  Quite simple rhythm. I'm not big on country, but this 
  does seem to fit with "Singing The Blues".

DefGroove CountrySwing     Marty Robbins might like this.

// Here we could use a bass track since we are only playing
// single notes in the sustain ... but, using chords gives
// the advantage of VOICING ... which avoids some awkward jumps.
// The sequence toggles between root and 5 ONLY.
