How To Master Bluegrass Guitar In One Minute 

I don't think so. The percentage of people that could tell is not very large.

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer but the minority that can is a vocal minority 😅

Me. 😂

It's an easy genre to learn and start playing in a jam situation in very little time if you put in a bit of practice (learn the boom-chuck and the keys of G, C and D and how a capo works). But to get good, it's going to be a journey. Marcel is great resource though. Countless hours of videos with some really great advice and techniques worth learning

Absolutely!

one of the most fun ways to learn!

I too am paralyzed in fear when I listen to Tony Rice

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer 😂 a very relatable experience

Yes once you watch Tony and listen, you know there is no way you will ever reach this level. If there was there would be millions sounding just like Tony. Those long fingers of his certainly helped.

I sure would be. He has the guitar that’s perfect for him

The minor 3rd of most chords in bluegrass are often used as passing tones into the major 3rd. I’ve found it’s not super helpful to think of bluegrass tunes as anything to do with a major or minor scale of any kind. Instead, I like to think of it as ‘peppering’ the chords being played with pepper and whatever other spice you think fits the feel. Most of these tunes kind of occupy a ambiguous space that isn’t strictly major or minor, but that being said, most of the chord progressions imply a major tonality when all is said and done. At the end of the day, that’s why bluegrass is its own genre, imo-it’s oftentimes a song that presents at foundation a major tonality but, with tons of ‘spice’ that makes it ambiguous and continuously changing in feel to better accompany lyrics or feel. The ‘spice’ is often used in passing tones but, it’s the inflection and intent which makes them so important and so definitively ‘bluegrass.’ At the end of the day, try not thinking of a song ‘needing a major or minor pentatonic scale’ and start thinking in the direction of, what kind of ‘spice’ does this particular chord want, that will make it unique, and create a feel that will make this song sound like something different and have its own ‘flavor’ and be distinguished if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense.👍

You can order yours from China on a number of nefarious websites! 10/10 highly recommend.

Nice bloke, but I cannot watch him for long because he says 'ah' or 'uh' or some such at the end of each word. grr
