Do you remember the first bluegrass jam you ever attended? Robert Jones from Seattle recently shared his experience on the forum, including some of the unexpected challenges he faced. If you've done some jamming, I invite you to read his experience, share some advice. (And if you are new to jamming the thread may prove helpful as well...)

Learn a Killer D Lick from 'Daybreak in Dixie'

Here's a fun video from Jim Pankey featuring Colinda Blankenship of the Black-Eyed Suzies. Colinda plays a sweet D lick on the "Daybreak in Dixie" tune that's similar to something Jim has played before... but with some twists. She teaches us how to play it, slowing it down.

Jim even transcribed the lick, and you can get that tab here.
