Anyone going to Grenna (Gränna) Bluegrass Festival in Sweden (Aug 2025)?

Is any one going to the bluegrass festival called: bluegrass in la Roche?

Is there anyone in Bozeman Montana? I want to start a bluegrass jam.

I add my congratulations Bryan! You, of course , Bela and all of you in the group fully deserve it!!

Hello from Melbourne, good people. This course was heaven sent!!! I've started playing again after a few years of hardly ever touching my guitar, and I just can't understand how that happened :) I'm having an absolute blast with these lessons. Never really played seriously using a pick but always wanted to be able to be able to pull off that GD Jack-A-Roe Reckoning version intro :) A couple of weeks in, now I'm patiently working my way through the Picking Pattern Exercise No. 3 and getting ready to submit my first video. I only wish there was a finger style course that is structured similarly to this one as I'd be onto it in no time! Thank you, mr. Sutton. It's been a delight to be playing again.

Hi, I am learning bluegrass bass so I can jam with my friends and neighbors who need a bass player in in SW Virginia!

Hi tony thanks for the comments on my last ve. You instructed me to try blackberry blossom in the key of c . I am well out of my depth here can you suggest any previous lesson to do to sharpen up or things I should study to get there cheers clint

I just shared this in the Bluegrass Guitar school and thought I'd ask here too: A friend posed a question to be today that I thought I'd share for fun. He asked me "what is a perfect example of a Bluegrass song?". Not the best, but the one that shows the genre. On the spot, I said Bill Monroe doing Molly & Tenbrooks. Anyone have a better answer?

Hello from Omaha, NE. Would love to connect with some people in the area that love bluegrass.

Hi Bluenugget. Hello back from London :) Hope you enjoy the course - I'm 3 months in and having a blast. My playing is improving every week

would anyone be interested in collaborating on a video with me? no matter where your from we could pick some tunes and create a video with us playing! I have done it before so it would be tons of fun, especially during quarantine!

Sounds like fun, Costafy, but I am located in Michigan.

A big HELLO from Cheshire England! My first days on Artistworks and with Bryan's curriculum. Just wanted to say a big thanks to you Bryan and to everybody else for having me in this wonderful learning community. I am an intermediate classical player but have always been a closet blue grass fan. I am very looking forward to learning to play this magical music, and of course; browsing all the video exchange lessons and listening to some wonderful playing from ya'll.

PatriciaB, I"m working on Homer the Roamer, and pretty much plateau'd on Grey Owl. I have the A and B parts down on Homer and will be moving to the C section this week. Its been a month long journey. I submitted the A and B to Bryan, you should see it soon.

Congrats on the upcoming release Libby!

Have a super exciting announcement to make in hopefully just a few days! Stay tuned... ;-)

Speaking of Noam Pickelny, he’s featured in this virtual jam along with a few other folks you might recognize:

Was meant to be the first day o Sorefingers so this is my replacement!

Currently working on "Abide With Me" fingerstyle guitar, and "Redwood" flatpicking!

Chattanooga, TN area?

Howdy! I've been looking for bluegrass jams outside of Pittsburgh. I'd love to get out to Ohio, Western NY, Central PA, West Virginia and Maryland to meet and play with new folks. Weeknights are tricky with the ‘ol day job, but I’m hoping to find some on Saturdays and Sundays when I’m not gigging. Thanks, in advance, for any recommendations in those areas!

Any bluegrass guitar students planning to be at Wintergrass? Would enjoy talking with others who use the site. I’ll be working the festival so will be there through the weekend. Richarf

@tonydeaton I'm (usually) in DC and would be up for a bit of pickin here and there. Are you aware of any of the regular or semi-regular jam sessions in the area?

It is the final event of the Jewish Book Festival at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Starts at 6pm

Fiddle

Thought I'd make an introductory "why cello there", as I'll be rolling through Mike's course on mandocello. Hope to learn a lot from Mike and all y'all's submissions.

Hello. I'm a newbie here. I started playing ukulele and as my fingers got bigger, I transitioned to classical guitar.

If you guys want to hear some cool uke, check me out on YouTube!

Hello, I'm a flatpicking guitar student and I've recently moved to Geneva Switzerland. I played and sang in a Bluegrass band in the US and miss the music and camaraderie. IF there's anyone who sees this who lives in the area and would like to jam, please contact me. Love to play. Ian

Thx Phil

@ Artistworks: My current membership will end in March. Can I book a 12 month plan now with the Holiday discount and use that to renew my membership in March?

Its pay as you wish

Eric:: “Growl Sound” question submitted under the title of “Muted Tonguing (2020.11.16). Yeah, I do another attempt at my nemesis ... Thank you for your time. - r

Andy:: nice job on the YouTube version! I’ll put my other comments in the Forum... - r

OK thanks! In the meantime, if anyone else is trying to use the tag system, my workaround is to create a new tag and that opens the view to see your previously saved tags

Can anyone else see/find the button to open the "Tag" list in a video? It should be right next to the "Bookmark" icon underneath the video player and it's missing for me. The only way I can get to my saved tags is to create a new tag and that will open the list and show all my previously saved tags.

I uploaded a new video recording the night before last night, including a lengthy comment. It then said, "Your upload has completed and is processing", but I fear the video was not uploaded. The same happened today. The fact that I had the chance to upload a video again shows that the first one wasn't uploaded (there's an upload limit of 1 video). Does anyone experience the same? Quite unfortunate.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a Peerless Martin Taylor Maestro. Anyone have one to sell? Do you by any chance know a reliable dealer I could contact to have it shipped to Italy? if you have any information for me you can write to me at manuel.consigli@gmail.com Thanks for your help, a warm greeting to you all! Manuel

Hi dears, What is plucked strings orchestra means?what type of instruments are used? I searched for the term but not sure if I got the meaning? Thank

Hello everyone! Here I would like to share with you this small tribute to Chuck Loeb who passed away 3 years ago... This is just a demo of the full video, Im preparing it, have a nice day and hope you like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M6noYdDcEw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwHH0mxDBhE Hi everyone I want to share with you my new video, hope you like it. Have a nice week

Mike - I had the problem a few days ago and Dan in customer service fixed it right away - perhaps send him a customer service request. They are very quick!!!

oops. Sorry didn't mean to do that. But whilst I'm here, hi from the UK. This is a brilliant course! I love it. : )

Thanks for your thorough advice on the left hand. I get in the trap of thinking there is only one way. So I keep experimenting to make it comfortable and sound better. Stay well. Pamela

If there was an artist works Dave Stryker tshirt with something witty or pithy on it where Dave got a chunk of the profits, i think i could find the cash. Or a coffee mug. Extra points if it's funny. Anyone second? #covid

If you are interested, today at 5:30 PM (EST), live on internet. Heineken Ventana (window to) al Jazz. Humberto Ramírez and his Big Band.

Thank you Adam O'Connor! I can bookmark on regular lessons but cannot bookmark Paul's VE lessons. Maybe try to book mark Paul's response to a student video. The help people say I'm just out of luck because I only have a 3 month subscription but I went over the term of agreement and it does not anything about that limitation.

Thank you berndg. I take it you are well, safe at home too?

Thank you berndg. Peace.
