I have to agree with Rob's method. I have learned many tunes from fiddle, mandolin, and guitar books. You need to get the basic tune. Reading music allows you...
What happened? Just when I had decided that this group was all but defunct, it sprang to life! Trip and others posted videos, we debated the value of...
I apologize for not reading all the posts before posting this, but there are just to many. I have been learning Bluegrass tunes using 3 DVDs. Bluegrass Slow...
Rex, just curious....having played mando and fiddle, how do you find the harmonica compares as a bluegrass instrument? In ease of negotiating tricky fiddle...
I've been diddling at "Marching through Georgia" on the banjo. Yesterday I picked up some harps to find the melody. I need to get the melody secure in my mind...
