The Art of Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar
July 26, 2000 Learn the essential fundamentals of solid bluegrass rhythm, then
transform these basics into the art of rhythm. That's what Chris
Jones does in this long-awaited course, and he is uniquely qualified
to teach this subject. Chris has provided great rhythm as a sideman
for bluegrass bands from all across the stylistic spectrum, from Dave
Evans and Riverbend, Weary Hearts, and Special Consensus, to the
Lynn Morris Band and the Vassar Clements Band. Now, as a band
leader, he has synthesized all he's learned from this rich musical
background into his own style which combines traditional and
contemporary feels, using both power and sensitivity to provide the
backing that perfectly fits each particular song. Chris gives insight
into the styles of masters like Jimmy Martin, Lester Flatt and Tony
Rice, and gives you his own perspective that has made him a
sought-after rhythm guitar instructor at workshops and bluegrass
camps throughout North America. Chris takes you from basic right
hand fundamentals, tone, and timing, to bass runs, the G-run, and
strum and chord voicing variations that give you the tools to master
the most underrated skill in bluegrass music: The Art Of Bluegrass
Rhythm.
