    I am not “from Kentucky “ I am from the deep country of North Carolina, one of the original 13 colonies. I appreciate that you took the time to teach this, and I will be learning how to play from you. You’re the man.

    Fantastic lessons, Ed. Much appreciated. Have you done any lessons on how to incorporate some improvisation into the melody of a bluegrass song? I'm curious how you go about spicing up the basic melody of a bluegrass tune and am also curious if you always play in 2nd position. Thanks

    Hi mark, 🙏 thanks! Take a look at my worried man blues lesson. Depends on the tune, my fave is 2nd but 1st and 12th work well too and other positions for minor tunes. Cheers

    Nice explaination of modern bluegrass but the origins are deeper rooted in Irish and Scottish immigrant folk music. True Americana. Not many know that the term "redneck" came from what the gov would call the Celtic moonshiners that wore red scarfs and would head to the hills during the whiskey rebellion in Tennessee and Kentucky

    Its a very interesting history, thanks! One thing I wonder- was it ever called Bluegrass music though before Bill Munroe? It would've been 'Old-Timey' or 'Hillbilly' I presume? Ed

    bill monroe definitely invented bluegrass, genres named after his band. like you said, he was taking all these forms of folk music, the scottish and irish fiddle tunes, blues and the banjo from southern black culture, gospel music, to create his own style of pop music that also focused more heavily on soloing. pretty similar to the creation of jazz in my opinion.

    the British are always soooo far ahead of many countires in musical intelligence and genius...it's the truth. even when compared to American musicians they are 20 yrs ahead ...they just 'get' music...its something in the 'british' DNA...

    lol every era of british music since at least the 20s was directly copying what america was creating…jazz, then rock, then more bluesy rock, eventually disco…try again
