Another fascinating and mesmerizing video, Thank You Marcel ! I have commented many times how I love your approach and explanations; you've taken a complex subject, broken it down to explainable and digestible segments, avoided the music theory we may not grasp, yet made a video all your faithful will love forever. All the best and thank you to the person who requested this, I've heard these chords for decades in TR recordings and am extremely grateful for help in understanding what is going on.
First off! Very impressive that you can do all the parts! I've been doing a deep dive on that Scruggs and Rice album trying to get the nuance of Tony's right hand. Thanks so much for this. Big respect from St. John's Newfoundland!
i think the G11 voicing as 3x3211 is the classic TR voicing. Jazz guys might also Call it F/G. Also to my understanding if you dont stack over the 7th (3x0011) its technically an Gadd11. Would love to have seen the G6/9 mentioned as i think its the other classic TR trick. See "Devlin" EM7 B11 :|| DM7 A11 :|| Bb6/9 C6/9 Bb6/9 G11 A11 B11
You're amazing Marcel thanks for expanding the understanding of non-typical bluegrass. I've played the G7 back to the C before but I like the sound of the G11 so much more. I don't know where you learned this but I'm glad we have you to tell us about it.
That type of cadence is influenced by gospel and jazz voicings. 4/5 is a really common gospel turnaround and F/G, Gsus7, and G11 are all similar. From the jazz side, the way he’s voicing G11 uses a lot of quartal harmony (stacked 4ths), which is often used in big band jazz orchestras.
@@austinpoffmusic7294 So true Austin so true. I have a homespun tape of Tony and Happy Traum says to Tony, "Tony can you slow that down" and then says "Tony can you slow that down a little more" to which Tony says something like "I can't slow it down."
Head and shoulders above what would be your peers with regard to your online presentation of information. I am proud to have discovered you and Billy Strings. Together the two of you could and may collaborate in a huge way for the progressive Bluegrass appetite. Leaders in an industry perhaps.
My God Marcel I have been on the fence about connecting with you for skype for quite a while now but this one has me almost brushing the grass with my shoes on your side. I hate my strumming but the boom chuck hiccup push is flipping awesome, I'm sure I'll get a hold of you on your web site soon. Thanks for all you do .
This was my first time watching any of your vids. You are a good teacher - I wish I had that skill. I just write songs and play by ear. I don't know a lot of the technical stuff. I play fingerstyle, but I take some bits I like from bluegrass and twist it into my own thing. I'll have to check more of your stuff out. Oh! Great job on the intro song, too! You have a really nice voice. 🐰💜🇺🇲🎸🎶🤝✌
Tony emulated Clarence White, who emulated Doc Watson. After Clarence was killed by a drunk driver, Tony tracked down and bought Clarence's Martin D-28 with the oversized sound hole and played it on stage for years. Clarence really influenced the modern bluegrass lead acoustic guitar picking. He was a master at cross picking and hybrid picking. He then went on to play lead guitar with the Byrd's and invented the B-bender Telecaster with Gene Parsons, the drummer of the Byrds. check out Clarence and his brothers playing on the Andy Griffith Show when he was about 15 yrs old.
Great playing and instruction. Hope you don't mind if I suggest some more current terminology and such. A chord to transition between two chords is often referred to as a passing chord, though yours might be an exception since it still uses the tonic in the bass. The C chord in a G progression is a IV chord, not a V chord. In popular theory chord names are counted from the tonic chord to the number above; not C, D, E, F, G . You count G, A, B, C; making C the 4th and D the fifth. That's part of what is commonly called the circle of fifths. What you refer to as a hiccup makes perfect sense to everyone, but syncopation is the more common term for that rhythmic device.
Hey Stephen, you're completely correct that in the key of G, C is IV, D is V, and G is I. That being said, what I was trying to hammer home was that when you have a dominant relationship between two chords you can include a seventh chord in-between. An easy way to say that is when two chords have a V and I relationship you can put the passing chord in-between. I know in the key of G that may not be true but I think you get my point. Thank you so much for your comment though, sometimes when I make these videos I try to make them accessible by avoiding some jargon. Some bluegrass musicians being allergic to theory. 😉
Hi Marcel just like to say what an amazing channel I know i will have hrs of practise ahead... can you please tell me what model Martin guitar you have its the one with the cutaway and ebony tuners that you use on the Billy Strings "Dust in a Baggie" upload thanks in advance regards johnnie

Man, would love to see more videos on rhythm guitar ideas for bluegrass! This is awesome!
Jeez - where have I been... the vocals on your opener kick some serious ass. That was unexpected!

@@austinpoffmusic7294 Thanks Austin good to know. I've listened to big band jazz many time but it's a different story when you hear it from Tony Rice
@@millerjeff man everything is different when you hear Tony play it haha. Such an inspiring player.

Oh I’m definitely working up the Seger tune right now.
“Working and practicing…”
Awesome lesson! Got me psyched
Awesome...next level !

I love everything about this video except that you said Tony wasn’t a jazz musician… he might not have been, but he was darn close 😂 thanks Marcel!
Very cool! So simple.
Thanks for another great video. Though I thought for a moment at the start I was in 1996 watching Multiplicity.
If you don't think you're in 1996 every once in awhile then you ain't living.
Good voice man
Good morning Marcel!
I just hit like for the great music!
Good lesson
At 9:20 there is a d9 chord. In another video Tony or Wyatt called that chord an A minor.
Depends on if the root is on the A string or low E string. Root note on A string (x5455x) = D9. Root note on E string (5x455x) = Am6.

It's a Martin DC-Aura custom. Kind of a weird model they don't make anymore. Thanks for watching!

Rythmn month!
Any tabs from Billy's new album yet?
church street blues. tony rice. you’re welcome.
Great 👍 I like the sound of your guitar, what are you using?
He's playing a D-35 in this video, I forget the year.
You and Phillip Bowen should cross promote and do some videos together. Your voices would sound great together.
G11 = G7sus4 😊
Marcel, you are a fellow traveler no?
Did I just hear that there's a Bb in Church Street Blues? Since when!?
are you a "traveling man" ? Whats up with the shirt?
Could someone give me bluegrass guitar players to listen to?
