In this lesson, I wanted to cover an intro from one of my original tunes that uses "Dave" chords to create an interesting original bluegrass tune. This section includes some crosspicking and some rhythm guitar elements.

I was a huge Dave matthews fan in high school and college. Learned all his songs. Then fell in love with bluegrass and have been playing that since. Check out Dave matthews slap vid on KZbin, there’s a segment of Dave picking whiskey before breakfast

[@BrandonJohnsonGuitar]

I just looked up that slap vid. Hilarious!

It’s a kind of floating! Beautiful!

[@abates226]

It’s called cross-picking. It’s old.

[@matteoanceschi3098]

@@abates226 yes, it’s a crosspicking lick in A.
