In this MicroLesson (ML017), you’ll learn how to play a classic bluegrass rhythm pattern. This includes picking out a simple melody line, while strumming the rhythm. You’ll play the same pattern (down, down, up) throughout the whole thing with your right hand.

Hi Brian

Mark
Probably Hd 28 beautiful sound…clear calm precise lessons friendly person .thankyou Brian
I love this little melody . The tablature does not exactly matching the lesson . It shows G string on the upstroke for the C chord and lesson shows a B. Also the last 2 measures don’t matching what is played
Jeff, I just re-watched the on-screen tab viewer and everything there was in sync. Not sure what nuance you’ve noticed being off – maybe something in the explanation video was played slightly different. That does happen from time to time. Most musicians play things like this a little different every time they do it… so just look at it as you have 2 versions 😉
Brian do you have a favoured pick? What are you using here? I’m using a Wegan which would be about 1.2 but am finding it a bit large. My other preference is Dunlap Ultex 1. I’m using a Martin 0-28vs.
I typically use Fender Medium – whatever thickness that is
Great lesson Brian. Is that the Alvarez blues 51/TBS guitar?
Cool little ditty, I have been on a country blues, and folk as in Dylan and the grateful dead kick this year. Thanks for your work
