Last 2 tips for playing Bluegrass: 1. Tune your guitar 2. Don't play a carbon fiber acoustic that sounds like a shoebox with rubber bands wrapped around it.
No. The first bluegrass jam he showed up to like that, everyone would either tell him to not play another note until he tunes, or politely remember that they have elsewhere to be until he’s there alone.
In Country and Bluegrass, use your 3rds to slide up but never back down. Solos are based more around chords than scales, but you can get buy using the blues scale but change up the position when the chords change. Last but not least, learn how to hybrid pick with your fingers on your right hand.
A lot of people pointed out the tuning, but a bigger mistake is thinking a beautiful woman would be line dancing. Two-step would be more likely. Second is the implied equating of country with bluegrass.
Growing up, I never wanted anything to do with “hillbilly music.” But a few years ago I stumbled into a Bluegrass festival in Kentucky and was absolutely blown away by what great musicians many of them are. I was complementing one of the guys and asked if he could read music. He laughed and said “Read music? Boy, I can barely read a newspaper!”
Thanks brother more of how these small movements occur help . I been playing 8 months . Haven't moved from the first 3 frets yet. Wanna learn those 3 frets first. Before I go getting into Barre and power chords.
When you go hammering around on those G A B C low notes - you really should tune your.guitar first. I’m going to try everything you demonstrated the minute I get home in the morning. I was doing that chromatic G string thing capo way up on the five fret. I want to add a few if these licks and see what happens.
Where did you get the idea of ‘everything is in key of G’? There are a lot of tunes in G, but also D, A, C, and songs are played in various keys depends on a range of the singer. Do you actually know Bluegrass?
I'm imagining the absolute disgust on the face of the old bluegrass player as Sean is playing his carbon fibre dreadnaught next to their vintage Martin D28s.
Man you made this video a year late man. I woke up from my blackout and had no idea how to play bluegrass. Luckily there was no need left to impress the girl . . . Mission allready complete so i had to just ask....... wtf key are we in lol
I remember you at our bluegrass jam, we asked you to stand with the banjo players for two reasons, they overpowered you, secondly, with them we never noticed you were out of Tune,...

Please use a tuner 😳🎸
Step one: tune your guitar before trying to teach anyone anything.
Step two: when you’re that far out of tune, that’s not the key of G anymore. lol
Tune that shit MF! Kidding. Hahhahah
Giuitar players stfu! We all play untuned guitars.
Sean is the man. But its better when he has the ladies on.
@@chuckHart70 huh? Most tune. Really.
@@chuckHart70 u doo doo if u cant just tune it quickstyles before playing
I’m glad someone else noticed that
Pretty sure that's part of the schtick...
You cured me of my desire for a carbon fiber guitar.
The only possible option for carbon fiber guards are Composite Acoustic
Amen!
Totally
Check out Lava guitars, they're actually incredible
This Klos sounds like a tin garbage can with strings...
Rule #1 take a guitar made from wood.
Rule #2 take a tuner and use it.
Rule #3 now everthing will be in G.
Yes!!
Imagine showing up to a blue grass jam and playing Honkytonk on a carbon fiber guitar and wondering why everyone staring at your haircut
Step 0: tune your guitar?
Can confirm. This dude taught me everything I know.
:)
Buddy’s the next Tony Rice 😂.
That guitar is as tuned as my stock Toyota Camry.

Ah yes, moonshine tuning - or as it’s often referred “close enough”
"close enough-fuh". FTFY..
🤭
Hahah Nice !
You and I know damn well its not as simple as "play this this and this"
This is the type of stuff that used to piss me off as a beginner
So true lol

“How to get chased out of a bluegrass jam, because we’re in A and you keep playing G runs hoss” 😂

Tune your guitar for crying out loud!

Guitar sounds out of tune 😂. That's a sour G chord
Worst vid ever, if he can’t hear how outta tune he is, he has no right to post anything on guitar gifts.
That guitar is as tuned as my stock Honda Accord
Winning comment!
You forgot the part where they take away your guitar and give you a banjo.
Banjos are only good for target practice
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer Banjos are terrible for target practice.
@@Nick_Lamb so is the target practice for banjos 😉 Pozdro666
Dude, tune that awful sounding guitar.
Brutal but 💯
Is that authentic bluegrass tuning?
No. The first bluegrass jam he showed up to like that, everyone would either tell him to not play another note until he tunes, or politely remember that they have elsewhere to be until he’s there alone.
I loved the info.

Comedy right? Let us hear ya play some bluegrss licks🙏
Any self respecting blue grass band would send you packing with that outta tune jazz box yer pickin' on.
The guitar is definitely out of tune but that’s not a jazz box, it’s either a RainSong or a CA.
@@johndavidtice So?
LOL absolutely
Hey man you gotta keep it a little wonky to stay in tune with the banjo 😂
@@Benry1 Touche sir lol
