The Art of Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar with Chris Jones
Editorial Review:
Description
Tony Rice once said that "PLAYING RHYTHM IS AS CHALLENGING AS PLAYING LEAD" REFINE YOUR BLUEGRASS RHYTHM PLAYING SKILLS! Learn the style, fanciness, smoothness, comfort, finess, power, dynamics & subtle details that will make you sound slick! 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, & 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 & Riverbend, Weary Hearts, & Special Consensus, to the Lynn Morris Band & 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 & contemporary feels, using both power & sensitivity to provide the backing that perfectly fits each particular song. Chris gives insight into the styles of masters like Jimmy Martin, Lester Flatt & Tony Rice, & gives you his own perspective that has made him a sought-after rhythm guitar instructor at workshops & bluegrass camps throughout North America. Chris takes you from basic right hand fundamentals, tone, & timing, to bass runs, the G-run, & strum & chord voicing variations that give you the tools to master the most underrated skill in bluegrass music: The Art Of Bluegrass Rhythm. Also includes: Dynamics, solving speed problems, rhythm patterns & combinations, slow song approach to rhythm, waltz time approach, capo purposes, the illusive "rest stroke", alternating bass notes, bouncy rhythm, straight 8's feel (country feel), swing rhythm strumming technique, 7th chord concepts, 3-note bass chords in Bluegrass rhythm, bass hammer-ons, punchy beginnings, dressed up endings, & much more.
