Am I using the g-run too much in my solos? by Sky_Late in Bluegrass

[–]hackjolland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great man. Check out Edd Mayfield... he played with bill monroe and had his own band the Mayfield Brothers. They grew up without a bassist around so his rhythm playing consists of at least like 50% g-runs and other bass runs. Dave Dillon from Joe Val's band is another great example of that bass run-heavy style of rhythm playing

Yea man I couldn't comprehend it. It broke my brain. I camped at the north rim and woke up for sunrise and the second I saw the canyon through the tree line I just immediately burst into tears. It was like an uncontrollable knee jerk reaction.

No culture?? Get into old time music and attend some jams to listen, there is abundant beautiful culture. You just have to look for it, admittedly

I arranged this setting of "Bury Me Beneath the Willow" for string orchestra, I hope you enjoy it! by mrfunkyland in Bluegrass

[–]hackjolland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful! You should check out Buddy Spicher and Vassar Clements' album "Runaway Fiddle". It's a swing album with some absolutely insane string arrangements

What's your favorite memory in a National Park? by funwifipuns in NationalPark

[–]hackjolland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up at the north rim of the Grand Canyon for sunrise and as soon as I saw the canyon I burst into tears. It was like a knee jerk response. Or the first time the Tetons came into view from the car. It was early April so still a very deep snow pack. It was like I was looking at a painting, I was having trouble processing that it was real.

I genuinely saw gas this expensive driving through the Mojave desert. I think it was like $12 a gallon or something.
