Happy Birthday, George! George Strait was born on May 18, 1952. Our Texas-born King of Country Music graces the stage with his magical voice, handsome looks, blue jeans, pearl snap shirt, and cowboy hat. This living legend will be seventy years old today. Strait’s music is the perfect blend of honky-tonk and western swing bringing all of Country Music together. So let’s celebrate Strait’s birthday together! We found some great tutorials showing how to learn how to play some of George’s top hits. Maybe one day we will be as cool as George!
