was Mississippi, West Tennesee and Alabama, which should be included with central Tennesee. The Delmore Brothers of North Alabama are omitted along with others absolutely critical to the distinction of "country" music from "hillbilly" music in the 1930's. "Martin" guitars are credited as most popular choices, however, records show Gibson outsold Martin, including the favorite choice of flattops for rural/mountain/country pickers, by an order of magnitude. Given their huge price premium, and scarcity and low production, Martin guitars were generally preferred by parlor musicians prior to the 1930's, and out of reach for most rural/mountain/country pickers' modest incomes.

 * Thanks for the information. I'm not a US resident and my knowledge of this genre is limited. I started the chapter in the hope that someone else would come in and rewrite it. I'll correct the information and investigate the sub-genres and artists that you mentioned. Please feel free to add anything you wish to this chapter. I think it would be a better chapter if someone with a deeper knowledge of the genre wrote the history and artists biographical section.
