About Bluegrass for the Curious Guitarist

Welcome to

Bluegrass for the Curious Guitarist

! This is a complete bluegrass guitar course for all levels to get you playing & jamming real bluegrass guitar. This course is in two sections: _Bluegrass Guitar Basics_ & _Songs_. In _Bluegrass Guitar Basics_ , we'll get you up to speed with your basic skills such as reading tabs, basic chords, basic strum patterns, open scale shapes, solo techniques, jam etiquette, & bluegrass history. You don't need to read music - or even learn how to - for this course. Everything in this course is in tab form. (There is a lesson on how to read standard music notation, but it's not a requirement for this course.) Any kind of six-string guitar will work well for this course - electric, acoustic, or classical guitar. Every lesson video has PDFs attachments. Download these, print these, & keep these. Each song in the _Songs_ section has two PDFs - one with the melody & chords, the other with just the chords. Be sure to get all the PDFs. The _Songs_ section has 10 of the most commonly played bluegrass songs. I'll play through each song for you, chord at a time, strum at a time, and note at a time. I'll show you a few methods for playing the chords & melody, then I'll teach you how to jam (solo) over the chord changes. By the end of this course, you'll be playing real bluegrass guitar. You'll be ready to jam with other bluegrassers for fun or performance. You'll have every tool you need to learn any bluegrass song you want. I'm glad you're here - let's begin.
