Bluegrass no.1

I wrote the first part to this song in 1989. Added the B part somewhere in 1998.
It is a fingerpicking tune, in the Doc Watson style. The B part has some Merle Travis licsk though, with muted bass. The A part has a none muted bass.

@forbebe Thanks forbebe. I am glad you liked it or I presume you did :)

Thanx fingrpckr. It means a lot coming from someone with your playing skills. You are right about the name. Can you hear the Doc Watson inspiration?

Hey, yeah, i see your rithm is much better then mine. Practice will teach me. But pleasure in playing will take me there. Play on.

[fridrikur]

Well said. That's the spirit! I'm sure you will get there. You are gifted. Rythm is hard work.

[forbebe]

@fridrikur for sure!!

i agree. the tempo is a bit too quick for him in some parts, you can hear where he loses a note or two.

less is more, sometimes.

thats crazy! brings me back to my days on the bayou... ah... we has some good eats the night granny killed that gator with her banjo... (only kidding)... Really cool though

Take down the tempo just a bit. This would allow for full emphasision of important bits (notes, dynamics, etc.) in the song. It would make it a much more solid piece. Very fun though. Seeing how fast you can go is fun!
