Nothing like getting a lesson from one of the absolute best flatpickers! I hate that I missed Bryan and Billy Strings at the Ryman auditorium, I heard it was an awesome show.
If you’ve considered taking Bryan’s ArtistWorks course, pull the trigger! In addition to being a killer player and exceptional teacher, he also places an emphasis on HOW to learn. These lessons apply to anything you want to learn: juggling, painting, sewing…anything. His feedback to other students through the video exchange (VE) process is so valuable. Regardless of your level of playing, his instruction and commitment to musicianship is exemplary.
Do you learn scales within the course and their exact notes within the scale ? I have some music theory books I’m going through but I want to be able to get my hands on the guitar and play more. At the moment, the music theory book is keeping me in the book and learning to identifying the notes in the staff and where they would be on the neck according to the staff.
@@101airborne07 , yes, Bryan covers the scales used in traditional bluegrass tunes and songs, mostly in the open or first positions. The instructional materials included printable pdf's of each tune with both tablature showing which fret on which string as well as traditional notation showing the notes on a staff. Between these two, I think this addresses your question. While the pdf will show the note on a staff and the fret to be played, it does not tell you if a particular note is the third or flatted fifth of that particular key. Since most of this type music is played in open or capo'd positions, all of the notes all over the neck aren't really emphasized (although I'm not to the Advanced lessons yet). I took Guthrie Trapp's Electric Country course as well, and he definitely emphasizes learning all the notes and chord shapes all over the neck. Hope this helps.
@@MrWhitmire Sure does! I looked over the prices of the course the other night and was wondering about the detail of such lessons. You gave me a pretty good idea ! Around here it might be hard for me to find somebody who would teach me one on one so this would be a good substitute I think.
@@101airborne07 I'm on a very limited "play" budget, and I debated for months before trying a one-month subscription to Guthrie Trapp's course last year. Within a couple days, I realized the year long program was an incredible bargain and subscribed during the first week of my one-month trial. ArtistWorks added the one-year subscription on to the end of my initial plan and opened all of the extra features immediately. What has made both courses I've subscribed to so valuable is the instructor's feedback to the student-submitted videos. To me, this is far better than in-person instruction because I can pause, rewind or skip as desired. I have had more fun in the past two years with my guitars than in the preceding 30 years of noodling around trying to learn on my own. Be sure to get on the ArtistWorks email list if you're not already. They offer discount offers pretty frequently.
It's boom-chick not boom-chuck... The chuck is slightly muted compared to the clearer tonal qualities of the chick... Just kidding ha! You are amazing!
What a beautiful guitar
Yeah not much beats an old D18 . That dry bass is wonderful
Norman Blake and Tony Rice got a whole dang song about it
Of all master flat pickers, of which he is a Titan giant ect .. he is perhaps the best down to earth clear spoken teacher. Great video..

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents. Appreciate all your work you share with us. Mucho Gracias
Very good music song. Playing guitar 🎸. 👍
Aside from Bluegrass, this lesson would definitely relate to traditional country music also.

Ha, was waiting for that one comment where somebody tried to school Brian Sutton, well played.
Ha!
