Hard to meets everyone’s needs but sometimes we mean we are beginners to bluegrass not to playing guitar. Great video

0:56. I was trying to learn the bluegrass technique after hearing Billy Strings and for someone who has never been to an actual guitar teacher and pretty much learned everything from the internet. The wise words means a lot. Thank you

This particular lesson is way too elementary for me, but I stopped just to say once again that Marcel is absolutely the best teacher of bluegrass guitar on YT. His videos got me to some fairly complex improvised soloing very quickly, while everyone else was just teaching the same old "learn all the scales first" approach, which doesn't do much to improve your improvisation or your motivation... Marcel's approach (which I would call "learn some of the key notes in the lower positions first, then start applying them") is far more practical and keeps one's motivation up. Well done, Marcel - a lot of people can play, but not many can teach. You are great at both.

Brisk, friendly, and authoritative. Great lesson. Don’t be fooled by the “elementary” level, especially accompaniment. Getting those bass notes clean and the brushes crisp and in time are actual gosh-darned skills-and considering it’s what you’re playing the majority of the time, well worth getting right.

Not sure how it works everywhere but at our jam you can “pass “when your turn comes around if your not comfortable with soloing. It happens with eye contact . A quick shake of the head.

Thanks for this. I started playing 3 years ago, almost all fingerstyle. Then one day, I was flipping through some music and came across Old Joe Clark and picked up a pick for the first time. Loved the feel and sound and that started me down this Bluegrass rabbit hole. Now, I know the rhythm part too.

At many jams you will see and "inner circle" and "outer circle". The "inner circle" is usually occupied by the folks who started the jam and/or are players known to the group to be better players and singers. While it is perfectly alright to pick along in the "outer circle" or get "the nod" for a break from the song leader, don't presume to push your way into the "inner circle" or to play over someone else's solo. If you pull off a couple of good breaks, you might be invited into the inner circle. A definite no-no if you don't want to alienate yourself from your fellow jammers is to show up late and keep shouting, "Cripple Creek" from the outside circle. If the "inner circle" asks for suggestions, then go ahead and ask, but be aware that the group may have already played that tune once, twice, or three times and want to do other things.

Thanks for this video. I teach guitar and plan to use this lesson for my students. I will teach it with a video and tag you in it. I will go about teaching it with a little different twist on how I present the material. I am trying to get my students hip to the metronome, so my lesson will have that as a featured element. I hope some of my students who want to play blue grass get turned on to your site. I am not hugely into blue grass yet. The style offers such a great path for beginners to start playing melodies that have community and improvisation. That element is making me of a blue grass learner. I have a few things that I working on all the time in my routines and this video is now one of them. I hope to help more folks find your channel. Thanks again!!

@nickeninja Жыл бұрын
A question about structures in blue grass jams. So is it that the band toghether plays A+A+B+B then there is a break where one person improvises and the rest plays rythm, after the break is finished then back to A+A+B+B, then break, then A+A+B+B. Is that correctly understood? Or do they breaks happen during the A+A+B+B sections?
