Hi Marcel, I love the history lessons on the Bluegrass tunes, and I like your shirt. Piney Flats, TN is about 15 miles away from me on the back roads. Great video!

Glad you liked the lesson! The shirt was sent to me by a fan. If I remember correctly, it's from a comic book called Jake Stone that he wrote and produced. I think him and his daughter do art somewhere in east Tennessee!

I first heard 'Red Haired Boy' in the early 1970s played by Dan Crary on this LP by the Bluegrass Alliance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWjbcqJreL2DbMk Dan's guitar break begins at 22:38. This tune, and also his version of 'Beaumont Rag' on the same LP got me listening to these tracks time and again, trying to learn what was being played. Another LP entitled 'Bluegrass Guitar' on the American Heritage label in 1970 gave me lots of inspiration - his punchy, fluid and clear playing amaze me to this day. Thanks Dan!

Hi there mate thanks for the lesson! I have a question - I've been slowing down the intro of the video to see what you're doing, when slowed down it sounds like you're putting a bit of a swing on it but at normal speed it isnt as noticeable. are you infact putting a swing on it or is it just my ears playing tricks? Thanks!
@blankn16123 жыл бұрын
Hey Marcel, question. Some of your notes sound like they get muted before you move to the next. Is that your way of playing and what should I be looking for in the tabs to understand when that happens?
@LessonsWithMarcel3 жыл бұрын
Totally! This more has to do with how you hear the phrasing in your head. In this tune we have a lot of moments with two quarter notes of the same pitch. For instance, measure four we have two F notes. I tend to hear the first one as short and the second as long in this melody. I've heard lots of fiddle players phrase it similarly but ultimately most of that interpretation is up to you!
