That was nice that you put in the rhythm track. I'd like to see more of that. Also it would make a good video ( or video series) to focus on Tony and Wyatt's chord inversions in the rhythm of various songs . Great job Marcel 👍
Superb, as usual, comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience, your many fans will love this one ! Really enjoy the rhythm inset to demonstrate the chords. I need the help and encouragement you provide to venture into the jazz chords and arrangements. The FG 300 brought back memories of learning to play with a friend who owned that guitar from the early 70's. All the best good man, hope life back east is treating you and yours well !!
Great video. Love the way that you approach these lessons. Would love to see one on Shenandoah. Also, welcome to Raleigh. Hopefully I’ll see you around at some jam sessions. Keep up the great work!
It sounds to me like he plays the opening line of the melody on lower strings. It doesn’t sound like he hits an unwound string until much later in the line.
Song suggestion how about sunny side of the mountain by Rowan and rice: I think is one of the greatest guitar kickoffs of a bluegrass song maybe ever although I know there are many great ones!!
Marcel, I have noticed that your transcription uses a lot of open position chords. The Mel Bay Great Guitarists of America trans by Don Bowden is almost all closed position. I am still comparing, but I think I am correct.
Hey Sam, in the recording it does sound like the vamp is closed chords. I'm always trying to ride that line between accessibility and direct transcription. This seemed a little easier under the fingers. In the melody to the B part, I think I used open strings where Tony does. My only real concern was the brief E major arpeggio at the B part repeat. That can be played with open strings but I like it this way. I'll have to check out the other transcription you mentioned!
Lessons With Marcel Yours sounds the best Marcel! Your tutorial should be required viewing for all aspiring pickers. Good stuff! I can’t say enough good job.
Old Debate Tony Rice & David Grisman started in the 1970's. Bluegrass and Jazz follow many of the same principles. Grisman & Rice's deep exploration of Jazz like tunes with bluegrass instruments have forever influenced and changed the world of bluegrass. Is it bluegrass? Probably not. But, bluegrass has been so influenced by these tunes that the more you study bluegrass the more you will learn to love these jazzier tunes too.

Can you show more dobro once and awhile? Your friend was awesome. Can he play this with you?
Dude, if you ever cross the mountain and come through Erwin TN we should pick!!!
I'll be in Bristol for Rhythm and Roots! That's like 30 minutes out of your neck of the woods.
Sick Yamaha brother

That is a super cool kick off actually. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey marcel where do you have the rest of the song? thank you
Excellent man. Buy that Yamaha!
I know you're going to buy it. Don't even pretend like you're not.

Great lesson but calling it bluegrass is a bit of a stretch don't you think ?
I think you'll have to take that up with legions of Tony Rice fans.
