Developing Your Bluegrass Groove: Rhythm and Strumming | Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar Mastercourse 

A sample of my first full-length course: Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar Mastercourse! This course has been a year in the making and I wanted to make it as comprehensive as possible, covering everything from the fundamentals of bluegrass rhythm guitar to more advanced concepts. This course begins with the basics: chord shapes and voicings, strumming and syncopation. Then, leads into more advanced rhythm concepts like fretboard splitting, alternating bass and dynamics. We'll also cover passing runs and walk ups as well as how to think about playing fast in a live setting.
