Hello friends,

In today's session I'll be showing you how to combine a basic bluegrass rhythm with some classic flatpicking licks. We'll begin by reviewing the theory behind the 1.4.5 chord progression in G, a bluegrass style strumming pattern, and your major blues scales before combining these elements into a complete practice routine. Let's get started!

Love these picking videos, Rob! It's been a couple years since you created this video, and I don't know if you'll see my comment here. But I'm wondering about the down-up when arpeggio picking. Seems somewhat arbitrary. Is it just a feel thing? Thx so much for all you do.

Really good, Rob. Love the strumming pattern which was new to me. Was really interested in how the blues scales and 12 bar patterns were connected here. Maybe it has finally sunk in about what it means to play a scale or a lick over a chord. Thanks for every step that sheds more light!

Hey Dawn, you can see that it's basically a 12 bar blues in G, but the main difference between the two genres is the rhythm, and the absence of dominant 7 chords. In regards to mixing lead and rhythm elements, its very good to focus on the beat, and realize that you can fill a given measure with whatever you like.

From my demonstration, there are a few common ideas to walk away with. The most important is that the chord is almost always implied on the first beat of a measure, that way your audience knows what you're playing over. This is usually done by playing the root.

Good show Rob. The group I play with does allot of bluegrass with a mixture of folk. This lesson will come in really useful for me. Thanks a bunch and add as much bluegrass stuff as you and your other patrons can stand. It will all be used at least by me. ;-)
