Clinch Mountain Backstep - Rob Bourassa

[imasaint59]

Thank you for your kind response! The reason I was interested in the lesson on the B part is that I play bluegrass bass and, while I think I am fairly competent, the truth is I never have quite gotten the extra 1/2 beat in the b part as was hoping to find someone that could help me honestly nail it rather than fudge. :-)

@imasaint59 If you are in A, take it from the 3 measures before the whacky part. It would be, A,E, A,E, A,E, (A) E,B, A,E, A,E, E,B, A,E back to the top.

I know it's hard.

I can't seem to find your lesson on Part 2 of clinch mountain backstep. Am I missting something?

[robbourassaguitarist]

@imasaint59 I did the lessons but they crashed, and I lost my banjo so I couldn't redo them.

I will hopefully finish them in a couple of weeks.

@otamardecarvalho Muito obrigado Otamar.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Lessons are coming in a day or two. I was delayed due to moving into a new studio.

I am recording right now.

Dear Mr. Bob Bourassa,

I have a great number of your musics in my Favorites, here in You Tube. Its a great pleasure to hear you. What is the name of your mentioned Guitar? Best regards, Otamar de Carvalho

[robbourassaguitarist]

@otamardecarvalho The guitar is a Zimnicki.

@robbourassaguitarist

Thank you very much. Otamar de Carvalho

[otamardecarvalho]

I didn't see the precise place for making comments. In this circumstances, I make here: Bob Bourassa is an amazing musician, including with the Banjo. But, I prefer to hear him in his old guitar, in which he plays "Maria Elena". It's marvelous. Otamar de Carvalho, Brasília, Brasil

[robbourassaguitarist]

@otamardecarvalho Hola Otamar. Gracias.

Nice job, Rob. I still need to work on this- the timing is really tricky!
