Bryan Sutton Teaches Beaumont Rag

[@stevetomich8210]

I actually love Bryan's teaching style. It's difficult to appreciate how comprehensive it is from this one passage. The entire video is over an hour long and in it Bryan discusses technique, tone, stylistic approach, using melody as motif for soloing, etc. He acknowledges that chops take time, but they're meaningless without feel. He talks about finding your voice (tone) by just playing one note and only speeding up only when you can maintain the same sound at a faster tempo. He's heavily influenced by Dan Crary, but plays nothing like Dan technically or tonally. This really proves Bryan's main point throughout the video: find your voice and develop it gradually. You will appreciate the results regardless of whether it sounds like anyone else.

[@monsterzero1965]

Thank you for that in depth analysis.

[@5519scotty]

great player...he plays the melody not like the authentic melody, but instead goes subconcious like a good player, and lets his improvised melody evoke the listener to hear the authentic melody....thats the mark of an artist..hats off to you

[@SurfGreenStrato]

"here it is one more time" Ohhh.. now I get it.... lol.

[@homespuntapes]

Just remember, you have to learn play something slow, and in time before playing it fast. Stick with it measure by measure and you will get it over time. Thanks for watching these video clips.

[@Ceogr]

@@BF... this lesson in indeed garbage. He just gave some tips and then played the song at full speed.

[@travis8947]

You should release the entire series if you’re going to give us that reminder

[@amateurschallenge]

I learned all the material from the dvd. Great stuff.

[@generalpatzer6893]

Gosh how does he remember all that?? Amazing!

[@ronaldletourneau9074]

All I learned from this is you can play really fast and good.

[@Southernguitar74]

Really cool tune in C. Thanks for sharing. You're a great player!

[@altadena57]

@goopy630 Pretty sure he's playing a Bourgeois, made by Dana Bourgeois in Maine. I think Bryan is pretty much a dedicated Bourgeois player, as he's mentioned on the Bourgeois website. I'm just getting turned on to Bourgeois guitars myself; love the tone.

[@digitalsketchguy]

Tip. Under video, click on settings cogwheel icon & change playback speed to 0.5 or 0.25 if you're really crap. Bryan might sound pretty drunk, but much easier to see what he's doing. End of Tip.

[@spiercevaughn]

I learned this tune from this video 5 or 6 years ago doing exactly that. It helps a lot! I practiced the cross picking on it for several hours a day for a while !

[@douglasdunning6216]

Nothing like the purity of folk music from the southern United States.

[@newmex031]

Bourgeois - made by Dana Bourgeois in Lewiston, Maine

[@inatightspot]

It always surprises me how fluidly he plays 1:08. Amazing.

[@vcp430]

@HDSM25 Bryan tune, "Decision At Glady Fork".

[@OpenGlobeTV]

Marvellous - Thanks

[@guibox3]

Bryan Sutton is the sickest guitar player since Tony Rice. If anybody can't listen to him play Rawhide on Ricky Skagg's 'Bluegrass Rules!' and not want to swear, sell your guitar and join a monastery, you have no clue what an amazing guitar player sounds like.

[@MrLeejan]

Why do yo reach down for the E. When it is first string open?.

[@gabrielbingham605]

Ok what was the opening song though!!?

[@harrylook7810]

wow. awesome. what's the guitar, I wonder?

[@BrianTheVoice]

The tab I find is second fret capo. I can’t find the tab for this version?

[@АндрейАнреевич-р6ь]

I have tabs

[@EzyoMusic]

I was thinking just that!

[@bigmrclean]

@altadena57 Yep....You are right! He's played those for a while now. I'd say he IS Bourgeois lol.

[@スクリャービンに花束を]

0:50

[@Sunburst64]

"Subconcious"? I didn't see that listed in any of my music lessons or books anywhere. Hmm

[@digitalsketchguy]

Did he hint this is a beginners piece? Those bluegrass players sure set the bar real high.

[@SooperKewl]

@ggdshack it looks like it's probably Koa, but i could be wrong.

[@GreatMooglyGoogly]

I'm supposed to LEARN that??

[@adamschmalenberger]

makes it look easy

[@snakestrecher]

2:55 / 4:31

[@shayneb]

Decision at Glady Fork.

[@Teleman01]

The master there...

[@danielpinto6165]

Eres profesional ✋👨‍👨‍👧

[@cremebrulee6667]

Wow

[@schub542]

one word WOW!!!!!!!!!1111

[@robertjohnson1681]

yaaaaa, could you do that about 200 more times much slower please?

[@Halliday7895]

i hope that comment about flashy riffs wasn't a jab aimed at TONY RICE ! haha jk nice vid!

[@ct4883]

Someone should do a scientific study on the relationship between testosterone and tempo in bluegrass music.

[@wankatronic]

no secret why they were calling this guy "the Intimidator" since he was 17. jeez!

[@rastamaniakTHC]

The guy is like "mistake? what's that?"

[@johnsee7269]

I'm a bit late as usual; lol. Anybody notice that what he's playing is not the Beaumont Rag? Great performer, just playing something similar; maby... 10 or 12 years late; oops.

[@drdent7]

Sure break it down Bryan, I now feel like breaking my guitar.

[@jcsmith9518]

All this really is, is an ad to buy the lesson. We know BS can pick guitar. Was hoping for some practicle finger patterns.

[@robby0609]

Lays down guitar and quietly leaves the room

[@SwitzerlandStudios]

it's just not fair.

[@willpable5575]

Yung Sut

[@Sunburst64]

Hey Fanofchet and Robby, don't give up fella's, Bryan didn't always sound that good either. Hang in there.

[@hammill444]

Good grief! I give up. Some people are just naturally gifted I guess. Back to 3 chord garage I suppose.

[@groovytunes420]

great player...terrible teacher. slow it down a bit more Brian

[@shawnlove2603]

Too much do this do that don't forget this do that do this play all of this do that

[@sunnyray7819]

A beginner isn't going to get much from this.. Not a beginner video at all.. Maybe beginning your 2nd decade of playing..

[@castinajig]

smashed mine...why bother.

[@shreddykrueger3776]

Something for beginners...... If you played this at an open mic you would get so much stank face from the other artists.

[@Grindstaff09]

Please elaborate

[@shreddykrueger3776]

@@Grindstaff09 stank face is a look of disgust because you are playing so good. The look of envy. The fact he says it's for beginners is funny. Most people who have an acoustic probably can't even play that song

[@musicprodave]

This guy is a monster guitar player...wow... great...but...you can't teach like that. Very bad teacher at least in this vid. Love to watch him play though.

[@Ceogr]

Yeah this doesn’t help at all

[@thestillsons]

I do agree with musicprodave, I found him to contradict himself, all very well saying he likes a clear melody then when he plays the melody he changes it every time, great player, bad teacher

[@monsterzero1965]

Its amazing to watch a great player tell you what NOT to do then see another great player doing EXACTLY what the other great player told you NOT to do. Speaking of melody David Griers arrangements sound NOTHING like the song--If the video weren't titled I would think he was making up a new song as he went along
