Great lesson. I swear I saw you do this with Uncle Larry and looked everywhere to find it again. Thankfully I found it here. Such a simple concept, and I’ve been playing for over 50 years, but I like practicing this with the metronome while trying to think about other things or even talk out loud.
I've been playing guitar for 20 years and when I play bluegrass, I use my thumb for the boom and my fingers for the chuck. I am actually horrible at using a pick. I've always just used my hands. But I play on a nylon string guitar, because its what I have.
Thanks for the lesson. Could you please tell me what model Martin guitar you play here? I've purchased a second hand one recently from a widow. There is no label inside and me not being familiar with Martins (could never afford them) I have no idea what it is. All I know it it sounds great. It looks exactly like the one you play here. Thanks.
AHH, now I see! I was doing wrong...I was trying the BUM Chuck, not the BOOM Chuck! My only excuse is that I was misled by the guy who was trying to teach me! Seriously, I'm a banjo picker, and I'm having some trouble keeping banjo habits out of my guitar playing!
Good LORD this guy loves the sound of his own voice so much more than the guitar. So much talking and so little playing. Just playing it is worth 1000 words.
As a musician of almost 20 years, this guy knows his stuff and is one of the best teachers ive seen inside a youtube vid
I agree but you know it’s Bryan Sutton
I do now.
@@joshferguson9703 we all know 😉
Yes! I love these videos! We need more Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar videos on RUclips
@Mike Bastiat Sure have!
The spruce grain of your Martin is mermerizing

Very good, top teacher.
Thanks for the lesson. God bless.
Rhythm is everything.

when Brian Sutton talks bluegrass, I listen.
Smart man..
Saw this guy in person in 2008. He was a monster flatpicker
Most likely still is :)
Nicely done. Thanks.

That guitar 😍 hoping my Martin ages that gracefully
Thank you for a good fundamental review; gotta have strong fundamental for any more advanced skills to happen !!!!
Just look at the grain in that guitar top. Amazing.
Awesome great music song. Bass guitar 🎸 so sound. Playing guitar

It looks like a vintage Martin D-18, a really nice one. Maybe from the fifties or sixties? but I really don't know the exact year.
@@reiniervannek Thank you. I got a good deal.
That’d be a prewar D18. 1936 I believe
@@michaelcrosby6955 Thank you

Having a hard time getting our singer to get the boom chuck down in our band.
What kind of shoes are those? Hushpuppies? Serious question, I really like them.
Chukka boots. 👀😉
It's funny how the professional teachers tell you to put your thumb on the back of the neck and the professional musicians never do.
Depends on type of music, shape of neck.
It's being accurate all of the time on the base notes.aghhh
Beginner clarity: even if we think in terms of down/up, the Boom and the Chuck are both downs. not down-up. Just sayin'.
I've always called it..
Boom Chick... not chuck
not in bluegrass!
haha
boom chuck in Maine
boom chuck in Miami

Then why are you watching tutorials? Just listen to the songs lol
Out of 5:42only about 60 seconds is actually playing, the rest is yak, yak, yak! What a waste of time.
And that's why you'll never be a good flat picker Jay!!!!!!!!!!!
Another kid with a short attention span. What's with your generation anyway?
Boom Chick!! Not Chuck!
