This Blue 3rd lesson unlocked the front door to Bluegrass. Before this I could only play G-C-D rhythm and a simple G run. The examples had me up and running in minutes... playing lines over all three chords. Thanks to 50% video speed, I have learned to play most of Solo 2 and I'm having a blast!
Great lesson! I already incorporate some of this, but there's some new stuff for me here. I've watched this 3x in a row while here at work 😊 so I can get to experimenting when I get home. Yes, Strum Machine is awesome!
You can also actually figure this out by ear simply by slowing down bluegrass solos on yt without knowing the name of one single note. That's how I learned it. Memorize the melody, then experiment.
@@dieselman7453 Strum Machine is an app that lets you play along with prerecorded bluegrass tunes. Our band uses it to practice in between practices. You can arrange the tunes to suit your needs.
Great lesson! Never thought of using a blue third... Seems obvious given other blue notes, but the thought of "mixing" minor and major in that regard just didn't occur.
