Listen to Doc Watson he's the best

[@andrewgelwicks6936]

Getting into playing bluegrass and got really into an indiana "newgrass" band called The Debutants. They have an awesome song called "Wish I had an Airplane" that is really fun to play. Highly recommend anyone to look it up on Spotify and they have a cool video of their string band playing it on youtube.

[@MezzMcGillicuddy1]

Great video! Some of my best friends have been killed by bluegrass songs.

[@darkmysterytemple]

Nine Pound Hammer , sounds good on guitar , mandolin, and banjo

[@wandacass3981]

Dooley capoV or VII fret

[@thursday4267]

Thank you!

[@Teeder]

Nice use and explanation of the capo! A lot of instructors take the most basic of information for granted. Your video beautifully explains, demystifies, and clarifies a topic that is probably confusing for a lot of novice players. For more seasoned players, it never hurts to be refreshed about maintaining the same “key” through the use of the capo. Thank you for your teaching expertise!

[@cameronsimonton2515]

I was JUST trying to figure out why the to put Capo on a particular fret!! 🎉

[@bobbywilliams5002]

excellent , thank you

Outstanding thank you

My favorite to play is The Nashville Skyline Rag. I'm not great but I'm having a blast

[@foggymountainmusic3468]

4 and 20 elders by John Hunley

[@VileKyleMiller]

I like throwing a Gm in there, and bouncing fingers on/off for 7s, adds that suspicion

[@fershnibbity330]

Playing guitar for 16 years and this is the first time a capo was explained to me in a way that made sense. I’m gonna use this all the time now

[@toodlesmcghee]

Oh my goodness!! Me too! Mind blown!

[@Redwoods.]

That is absolutely wild

[@FilosophicalPharmer]

proud to say I learned the same thing about the capo but from the finest bluegrass guitarist I know - the Barber in Drexel, NC. I love that old man. Y’all come by some time! And bring your capo! 👍🏼

[@ChrisScian]

I've never used that approach to placing the capo on the neck and I've been playing for years...thanks for the tip!

[@michaeltupper1536]

I want to learn Alberta the way Billy strings and his dad play it !

[@timdecker6215]

Can someone tell me what song was played in the beginning? It‘s a beautiful chord progression

[@Dave-nm3xc]

Tganks for the awesome video! I never looked at using a capo this way.

[@TheOkeanaSkies]

This explanation of capo really helped me, thanks

[@bradcollins5078]

What the name of your capo thk

[@mountainmover777]

I gave up on guitar in the past because of my difficulty with B. That and barred chords in general.. I'm glad I looked back into trying to find a way around that handicap. Thank you!

[@De_Vliegende_Hollander]

I overcame this handicap by learning power chords

[@Srishtiislife1221]

Thank sir

[@jamz2022]

I'm positive that there's gony be a masive boom in the bluegrass style cause its roots touches evry soul I absolutely love flat picking

[@austingode]

Ok just learnt a load thanks 🙏 … subbed

[@chipvoile7525]

bang on my friend one of the best lessons i have ever seen

[@NativeYoga]

Great video! I was in TN this week and saw the most amazing bluegrass session. I play guitar but want to figure out how to get on the bluegrass. Found your video and that was a great explanation. Thank you

[@michaeltupper1536]

Just found you. Have played around with guitar for 50 years. I want to play bluegrass correctly! I struggle with putting the capo in the right key so the capo is not in the key we’re playing but the root note is correct? I need to learn what every fret in standing tuning is with capo

[@rogerletsom2127]

I really learned alot from just this one lesson! My favorite Bluegrass song is "Fox On The Run". Thanks!

[@richwiz2]

Nice trick; now, the flat-picking part.

[@johngalloway7018]

Are most bluegrass songs played in key of g-c-a? Using capo is easy. What about d? And you also mentioned capo 3. What is that?

[@robertbussa2606]

I’m just starting out to learn guitar late in life and I wondered how to use a capo. Thank you so much for this lesson. I really appreciate it.

[@Tailgatetyler]

One YT video that’s actually informative props man subscribed

[@estahl2216]

Wow. I just learned a lot! Thank you!

[@OneDrunkWizard]

Man the chord numbers translate up each Fret with a Capo? This is necessary information thank you!

[@rosepetalkittens6318]

great lesson thanks. clarified alot of things.

[@AnneS508]

Thank you so much for explaining a capo and how it works. I always wondered. I had a guitar teacher years ago who thought it was cheating and would never tell me about it. Since I will only ever be a beginning guitarist, I am quite happy for things that simplify the playing and give me more pleasure out of the guitar.

[@mjs2016]

Not to nitpick your comment, but to be confident in that you'll "only ever be a beginner" is really limiting yourself. You'll never be good if you don't first believe you can be.

[@patrickd8820]

As a guitar teacher, your old teacher frustrates me 😤

[@robertshorthill6836]

A capo is not a cheating device. It is a useful tool for being able to use open strings in any given key. Open strings give sustain which is near impossible with fretted strings. Try playing in Bb without a capo. Use a capo at 3rd fret and play in key of G major. You will see the benefit of a capo.

[@flouisbailey]

Thanks for Bluegrass Theory 101, Turmoil In Tinfoil.

[@learnwithMissEllie]

White light/white heat - Ralph Stanley Pretty please?

[@annettedillon3233]

When I play guitar on a bluegrass song, people will say I’m not playing bluegrass style. Is it a strum, picking or a run, like in your intro?

[@kenz2756]

It's a mix between flatpicking and strumming, but you don't strum the whole chord, just a portion of the strings.

[@tarrasque419]

If you're playing bluegrass rhythm guitar its gotta be percussive type strumming, generally you're going to strum on every beat, you really have to count and be rock solid.. you're not playing the full chord on every beat but you're gonna have to learn some finesse with your right hand (ie upstrokes/downstrokes, muting, etc).. that will really improve your bluegrass playing..

[@Rudhnejdbehdhdjdhebdbbdnennd]

He looks like budget Tom Hanks

[@oscarlandag1831]

Came to find this comment! 😂

[@mellowgeekstudio]

I have practically zero knowledge of the bluegrass genre but the movie "The Broken Circle Brrakdown" made me fascinated by it, so it would amazing to learn how to play "Will the Circle be Unbroken?". Looking forward to the next lessons!

[@zomni1]

Thanks for the video. I’m going to jam bluegrass Sunday with some friends, my first time ever. If you listened to one of my songs you’d say….good luck

[@ThatguyUkn0wfr0mS0mewhere]

Who else is trying to learn Dueling Banjos?

[@BrandonScottSellner]

Great lesson in general. Short but helpful music theory tips too for those who haven’t looked at it like this before.

[@mastertechnique9707]

Great teaching.

[@steveparker951]

Wow a breakthrough for me thank you

[@dominocweber9763]

Shoot! Im just learning and am really only interested in playing bluegrass so this short clip was a wealth of information for me. Thank you sir.

[@djkillahcam]

What model Taylor are you using? It's so gorgeous

[@tmfoote6]

You are a gifted teacher. Very nice video.

[@peteteproductions]

where is the rest of this series? that was one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen. Nice job, man.

[@allangarvey8474]

I consider myself an advanced beginner. Is "Rollin In My sweet Babies Arms" considered bluegrass? My second option is "Shady Grove".

[@billmooremoore811]

Alex Garvey, "Rollin in my Sweet Baby's Arms" is considered a staple of bluegrass and should be found on Google.

[@JSDJerry]

Just watched your video ''how to use a capo' before this one. I now know i should find and practice G shape 145 chords with capo in various keys. Do I repeat this with C shape chords, then E shape, etc.? Is the rule, when the original key is in, say G, use G shape capo chords; if original is in E, use E shape chords?

[@johnbolton3542]

Billy strings. dust in a baggie

[@charizarddragon2071]

John Bolton I saw him on reddit and it inspired me to learn bluegrass lol

[@johnconway4833]

Excellent player.

[@sleepovergonewrong4839]

I want to play Black Elk bye The Infamous Stringdusters

[@abalaabala995]

Wowww

[@RussellSyx]

Do you intentionally leave the truss rod cover off, or is it damaged somehow ? just curious

[@johndcoffee632]

I leave mine off for quick adjustments mostly.

[@MusoraOfficial]

This guitar is used for songs in many different tunings, and with different thicknesses of strings. So the truss rod needs lots of adjustments!

[@RussellSyx]

@@MusoraOfficial Totally makes sense, thanks

[@michaelhutchens4243]

Maybe play along with Orange Blossom Special, and pick out a lead in Foggy Mountain Breakdown

[@randytritt4610]

My favorite is Dooley by the Dillards!!! Done a cover of that one last year!!🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻🍻

[@gracepotter1856]

An awesome song!!

[@dsartain3404]

Great lesson, thank you, you’ve made playing bluegrass achievable.

[@alueriksson1386]

Hi, Thank you for explaining a capo and how it works . So direct och clearly You are not like others that talk 89% of the video and teach the rest. We have a proverb "Mycket snack och lite verkstad" I´m a 50 years beginner since a couple months ago and I have been dreaming to learn how to play little bluegrass. In Sweden we do not have much possibility to get lessons about this genre. I `m looking for your next lessons.

[@Srishtiislife1221]

Beginners video please sir

I think bluegrass is good for making some cool sounds on an acoustic if you don’t know what to play or practice

[@DavidLaFerney]

You lost me with the opening!

[@keeganwalker8229]

[@badhabit8824]

your missing truss rod cover is stressful lol

[@russhicksart]

[@charizarddragon2071]

Haha what is wrong with Taylor?? I’m truly curious

[@ShortsViews0]

Am I first???
