    I’m a 50 year old blues/rock player who has a 15 year old son that is on the cusp of being a monster flat picker/rhythm player(didn’t see that coming lol).I have flat out struggled trying to play with him.I struggle with the feel more than anything.I know I need to basically start from scratch “to be able to help him advance.This is exactly what I needed.Thank you

      You're absolutely correct...I was the same to a degree, after years of rock playing, bluegrass flatpicking certainly does require a different approach and a solid knowledge in the open position...Good luck!!

    I have been playing classic 60s 70s R&R, blues,.country and some jazz for 60 years. I recently retired to pretty much bluegrass heaven. I figured it is time to get with the program. Thank you for the video, I have to admit Clarence White is my favorite guitarist and I did get to see him three times with the Byrds. I went to a lot of concerts with big name guitar players and I do believe he was the best I ever saw. He would have been a real monster, he was stretching out from his bluegrass roots and who knows what he might have become? I will practice and listen to some more bluegrass. When it is good, it kicks butt. I never got to play any. My dexterity is there, no problem. Subscription added, thumbs up.

      Thanks :)
      Resolving licks = played and ends over the one chord - feels complete. Doesn't need to be a whole measure. Passing licks = not resolving. eg. lick plays over the D, but then resolves as you enter the G. You could string together many passing licks, not resolving the phrase for many chord changes down the road. No rules.

    I went though a Gypsy Jazz phase. I sucked at it…but it significantly changed and improved my picking skills. Gypsy Jazz is the same 50 songs written in the 1940s over and over. I love the melodies and tone of bluegrass so I am going to go down this rabbit hole. What is the “Minor Swing” of bluegrass? Meaning, what is the one song everyone works on first? The “Stairway to Heaven” of bluegrass (but without the stigma haha). By the way, Stairway is a great song. Maybe someone can tell me the top 3 beginner tunes to learn? I am an intermediate player. I can play ‘Windy and Warm’ and have some chops (usually in the pentatonic realm where us untalented people go to die haha). Thanks. I like Billy Strings and he’s what got me into this. Stephan Wembrel got me into Gypsy Jazz. A tune like ‘Dust in a Baggie’ would be my goal.

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice work! Gypsy Jazz is awesome, you'll love bluegrass! You could look at the 'popular' session fiddle tunes first. Tunes like: Salt Creek, Red Haired Boy, Soldier's Joy, Arkansas Traveler, Black Mountain Rag, Big Sciota, Billy In The Low Ground, Cherokee Shuffle, Goldrush, John Hardy, Whiskey Before Breakfast...That'll get you started and pretty much every bluegrass picker you meet will know these standards.

      The picking follows the rhythmic structure. The technique is alternate picking. There are other approaches, but the majority of pickers in this style would be approaching in this way. It’s a very solid and consistent technique.

    So I'm back again after a year, I see. Time flies. Well, I had the same question this year, but looking in the comments/answers I see we've been through this. HOWEVER, on closer examination I see you use both the 2 and 3 to play the 4th fret, but your explanation says you favor the 3 rather than bringing the 2 over. I guess it's the small changes that enable the speed required to make bluegrass sound proper

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Fingering is all about context. Where you come from, but more importantly, what you need to play next. As long as it's efficient, and not clunky. Can be a personal choice, but IMO there are always 'better' options. BUT...Django did only use 2 fingers, so work with what you can!!

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Learn to read tab for a start. Don’t need notation, but understanding rhythm would certainly help. Although, nothing wrong with learning by ear either - depends on you really. Using both strategies would be beneficial. To start off, learn some tunes, that appeal to you and practice a few scales to help develop technique. Keep it interesting so you stop that guitar from collecting dust!!

    I'm confused by the fingering of the 3rd lick. Starting with the middle on the 3rd fret, then the Index on 3rd fret followed by the ring on the 4th fret. But the tab shows a 3-4 slide! Why wouldn't the index slide from 3 to 4? Or, if not the index slide, why wouldn't the middle come over to play the 4? Seems strange to see the ring right after the index with the middle stuck in between.BTW: Seems all the bluegrass licks I've studied never address the fingering. Thanks if you could explain the reasoning

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      G'day Doug,
      Great question! Fingering can often be a personal choice and there is usually more than one way of going about. Here is my approach & logic - we're playing in position 2, finger 2 starts out on string 1-fret 3 (G). We need to make use of finger 1 on string 3-fret 3 (Bb) to smoothly transition. This gives you 2 options for the hammer-on which comes next on to fret 4-string 3 (B) - your suggestion is fine with finger 2, my personal choice is finger 3, as this maintains the 2nd position fingering, and because we've just made use of the 2nd finger (on the first string) I personally feel it is easier to hammer on to the 3rd finger.
      Fingering choice is usually dictated by where you come from and what you are playing next. If the hammer-on was on it's own, your suggestion would be spot on. But we're in the middle of a series of notes, so not so straight forward. IMO :)
      Hope that helps shine some light on the subject.
      Cheers, Heath.
      Oh, and if you did alter the lick using a slide instead of a hammer-on, of course you would use the 1st finger :) But, considering we're about to move to the 2nd fret-4th string (E) and playing a fast tempo, a slide would only make it harder to play.

    • @douglesw
      @douglesw 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@pickinlessons I think I don't know the fret assignments for position 2. By your explanation I am guessing 1 2 3 4 fingers are should line up with 2 3 4 5 frets on the high E? If that's the case then I can see where finger 3 works on the 4th fret. Possibly you can direct me to a discussion of positions? Thanks

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are correct. 1st finger begins at the position you're in, and each finger takes a fret from there. Everything is open to variation, but that should be your guide.

      To achieve the speed, clarity and tone - unlikely. You could certainly use the ideas differently and approach it with you fingers :)

      It would be very difficult, but not impossible.

    Why the picking pattern? Its like youre playing triplets instead of swung 8th notes

    • @pickinlessons
      @pickinlessons  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No triplets in the rhythm, but lots of syncopation. Picking direction is always following the down/up beat pattern. For example, in the 4th preparation lick, the 3 up pick strokes all fall on the off beat.

      I have a feeling that when you say "country" you're probably thinking of bad rock with an accent.
