Bluegrass

Hi Everyone,

Lat saturday and sunday I went to a bluegrass festival and everyone was jamming in various groups. Because I am not a confident player I just sang along where I could and observed the others playing.

The thing I noticed was everyone seem to use a similar strumming pattern (country style/Bluegrass?) but I did'nt want to show my ignorance and ask them how to play.

If you were to strum along to say, "man of constant sorrow" or "by the banks of the old oiho", would you use bass struming method and if so would you add something to spice the strumming up?

Next year I want to join in, I am sure If I could get the rhythm I could do it.

Thanks

pete
