[@mahogany15]

Yes - Please tab on the website! a thousand times yes!

[@loco.joe.goldfinger]

This might be one of the best lessons you ever posted, as it highlights the importance of not only knowing your vocabulary but also in which context(s) you can use it. It's the latter part that I find myself struggling with, and this video gave me some great insights. So thank you :)

[@chrisbarsis8279]

Excellent lesson! Not only did Marcel improvise/compose a tasty solo, he breaks down his method measure by measure so you can see how the pieces fit together. An outstanding teacher.

[@kofblz]

Yes, please put this tab on the website if you haven't yet. I'll look for it.

[@StashWyslouch]

Awesome breakdown. The way you demonstrate Carter style starting with second guitar part is brilliant!

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Let's do an interview man, would love to talk guitar. Also, hit a brother with a transcription of your Turkey in the Straw craziness.

[@cyclotherapist]

I really appreciate what you do and how thoughtful you are in creating these tablatures. Thank you so much for your contribution to the music.

[@dianebledsoe7878]

Please post this lesson on the site. You’ve shared so much of your knowledge. I’d like to print this so I could analyze it more.

[@AManSnowMan]

This was my favorite video yet. I’m stuck on my leads/breaks/interpretations sounding too “flat”, and this really helped thinking through going the next step to add some ornation.

Hear! Hear! Yes, please post tabs on website. (Hand full of gimme, mouth full of much obliged).

[@heebiestevo7070]

[@tonywatson2682]

[@chrisdavlantes8750]

Marcel, you're such a great musician, and I love learning from you! Please do post this on the site!

[@gregalderson128]

Yes, please put the tab up on website. Thanks!

[@denniskirk195]

This is brilliant! Thanks Marcel. So helpful to explain how to break down a break like this. Please do post the tab!

[@unsurprisingly]

Once again the great billy goat strikes love it keep it up Marcel I hope you're streaming tomorrow brother look forward to being back for real much love from Huntington West Virginia

[@troy9406]

Sometimes i really wish you could push the play button on GP5 over what you have tabbed down, specially when you make two guitars. Thanks for your video today :D

[@dpoersch5050]

Amazing lesson! It is so helpful to see your process to go from the melody to an bluegrass ornamented improv in the key of G. Thanks for using a bluegrass jam standard. A similar video for a jam standard in C or D would be great. THX!

This is a really amazing lesson Marcel. This is something I've not understood how to do at all but you really made it seem pretty easy.

[@alan4sure]

A year later, has it made it easy?

[@JoshSnodgrass]

@@alan4sure Ha, ha, no. I gave up on bluegrass flatpicking. I have been focused on fingerstyle guitar so I haven't had time to work on this. It's too bad, I'd love to learn it.

[@alan4sure]

@@JoshSnodgrass good for ya. I'm better at making 1 pick go fast than having fingers and thumb all moving! Lol

[@JoshSnodgrass]

@@alan4sure Yeah, that totally makes sense. It's hard to play a lot of styles well on guitar. That's what amazes me about Tommy Emmanuel. He can flatpick so well but also he tears it down on fingerstyle!

[@alan4sure]

@@JoshSnodgrass yeah, he's a beast! Like an Olympic athlete compared to brisk walkers!🤣

[@12345AgainstOne]

i normally hate when content creators push certain products but the strum machine seems like an awesome tool to practice music, i dont know if you got a trial from guitar pro but they should really be paying you too because i like it too

[@markhusbands2037]

I play dobro, but really appreciate your music theory videos.

[@michaelhutchens4243]

Very cool insight on how to build a break

[@missy2j]

Thanks! Great method! Think I’ll try this by changing just a couple measures at a time and building my break over a couple weeks.

[@alan4sure]

Got that break done now? Ppl in the jam are getting restless😅

[@merlynschutterle7242]

I play it in the key of E and start it with an E6 but I play it finger style so there is a lot more going on.

[@jeffo3276]

New to your style, but I like it. Please add the tab. That would be great to use it to walk through your process

[@johntait491]

Superbly videod, edited and presented. Well done..!! 👍

[@kylezaccagni4867]

Can you upload the tabs please? My son is 6 but absolutely loves your channel and wants to practice this Thanks!!!!

[@angelovanoeveren7936]

Thank you man! 12:46 18:35

[@PlushToons]

This is a remarkable lesson. Thank you. (I would love to have the tab.)

[@tylerballantyne5526]

Please toss that tab up!

[@jasonjmeyer]

Great lesson. Please post the tab.

[@TheRailroaddan]

Can you transcribe into a bluegrass break for the marshal tucker song Can't you see.

[@daylebluegrassprodigyhurn7904]

Amazing work like always. Pleeeeaaassssseeee take a look at billy strings jingle Bell Rock acustic version, your streams are like 1am for me I think, so I keep missing them 😤. Maybe it could be done like your dust in a baggie video explaining certain phrases intro/break, how the melody is used in both.

[@daylebluegrassprodigyhurn7904]

I got the first 20 seconds, I think

[@guitardoctordon]

Do it, it's a nice break! Not to change the subject but how about Billy's break from Kimmel?

[@gregsanders7064]

Do you have perfect pitch?

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Ha! Not only do I not have perfect pitch but I've worn hearing aids since I was 6.

[@jacobwillis4937]

Hey what computer system are you using?

[@travis8947]

Macintosh

[@NoCoverCharge]

My problem with bluegrass is the rhythm guitar is just so fucking boring .. I went to a jam all fiddle tunes and they wanted me to play G D C all night for 4 hours .. most boring thing I have ever done in my life

[@richardnavarijo7477]

Very nicely done
