Up until encountering this, my understanding of music theory was e-x-t-r-e-m-l-y limited. I rarely check on the "theory " threads, so this might be old hat. Anyhoo... After this, I don't know what my hang-up was.... an "explanation" that I can comprehend .... truth be told, this music theory stuff is easy-peasy.

A lot of people overlook the fact that there are actually 10 notes in a Bluegrass music octave, and I believe that Carlton Haney explained that rather well in the video. The two additional notes in the Bluegrass octave are the blues notes that Bill Monroe learned from his Uncle Pen and Arnold Schultz, and they are, of course, right smart of secret.
