Lesson and Playalong for how to Improvise and play back up in a bluegrass song.
Bluegrass is a bit different from other fiddle styles in that the genre's emphasis is on SONGS. That means 90% of fiddle playing in this genre is improvised "back up" to a singer or other instrumentalists taking improvised (Or planned) solos. Learning the language of bluegrass involves transcription, listening, some common licks, and common scales (Pentatonic, Major and Minor Blues) and double stops for use in improvisation/backup

This is a great channel. The only problem Austin has is that the youtube search engine is not doing him any favors making it easier to find this wonderful channel.

Thanks Frank- I'm trying to figure out how the system works haha. I just starting asking for subscribes and likes because I believe this helps promote the channel. I also learned recently that If I am more detailed in my video descriptions, the content gets pushed to more people. Learning on the go! Thanks for your support

I started off ok, but after 4 minutes it was waaay too hard. Maybe you didn't need to vary the note order so quickly. Without music to follow that made it very tricky
