Description
This lesson was a special request from a buddy, and a true bluegrass lover. Eero this is for you, and there's much more bluegrass coming.
The run was used often by Jimmy Martin, and as I said in a previous lesson this is the G position I picked up from Tony Rice.
Jimmy often used this after singing a line of a verse or chorus, or in some cases in the middle of a line.
We are using the same strumming pattern here, but I have the capo in the 4th fret. When playing a G chord there, you're actually playing a B chord.
Play one measure in G, and start a 2nd measure. After the first strum you start the short G run.
Use all downstrokes for the strumming, but the pick motion changes some for the run.
When you get it down, don't forget to practice without the capo, and also moving the capo.
