Chord Progression:



G major is the perfect key for country guitar - as this scale contains all the open strings. Since a lot of the country sound comes from the use of open strings, I suggest you start learning some of the G scale boxes. 



Note: There really is no need to learn all the boxes just for the sake of it. Instead, try pick just one and see if you can come up with some licks/improvisation of your own.
