Bluegrass?

I've had a new appreciation for bluegrass lately. Seems difficult as typically lots of FAST runs.

Check this video out. I want to learn this! How about you? Perhaps TG will do some bluegrass stuff in the future.

Take care,

Yeah RD, that one is a classic (it must be because I even recognize it and I don't listen to any bluegrass). I can tell you that my slow-paced finger-picking ain't up to all that yet, that's for sure. Maybe someday.

That was a little strange though because it seems the guitar was doing all the parts typically done on a banjo?? Yes?? And of course we couldn't see the accompanyment part (you can hear it).

Thanks for posting.

SHOWOFF!!!... :angry: No just kidding that was amazing! Absolutely spectacular! I'm with ya, R.D.! :woohoo:

What I found most amazing about this performance, was how light of a touch he has. And how he just glides across the strings, graceful as a figure skater. Amazing!! :) :) :) :)

That guy is some kinda crazy amazing guitar player! Wow. If Neil does a lesson of this, that is when Neil will really turn it up to 11!
