FOX34 & The Cactus Theater Presents Lubbock's "Guitar Pull" | October 17th, 2025


What is a Guitar Pull?

  • A ‘guitar pull’ is a southern tradition where a small group of musicians sit around and take turns playing songs on a guitar. ​

  • The "guitar pull" is a tradition unique to country music, and it probably originated in a living room or out on a back porch. Typically, several would-be singer songwriters would gather at a friend's house and take turns singing songs they wrote or playing old favorites. ​

  • The late Roger Miller imagined that the term "guitar pull" came from the fact that there was usually only one guitar to be shared, and the singers would have to "pull" the guitar away from one another to take their turn.
