Some bluegrass stuff.

Here is the A scale:
___________________________________
___________________________________
______________________________1__2_
_____________________0__2__4_______
___________0__2__4_________________
__0__2__4__________________________

I hope this is a helpful lesson :) I enjoy getting feedback so if you feel like it, leave a comment.

I tried to include both hands in this tutorial because several people asked me to for the last lesson (the G runs).

  • How long have you been playing?

  • I've been playing bluegrass on guitar since I was about 17. Before that (maybe starting at 15?) I was playing bass.

  • Thanks so much, so helpful.

    I play a lot by myself, and my playing sounds so... uh... unfull. Your teaching has helped me play by myself. It makes my solo playing sound so much more... full.

    Thanks!

  • You're very welcome!

  • Hi, I really enjoyed watching your video. It was very imformative. I am having trouble chording A with just one finger (I keep muting the bottom string). Do you have any tips on how to avoid that? Thanks and keep up the good work.

  • You know, I've done some more thinking about this, and I think that making all of the strings play clearly when you're messing around with those bottom strings is not important - if some of the fretted notes of the A chord with one finger come out a little dampened, it's ok. It can even add to the effect.

  • Thank you for these vids and also thank you so much for your testimony and using your videos to encourage people to read their Bibles, beginning with John. :)

  • great stuff. thank you.

  • you make that look soooo easy Thank you for your time to teach us

  • you make that look soooo easy

  • I walk the line rip ????? JRC

  • Applause !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job

  • Thank you for sharing all your talent with so many. It is awesome to be able to learn from someone with so much zeal in their playing. I love your ending with the scripture on it.

    I am 59 and am trying to get into it, and it is ones like yourself that bring that confidence to one to learn how to play.

    God Bless
