Beginning Bluegrass Licks

Hey guys,

I used to play Bluegrass guitar many, many, let me reiterate, many years ago. I haven't played Bluegrass guitar in at least 20 years. So I'm really rusty and I'm sure there are others on the board that play much better than I.

I've put together a couple bluegrass licks that are the mainstay of bluegrass guitar playing, plus a couple of bluegrass tags. These are pretty simple and with a bit of practice anyone can get these down without too much trouble.

And, let me apologize in advance for the background noise. I'm baby sitting and my Open Aire Studio, is really open air!

Here's the sounds

Here's some tab. (I'm not a tab guy, so I hope these are right!)

Anyway. I hope these get some bluegrassers fired up!
