proud to say I learned the same thing about the capo but from the finest bluegrass guitarist I know - the Barber in Drexel, NC. I love that old man. Y’all come by some time! And bring your capo! 👍🏼
I gave up on guitar in the past because of my difficulty with B. That and barred chords in general.. I'm glad I looked back into trying to find a way around that handicap. Thank you!
I have practically zero knowledge of the bluegrass genre but the movie "The Broken Circle Brrakdown" made me fascinated by it, so it would amazing to learn how to play "Will the Circle be Unbroken?". Looking forward to the next lessons!
Thank you so much for explaining a capo and how it works. I always wondered. I had a guitar teacher years ago who thought it was cheating and would never tell me about it. Since I will only ever be a beginning guitarist, I am quite happy for things that simplify the playing and give me more pleasure out of the guitar.
Not to nitpick your comment, but to be confident in that you'll "only ever be a beginner" is really limiting yourself. You'll never be good if you don't first believe you can be.
A capo is not a cheating device. It is a useful tool for being able to use open strings in any given key. Open strings give sustain which is near impossible with fretted strings. Try playing in Bb without a capo. Use a capo at 3rd fret and play in key of G major. You will see the benefit of a capo.
Great video! I was in TN this week and saw the most amazing bluegrass session. I play guitar but want to figure out how to get on the bluegrass. Found your video and that was a great explanation. Thank you
Hi, Thank you for explaining a capo and how it works . So direct och clearly You are not like others that talk 89% of the video and teach the rest. We have a proverb "Mycket snack och lite verkstad" I´m a 50 years beginner since a couple months ago and I have been dreaming to learn how to play little bluegrass. In Sweden we do not have much possibility to get lessons about this genre. I `m looking for your next lessons.
Just found you. Have played around with guitar for 50 years. I want to play bluegrass correctly! I struggle with putting the capo in the right key so the capo is not in the key we’re playing but the root note is correct? I need to learn what every fret in standing tuning is with capo
Just watched your video ''how to use a capo' before this one. I now know i should find and practice G shape 145 chords with capo in various keys. Do I repeat this with C shape chords, then E shape, etc.? Is the rule, when the original key is in, say G, use G shape capo chords; if original is in E, use E shape chords?
If you're playing bluegrass rhythm guitar its gotta be percussive type strumming, generally you're going to strum on every beat, you really have to count and be rock solid.. you're not playing the full chord on every beat but you're gonna have to learn some finesse with your right hand (ie upstrokes/downstrokes, muting, etc).. that will really improve your bluegrass playing..

Playing guitar for 16 years and this is the first time a capo was explained to me in a way that made sense. I’m gonna use this all the time now
Oh my goodness!! Me too! Mind blown!
That is absolutely wild

Nice trick; now, the flat-picking part.
I really learned alot from just this one lesson! My favorite Bluegrass song is "Fox On The Run". Thanks!
I’m just starting out to learn guitar late in life and I wondered how to use a capo. Thank you so much for this lesson. I really appreciate it.

As a guitar teacher, your old teacher frustrates me 😤

bang on my friend one of the best lessons i have ever seen
Great lesson in general. Short but helpful music theory tips too for those who haven’t looked at it like this before.
This explanation of capo really helped me, thanks

One YT video that’s actually informative props man subscribed
I've never used that approach to placing the capo on the neck and I've been playing for years...thanks for the tip!
Shoot! Im just learning and am really only interested in playing bluegrass so this short clip was a wealth of information for me. Thank you sir.
Billy strings. dust in a baggie
John Bolton
I saw him on reddit and it inspired me to learn bluegrass lol
Excellent player.
@@charizarddragon2071 same lol
And that's how I found bluegrass lol
THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT JUST BROUGHT ME HERE
I like throwing a Gm in there, and bouncing fingers on/off for 7s, adds that suspicion

Tganks for the awesome video! I never looked at using a capo this way.
My favorite to play is The Nashville Skyline Rag. I'm not great but I'm having a blast
I was JUST trying to figure out why the to put Capo on a particular fret!! 🎉
Listen to Doc Watson he's the best
Outstanding thank you
Nine Pound Hammer , sounds good on guitar , mandolin, and banjo
I'm positive that there's gony be a masive boom in the bluegrass style cause its roots touches evry soul I absolutely love flat picking

Wow a breakthrough for me thank you
Can someone tell me what song was played in the beginning? It‘s a beautiful chord progression
Great lesson, thank you, you’ve made playing bluegrass achievable.
You are a gifted teacher. Very nice video.
Wow. I just learned a lot! Thank you!
Thanks learned something today ☮️
Thanks for the video. I’m going to jam bluegrass Sunday with some friends, my first time ever. If you listened to one of my songs you’d say….good luck
excellent , thank you
My favorite is Dooley by the Dillards!!! Done a cover of that one last year!!🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻🍻
An awesome song!!
Are most bluegrass songs played in key of g-c-a? Using capo is easy.
What about d? And you also mentioned capo 3. What is that?
Subscribed! Just what i was looking for and you're a great teacher by what I learned from this video
Thanks for Bluegrass Theory 101, Turmoil In Tinfoil.
great lesson thanks. clarified alot of things.
Ok just learnt a load thanks 🙏 … subbed
What model Taylor are you using? It's so gorgeous
He looks like budget Tom Hanks
Came to find this comment! 😂
Maybe play along with Orange Blossom Special, and pick out a lead in Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Man the chord numbers translate up each Fret with a Capo? This is necessary information thank you!
I want to learn Alberta the way Billy strings and his dad play it !
Favorite Bluegrass - Man of constant sorrows. Second maybe Dustbowl Children
I think bluegrass is good for making some cool sounds on an acoustic if you don’t know what to play or practice
Blackberry Blossom :)

4 and 20 elders by John Hunley
Great teaching.
Dust in a Baggie - Billy Strings
When I play guitar on a bluegrass song, people will say I’m not playing bluegrass style. Is it a strum, picking or a run, like in your intro?
It's a mix between flatpicking and strumming, but you don't strum the whole chord, just a portion of the strings.
If you're playing bluegrass rhythm guitar its gotta be percussive type strumming, generally you're going to strum on every beat, you really have to count and be rock solid.. you're not playing the full chord on every beat but you're gonna have to learn some finesse with your right hand (ie upstrokes/downstrokes, muting, etc).. that will really improve your bluegrass playing..
amazing lesson, I wanna learn "the boy who won't hoe his corn" by Dan Tymenski
I consider myself an advanced beginner. Is "Rollin In My sweet Babies Arms" considered bluegrass? My second option is "Shady Grove".
Alex Garvey, "Rollin in my Sweet Baby's Arms" is considered a staple of bluegrass and should be found on Google.
Extremely informative!! Thanks I'll get to work immediately!!!! Uumm shady grove like the version Garcia / Rice on the pizza tapes !!!
White light/white heat - Ralph Stanley
Pretty please?
Thank sir
Do you intentionally leave the truss rod cover off, or is it damaged somehow ? just curious
I leave mine off for quick adjustments mostly.
This guitar is used for songs in many different tunings, and with different thicknesses of strings. So the truss rod needs lots of adjustments!
@@MusoraMedia Totally makes sense, thanks
I want to play Black Elk bye The Infamous Stringdusters
What the name of your capo thk
Wowww
Dooley capoV or VII fret
foggy mountain breakdown
Cripple Creek, and Shuckin the Corn
Who else is trying to learn Dueling Banjos?

Gin and Juice
dreaming my dreams with you
You lost me with the opening!
Beginners video please sir
Am I first???
Dooley
Yeah.. more of a visual learner than audio.... spare tabs pls?
your missing truss rod cover is stressful lol
step one...don't show up to a bluegrass jam with a Taylor
Haha what is wrong with Taylor?? I’m truly curious
