    Its like quantum physics, when you observe something, you change it. That is part of what is taking place in a good improvisational jam session.

    First of all, thank you Marcel for all you do. I have been a subscriber here for nearly a year and I have learned a great deal from just the CZcams side of things. I would have to say this video interview with Brian it's one of the best I have seen yet. It's obvious you both eat, sleep and breathe acoustic guitar. Definitely one of the deepest intellectual Bluegrass conversations I've ever heard. So thanks to Brian Sutton for joining you and again thank you so much for posting and sharing.

  • @ZartmoBThoughtForms
    @ZartmoBThoughtForms Před rokem

    Most people can improvise conversation using their home language easily and effortlessly. In music, one must know the language of the song or progression, so-to-speak. Know the notes that make up the chords, the notes that are dissonant against the chords. Know the melody and how the melody hits particular notes at the change of chords. Basically, know the musical vocabulary of the key, song and progression. Then start talking with it. If one is lucky, it gets intuitive and spontaneous. Great video , guys.

    I'm happy I found your channel. I'm new to bluegrass. I'm coming from a Jazz,/Gypsy Jazz background. I Love the genre. The lines, at least to me, they sound like they have a Scott Joplin feel. Like in Beaumont Rag, I hear elements of Scott Joplins, Maple Leaf Rag. I hear these elements everywhere. Beaumont Rag is gonna be the first one I learn. note for note. This info was GREAT for me. I LOVE the way Bluegrass players use the open strings. The way Bryan use the 8th notes to basically improv over the changes, he's arpeggiating the chords. And the use of Motifs/enclosures, in this genre, they're SO much a part of the language, the way the melody is revealing itself. Bryan is a Monster player, and a FANTASTIC educator. Never I have I seen an educator be so expressive, and the info he's given me in this video, it would have taken me years to learn about.

    17:30 - I always enjoying playing with the rhythm like that. ;)
    18:50 - I like that idea of ‘pedalling’ on a particular note in a melody/run - I think it would really take the tedium out of memorizing where the notes are on the neck ;) Also, for training your ear to what an E sounds like :)

  • @deepblueseeds5563
    @deepblueseeds5563 Před rokem

    I’ve played guitar on and off for like 10 years. I never had real lessons I just learned how to copy people to play songs I like. But nowadays, I am tired of that. And tired of most music that mostly involves strumming. But idk how to learn to improvise and go from where I’m at either. I thought l should be learning scales and the keys to play them in but this is harder to do than I thought. Idk what to practice besides trying to learn all the songs I like. I feel like when someone is truly good at playing the guitar they don’t sit down and play someone else’s song they can play some scales or something.

    Hi Marcel I am just starting to learn Bluegrass guitar. When you first started playing BG guitar where did you start? Iam 70yrs old and hope to make that BG sound on the guitar by 80. So how do you make that BG sound chords then scales and a fast picking hand? I know I can do it I just need the right direction, I do play for a couple of hours everyday but feel like I will never get their I know it might take years. Thanks for any tips

    It’s almost like life lessons of how to be you can take away from a jam circle hahaha

  • @safeandsound100
    @safeandsound100 Před 3 lety +1

    The other instruments in the 'jam' have to hold down the chord progression and timing of the song. Otherwise the whole thing can fall in on itself. As long as the chord progression and timing are locked in, the lead player can literally play anything! So the rhythm instruments have a key role to play. Often, a rhythm player is caught listening to a complicated lead part and loss track of a chord change with disastrous results for the song.
