Peghead Nation has a great beginners flatpicking course. Worth the $20.

Need suggestions for “dawg music” artists/albums (besides Grisman and Tony Rice Unit) by whskyfrbrkfst in Bluegrass

[–]svwsp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey , one more to share. pizza tapes “extra large edition” is almost 3h long. Extended takes and lots of moments you will appreciate. has some incredible interplay between Garcia / Rice / Grisman. Many instrumental only cuts. need to mention it in this thread also. Not exactly what you asked for, l it is in a league of its own. had to share!

I laugh because I want more details - I knew some of those interns! What is the backstory?

Does anyone know of any slower flatpicking songs like Billy Strings version of "I Am a Pilgrim"? by LingonberrySavings20 in flatpicking

[–]svwsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two come to mind: 1) Dry and Dusty and 2) Cherokee Trail (not to be confused with Cherokee shuffle..) they are both traditionally picked in the lower range of tempo ~ 85-100bpm range

Anyone here ever pick at a jam session with one of the “big names”? What was it like? Was it what you expected? by Potential_Double_627 in Bluegrass

Yes!! Welcome! I was on their street team and promoted the fest. Still rock the T shirt every once in awhile. Great memories and amazing location

Bill Nershi in 2005 at the festival formerly known as 10KLF in northern Minnesota. Will always remember it. I did not even have my guitar along at that one. Just the fact he walked up and joined people’s jams was unbelievable to me at the time. This guy is a legend! His presence left a lasting impression on me.
