Reba taught herself to play the guitar as the reports say.
Normally, in the car, they drive home from the rodeo shows of the father, Reba, and his siblings learned songs and harmonies from their mother. They eventually formed a vocal group called “Singing McEntires”, which included Riba’s brother, Pake, and younger sister, Susie. However, his older sister, Alice, was not part of the group. Reba McEntire played guitar in the band and wrote all the songs. The group performed at rodeos and recorded the song “The Ballad of John McEntire” as a band. It was later released on the independent label Patron, the song was recorded to have sold over a thousand copies.
