    WOW!…that is an impressive presentation! As a teacher and educator on different subjects than music, I’m blown away at how well you organized and presented the information. As a guitar player who dabbles in Bluegrass, I realize I knew NOTHING about it! I started attending Bluegrass jams because they were available in the small town I lived in….but I was unaware of the true history or progression of the genre. This should be “required viewing” for all players! Thank you for putting it together.

    The names dropped in this discussion feel appropriate to me. My musical roots are in melodic death metal and such, but I've always kept tabs on what's going on in bluegrass and folk music on the side, and the two worlds have been colliding a lot in the last decade or so. There's a band called Wilderun that incorporates Jerry Douglas-esque dobro melodies and I've noticed Billy Strings using arpeggio techniques that are specific to the metal repertoire. Banjo has been featured on tracks like Redneck Vikings from Hell by Aether Realm and Stone Cold Metal by Ensiferum. It's a weird time to live in between these worlds.

  • @Toteke

    Dude, as someone who's been learning banjo for a couple years but didn't grow up with bluegrass, this stuff is a godsend for keeping me in the loop with what other people talk about.

    Hey Marcel, thanks for the history lesson. Nice to connect some dots. I recently went to a Wernick method jam camp, (super fun), and learned of Pete, and Hot Rize. (Red Knuckles is amazing too!). I am overwhelmed by the shear volume of talent, and great music past and present. I've always loved Allison Krause Union Station, and Doc Watson. The participation part is what has drawn me to bluegrass. The singing, and playing both are really fun. I'm ok if the "gatekeepers" turn their backs now and then. The youngsters are defining the future.

    Great video! Impressed with how well you put it together. I think mentioning Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver was one of the most important points - for anyone new to bluegrass wanting to get into more, there's no better band to start with!

  • @fiddleman22

  • @aburtch
    @aburtch ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a long-time bluegrass head I have to say this video is amazing! Such a good job of highlighting the main sub-genres and influential artists. And you saved yourself at the end by finally mentioning Hot Rize. 😂
    The key phrase in the entire video is at 5:44 - "Bluegrass musicians who were more open to change thrived." Back in the '90's I got into a LOT of arguments on the bluegrass-L listserve. So many "traditionalists" were hard-line in that anything that didn't sound like the original traditional Bill Monroe style music wasn't bluegrass. I wasn't having it. Music is not static, it's ever-changing and when people push boundaries that's when music gets interesting.
    Your phrase sums up that ethos perfectly and that's proved to be true in reality with the current popularity of the modern-era fusion bluegrass.

    I appreciate this. I was with you up to around 2000 but then the gaps in my knowledge kicked in. I was aware of some but wasn't clear on where they fit in. I listen to Molly, Billy, Punch Bros, and just picked up the Kitchen Dwellers recent album but need to find Crooked Still and a few others you mentioned. Keep em coming.

  • @sadie376
    @sadie376 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting...
    I've known Flatt & Scruggs 'Rocky Mountain Breakdown' since I was a child (no idea how/why, LOL), but until 'O Brother where are thou', Bluegrass music wasn't really on my radar (here in the UK)... Since then, there has been a steady trickle of Bluegrass, Country & Americana (notably Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) & since I started learning guitar again, that trickle has increased... Obviously, artists like Molly Tuttle & OCMS didn't appear out of nowhere, but it's good to see a bit more of the history of the stuff in-between.

  • @thesouthernidiot1246

  • @timothywryan
    @timothywryan ปีที่แล้ว

    Great summary. I was going to mention Hot Rize, so lol'd when you did. I know you can't get everyone and every seminal album. I would however have thrown in Lester, Earl & Doc's Strictly Instrumental. I think that set the tone for the Tony's and Sam's of the world. But, I agree you can't get everyone and everything. Will definitely share this. You must have put hours into this.
