  • Thanks for the tips guys.

    I have to chime in and defend Brian - he isn't a bluegrass guitar player, I had given him the music, explained a little of "boom-chuck" to him and we just started taping. Plus, if you notice, he's playing a jumbo Gibson with the sound hole pointed a little more squarely at the camera than mine was... Just an FYI in defense of my friend. :)

  • Both of you were great, rhythm was a bit overbearing, but that's a gibson jumbo, they are LOUD, so he can't really help it.

  • hey well done!

  • You guys are great! I just learned Cherokee Shuffle off Steve Kaufman's 4 Hr Workout, but his Bill Cheatham is in A and the band I'm in plays it in G!  I have the A part up to the same speed as you, but the B part is still slower. I re-did the fingering for the B part slightly. All the same notes are played in different positions except for the high A (5 on the 6th string) in the second part. Thanks Again!

  • Good version. It even made you toe tap in your tube socks!

  • I'm sure he meant well, but regardless of what instrument he's playing, he IS in control of how much--if any--sound comes from it. The bass note and a slight 'chuck' is all that's needed for accompaniment.

    Still an excellent job for a beginner.

  • Yes, maybe, but most likely he's just drowning him out, assuming the mic is on the camera--like our eyes are on the front and our ears are on the side of the head. Learning to listen is more important than anything.

  • Maybe a little unfair as the mic position can make a big difference and he isnt playing hard

  • cool tune, i gotta learn it. also agree with KC7YS

    rythmm guitar too overbeating very good.auggie doggie

  • Accompanyist--you're not listening, because you're completely drowning out the lead player.

    Nice tune.
