In Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Portugal it sounds the same as it does in the USA, well California, Florida, and New Jersey as i have not listened to it in any of the other states and it might be different LOL. Also i have been in Holland and Switzerland, but never listened to any country there so i cannot comment LOL

Long live Mclean and McLean putting the c*** in Country

Consider that many of the best "up-and-coming" Country musicians are from AUSTRALIA these days (Keith Urban, for one).

That REALLY makes things corn-fusing to this Georgia-born, Alabama-bred Texas boy...

I must say that once when I visited Greece, I was lucky enough to hear a group playing traditional dance music and what struck me was how every tune seemed to be in a different time signature and the bass lines were distinctive to each dance/tune - so the harmony may not have been complex, but the rhythmic complexity was quite daunting!!

Not sure who you're referring to here, but I actually first heard that quip when Carlene Carter (June's daughter by her first marriage) made it in the 1970s.

[PRUNEFACE]

country is 1 (for dotted quarter note) 3 (8th note) then 5 (half note) etc etc

actually, what I THINK you're trying to say is "fundamentál, quinta"

[DavidMP]

It is "fundamental" and "quinta" Where did you get the accent from?

They are a pair of Canadian Comedians and it comes from their classic album of the same title i believe ( i only ever had it on a cassette that someone done for me, so i do not know its real title) from the 70s. I would love to find it again.

fundamental ends in "L" so it does not receive a written accent (only last syllable emphasis with endings in "N", "S" or a vowel do).

quinta ends in "A" but has the emphasis on the second-last syllable so it does not have a written accent either.

onlyclave,
Foreign country (or folk) music has completely different bass patterns that in USA.
In some countries, there is not even an electric bass in country ensembles, and bass lines are given to some type of bass drums, accordion or other instruments.
