Yes, I have noticed that Bluegrass Rhythm players put greater emphasis on downward strokes. Especially at a chord change. I don't notice other types of music using as powerful a pattern as Bluegrass. I surmised it must be because the purist don't use amps so they have to really dig in with their pick attack. Is that it?
Super late reply but it's also because there is no drum set/percussion so the rhythm of the chuck from mandolin and guitar strumming sets the tempo and keeps the drive of the music going.
I truly enjoy your lessons and approach to teaching because it's accessible and makes us amateurs sound really good.
Learning the Lester flat G run
Good lesson!
Perfect
