Wow. That has to be one of my favourite versions of that tune. A lot of originality and love the rhythm playing as much as the picking. Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Pickin and rhythm playing are awesome man! Volume is a little softer than the others which makes it a little tricky to play along with compared to your others. But still great job!!
@@alexgraf8417 you should try and just make some easy listening music I love listening t this stuff. Seems the angle is lessons which is cool but I could just listen to this all day while I’m doordashing man love it. Especially with vocals and a supporting part! Love to hear it
That harmonization (or whatever you’d call it) you do around 1:58 was so cool. Thanks for your creativity ! Mind sharing your thought process on that ?
Hey Parker! Thanks! That was just a descending waking bass run that is pretty much a stick phrase for me and I like to use when going from a g shape to a d shape. It’s ripped off of tony rice. There’s a bunch of good examples of him playing that but the best video perhaps is the bluegrass album band playing at IBMA (black and white video). It’s on RU-vid. They play big spike hammer and a few times going into the chorus Tony does this run and really embellishes it. It’s super fun. But yeah just like the flat 7th waking down chromatically to the 5 with a hammer embellishment. Cheers man!
After reading your response I think my timestamp was slightly incorrect! I meant the chords you play at about 2:01, you seem to be playing G F C F G em. That’s what I was curious about! Why you chose those chord, why you chose some different locations on the neck to play them, etc. I really like the sound of that Em or the A7 sound at the end.m of that progression (not sure if those were the exact chords but they sounded like them!) Thanks for the response in the walking baseline down to 5th, though!
@@parkerhegstrom2265 ahhh THAT! Those are just inversions/voicings of the b section of the tune (G C A G) with a couple of chord substitutions that I borrowed from the jazz world and think they they create just enough dissonance to not cause a riot in bluegrass haha.
Is there a name for said substitutions ? Or general-ish rule from jazz? I’m looking for something to google so I can apply to other tunes. Love the sound it creates
