Country music: Shotened to counry, a type of 20th century popular music based on white folk music of the southeastern US (dictionary.com). Maybelle Carter is a women country artist born in 1909 and died in 1978. A technique this guitarist used was a technique her family invented called The Carter Lick. This technique was a special picking melody for bass strings

Maybell Carter grew up in Southwestern Viriginia and later lived to a town in Tennesse near Nashville. Music was a big form of entertainment to her family and the families around her. By the age of twelve she could sing, play the auto harp, banjo, and guitar. Maybelle Carter Performed in a group called The Carter Family by the age of sixteen. This was a group involving all her her family. They performed country and folk music to the people around them. Music was a part of their lives.

Two popular songs written by mother maybelle would be Wildwood Flower and the Queen of Autoharp. Maybelle wasnt influenced by any famous musician but was inspired by her family. All of her family was into music and she performed with them. She was also influenced by folk and country music which is because she grew up in the country where that kind of music was popular and was a big form of entertainment.

My guitarist has influenced all female country, folk artists. This is because most country artisits are male but Maybelle has shown that women can create country music just as well. She changed the music world by encouaging female country artists to do what they love.

The most interesting fact I learned from this research project is that Maybelle played in a band with her famly. That shows how impotant her family was to her and how they were such a big part of her life; they are the reason she became the famous artist that she is today. The wide varity of insruments Maybelle played and the amount of musical talent she has, as I said earlier, she did not only play guitar, but also the auro harp, banjo, and is a very talented singer. I find that very intersesting. Mother Maybelle will always be remembered for her amazing talent in the country/folk music world and her incredible life.
