In early 2013, the always entertaining David Grier stopped by the Fretboard Journal offices to perform a few tunes. Along with some jokes, most of which we couldn't air, he played this great rendition of "Beaumont Rag."
Grier has played a variety of guitars over the years. In this clip, he's playing a dreadnought built by Dake Traphagen in Bellingham, Washington.
After performing the tune, he slows down his playing a bit and offers a tip or two for improving your own playing. Hope you enjoy!
Grier was the cover story of the Fretboard Journal #16, still available via our website.
Go to the FJ's website - fretboardjournal.com - to see even more exclusive interviews, podcasts, performance videos and more.

@axeman2638 2 месяца назад
there's a lot of crossover, many bluegrass musicians also play jazz. I find improvising in a bluegrass style more challenging than playing jazz myself, you have less options and have to make a good melody, in jazz you can get away with a lot you can't in bluegrass.

@Taylor Evans whoa 😳. I would never have gathered that from Mr Sutton. Now Chris Thile is arrogant both personally and professionally. Met him once and he was an asshole, kind of how I expected him to be. David Grier seems like the type that would engage in a meaningful conversation and never look at his phone
@JPM-NM
@JPM-NM 3 года назад
@@Bluelightcheaphotel I've heard that Grier is very generous and kind to his fans. I have also heard that in most other settings he's not that way. I know a guy who ran sound for a show that David was playing on and said he'd never work with Grier again. Speaking of Chris Thile, I had a pleasant interaction with him after a show, but I've heard stories about him as well. His Punch Brothers bandmate Chris Eldridge, however, is one of the nicest and most down to earth people I've ever met. I can't and won't tell the whole story (it's long), but in short he went far out of his way to reach out to me while PB were on tour overseas when I was going through a rough time. I'd only met him once, years before. I'll never forget that as long as I live.

He was an instructor at the first Steve Kaufman Flatpicking Guitar Camp in 1996 which I attended. He was unprepared to teach and pretty obnoxious all around, which I attribute entirely to a kind of shyness and maybe being out of his element a little bit. I've really enjoyed how he he's mellowed and gotten into the social aspect of things since then. Of course, his playing has always been amazing. His inventiveness sets him apart.

I have listened to so many versions of this tune and 95% of them are speed picking throwing down as many notes as they can and fairly similar, but Mr. Grier's version is a very creative interpretation. I also enjoy listening to his version of Blackberry Blossom. Keep doing what the other 95% are not.

@bobthabuilda1525
@bobthabuilda1525 9 лет назад
Billy Bradshaw In settings like this, the most important thing is individual expression, not binding yourself to the melody. Besides, the melody is there. It is outright stated in many places and touched on it others. The foremost thing, however, is that the artist expresses how HE hears the song. In my opinion, this is how it should be, at least with artists of this caliber.
