Bluegrass is one of the most popular styles of music to play on the acoustic guitar. It might seem like it’s hard to get into, but in reality, bluegrass guitar uses some very basic concepts that any beginner guitar player can grasp. In this lesson, Nate Savage will show you how to get started playing bluegrass songs on the guitar.
The first important thing you need to know is the open chords in the key of G major. The vast majority of bluegrass songs are played using chords from the key of G major. The most important ones are G major, C major, D major, E minor, and A minor (sometimes A major).
The second thing you need to know is how to use a capo. Capos are an amazing tool for bluegrass guitarists because they allow you to play the chords you already know in any key. Need to play in the key of C major? Put the capo at the 5th fret and play the chords from the key of G major. It’s that easy.
That’s all you really need to know to get started playing bluegrass songs on the guitar! If you need extra help with basic techniques like changing chords and playing clean chords, be sure to check out our other helpful guitar lessons!

Playing guitar for 16 years and this is the first time a capo was explained to me in a way that made sense. I’m gonna use this all the time now

proud to say I learned the same thing about the capo but from the finest bluegrass guitarist I know - the Barber in Drexel, NC. I love that old man. Y’all come by some time! And bring your capo! 👍🏼

Nice trick; now, the flat-picking part.

@rogerletsom2127 Год назад

I really learned alot from just this one lesson! My favorite Bluegrass song is "Fox On The Run". Thanks!

@mellowgeekstudio 4 года назад

I have practically zero knowledge of the bluegrass genre but the movie "The Broken Circle Brrakdown" made me fascinated by it, so it would amazing to learn how to play "Will the Circle be Unbroken?". Looking forward to the next lessons!

where is the rest of this series? that was one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen. Nice job, man.

@robertbussa2606 Год назад

I’m just starting out to learn guitar late in life and I wondered how to use a capo. Thank you so much for this lesson. I really appreciate it.

@mountainmover777 Год назад

I gave up on guitar in the past because of my difficulty with B. That and barred chords in general.. I'm glad I looked back into trying to find a way around that handicap. Thank you!

@AnneS508 3 года назад

Thank you so much for explaining a capo and how it works. I always wondered. I had a guitar teacher years ago who thought it was cheating and would never tell me about it. Since I will only ever be a beginning guitarist, I am quite happy for things that simplify the playing and give me more pleasure out of the guitar.

@mjs2016 3 года назад

Not to nitpick your comment, but to be confident in that you'll "only ever be a beginner" is really limiting yourself. You'll never be good if you don't first believe you can be.

@patrickd8820 2 года назад

As a guitar teacher, your old teacher frustrates me 😤

@robertshorthill6836 11 месяцев назад

A capo is not a cheating device. It is a useful tool for being able to use open strings in any given key. Open strings give sustain which is near impossible with fretted strings. Try playing in Bb without a capo. Use a capo at 3rd fret and play in key of G major. You will see the benefit of a capo.

Great lesson in general. Short but helpful music theory tips too for those who haven’t looked at it like this before.

Hi, Thank you for explaining a capo and how it works . So direct och clearly You are not like others that talk 89% of the video and teach the rest. We have a proverb "Mycket snack och lite verkstad" I´m a 50 years beginner since a couple months ago and I have been dreaming to learn how to play little bluegrass. In Sweden we do not have much possibility to get lessons about this genre. I `m looking for your next lessons.

Just found you. Have played around with guitar for 50 years. I want to play bluegrass correctly! I struggle with putting the capo in the right key so the capo is not in the key we’re playing but the root note is correct? I need to learn what every fret in standing tuning is with capo

Are most bluegrass songs played in key of g-c-a? Using capo is easy. What about d? And you also mentioned capo 3. What is that?

@JSDJerry 3 года назад

Just watched your video ''how to use a capo' before this one. I now know i should find and practice G shape 145 chords with capo in various keys. Do I repeat this with C shape chords, then E shape, etc.? Is the rule, when the original key is in, say G, use G shape capo chords; if original is in E, use E shape chords?

When I play guitar on a bluegrass song, people will say I’m not playing bluegrass style. Is it a strum, picking or a run, like in your intro?

@kenz2756 4 года назад

It's a mix between flatpicking and strumming, but you don't strum the whole chord, just a portion of the strings.

@tarrasque419 4 года назад

If you're playing bluegrass rhythm guitar its gotta be percussive type strumming, generally you're going to strum on every beat, you really have to count and be rock solid.. you're not playing the full chord on every beat but you're gonna have to learn some finesse with your right hand (ie upstrokes/downstrokes, muting, etc).. that will really improve your bluegrass playing..
