I'm in my eighties and I remember this melody as a child. After all these years I came across your The Ash Grove lesson and watched your lesson carefully. I'm learning the mandolin and impressed by your learning method, particularly the explanations and examples. Thank you for this song and breaking it down to into easy to follow sections. Cheers Alan Lee
Gret teacher, already learnt so mucj in first 30 mins. Im fairly experienced gultarist (15 years) and bliegrass has alwasy eluded me. I am still fidin the pace and timing an issue. Does anyone else find this going from other genres onto BG?
The 5th string certainly is involved 😊. When required for the melody, a little in part A, more in part B. It’s the nature of the single-string and melodic techniques.
Hello good sir, I commented on lesson 1, and am working Thru lesson 2. Each day I practice I get a bit smoother and make fine tune adjustments. I’m starting to get the hang of this. My 2 year old nephew in NYC loves the progress, which I know will take patience and practice (lots of it.) Thanks for all you are doing, good sir! From So. California , USA
Love this version and style. So nice to hear music being played slow and easy on a banjo that's not played Scruggs bluegrass style going a hundred miles an hour.
I have been playing classic 60s 70s R&R, blues,.country and some jazz for 60 years. I recently retired to pretty much bluegrass heaven. I figured it is time to get with the program. Thank you for the video, I have to admit Clarence White is my favorite guitarist and I did get to see him three times with the Byrds. I went to a lot of concerts with big name guitar players and I do believe he was the best I ever saw. He would have been a real monster, he was stretching out from his bluegrass roots and who knows what he might have become? I will practice and listen to some more bluegrass. When it is good, it kicks butt. I never got to play any. My dexterity is there, no problem. Subscription added, thumbs up.
@@pickinlessons I am finishing up a recording of a Chicago Style blues tune and the third example, to my surprise, worked just as well for a blues rift in the key of E. Click my avatar for some originals if interested.
Y'know... over here in America, when watching flatpicking videos normally we hear a familiar hillbilly accent... like from Kentucky or Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, or even Southern Missouri. Then there's fellers from Italy that pop up... Beppe Gambetta and Roberto Dalla Vecchia who sho' can pick! And listening to their Italian accents, don't sound like Knoxville, if you git my drift... and then I found another person from ENGLAND, a lady named Charlotte who made my jaw drop, she got Bryan Sutton's attention, invited her over to the USA to help instruct guitar... and this here video... what's that Australia? Bluegrass RULES!!
