Learn To Play Open Major Scales In Your Bluegrass Guitar Playing

Click here to watch videoHey Bharath,

Bluegrass music uses a lot of open strings for bass lines as well as chords and lead work.

You're going to need a few major scales under your belt to be comfortable playing in this style!

The most comfortable keys in Bluegrass are: C, G & D. I think if you need an accelerated start to begin playing Bluegrass quickly - you need to know these scales.

These scales are very useful for executing bass lines and lead lines. I take you through every note on every string in the key so you have a good understanding of all the notes you can play in these open zones.

E |----------------------0-1-3-1-0----------------------------------------------|
B |---------------0-1-3-------------3-1-0---------------------------------------|

Bluegrass can be as simple or as complex as you make it. Not many other genres of guitar have this much flexibility.

It can be a lot of fun for friends getting together just playing basic chords or a five piece band of jamming talent.

Bluegrass is a type of music that has basically no electric instruments or drums. It excites the listener by emphasizing notes and just plain good old fashioned picking.

If you are already a bluegrass fan, then you know how great it is. It is a lifestyle in itself. It's fun and has attracted a diverse and loyal following worldwide.
