Here's a good fun mandolin tune for you. I've been reworking a dobro break for it.

That's great stuff, Renauda, thanks. :smile:

Tom, I'd be all about a co-op but I can't play mando for shit yet. I can get by on guitar, though. :thumb: Let's all do something! I second the idea that we ask Ax.

Good God. Please give me more than dominant/tonic. They didn't even peruse 5th relation and hit the key of D.
Sorry to be the only negative, but I kept wanting, hoping and expecting the "other shoe to drop" in terms of a hook, or something!
Key change, change in rhythm, change in accompaniment pattern, something!!
I confess, I'm not getting it. Just bland to me.

Interesting point. I'm something of a nouveau Bluegrasser but from what I see there is a place in that kind of music for some occasional songs (like this) that don't do anything or go anywhere. They just meander with different instruments playing their parts over and over each time making subtle changes, no major lift or falls, no resolves, just little almost imperceptible twists and turns. You have to listen hard for them, but there is a pay off.

Almost like sitting by a stream and watching (and listening to) the water flow over the rocks.

Bluegrass is a modern American genre with roots in Scots and English Appalachian folk music, gospel, blues and old time country. In short, an amalgam of the music styles Bill Monroe, the father of Bluegrass, grew up hearing and playing in Kentucky. It is not country music.

The tunes are usually simple and are often in a major key or modal. Generally, it consists of I-IV-V progressions although some the best Bluegrass tunes are simply I -V. THe instrumental tune here centers around the mandolin and fiddle. While a lot people mistakenly associate Bluegrass with instrumental virtuosity and speed on banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin the real core of the genre is in the vocal harmonies of its songs. Most of all though, it is fun to play with a group of friends and acquaintances regardless of their level of playing skills.


And for the record, there are never drums in Bluegrass.

So if you don't like it, go listen to something else.

Yes, and what is the deal with rap these days?! Not a single instrumental solo anywhere I've heard.

When it come to rap I take Renauda's advice and go listen to something else.
