Hi

I’m an hangout member since many years but  I rarely post in this section not being a bluegrass picker… I usually play my own music with varius influences, also I’m more active in the four string section since I play also Tenor banjo(being a professional violin/viola played I’m familiar with fifth tuning)

That said I tried this arrangement of a bluegrass standard and I’m curious of the opinion of bluegrass experts, I started from a tab from a Tony Trishka, but I made sone canges and I added some variations with up neck playing and a bit of more elaborated harmonies (diminushed chords etc)

This is the result…

Hope you enjoy



I'm sorry if the video/audio sync is not perfect

Well done Paolo! Are you coming into the bluegrass fold?
