What might the cord patterns be in the Top 40
Nashville Country/Country Rock being played today?
Or is their a standard in this type of music?

Autry

Try fooling around with suspended 4ths and added

ninths (not dominant ninth) chords. Both of these

can be found using the B pedal. These variations,

incorporated within the usual major/minor

progressions are pretty typical.

Almost everything in country, pop, rock, blues follows some sort of variation of the I, IV, V basic framework. Modern country and country-rock (which seems to have a different definition now than 25 years ago) don't use anything "typical"; a chord progression doesn't categorize a song. But the songs use the same basic musical forms as any "pop" (and that would include country...as opposed to "jazz" or "Classical") music that's appeared since the 50's.

The rhythm is different than older styles; that, and the overall sound, are the big differences IMO.
