Welcome to Bluegrass for the Curious Guitarist! This is a complete bluegrass guitar course that takes you from beginner to advanced levels in which you'll be playing & jamming authentic 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 attached in the additional resources tab. 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 bluegrass players for fun or performance. You'll have every tool you'll need to learn any bluegrass song you choose. You'll be a flatpicking bluegrass guitarist.
This course is easy and fun. Let's get started.
