This week, Mike is taking us on a journey back to the founding days of the David Grisman Quintet with their 1977 hit “Swing 51”, a tune especially revered and loved by Tony Rice enthusiasts. Mike has revisited the mandolin parts and has generously shared all of the techniques and chords you need to play the song yourself. Included in this lesson is the backing track Mike recorded that is used in the lesson, as well as tablature for you to follow along with. You can find the new lesson HERE, or you can also find it in the “New Acoustic” section of the lessons. Enjoy!
