There are bluegrass guitar breaks that sound like 1000 notes, and there are bluegrass guitar breaks that still sound like the song. This course focuses on building bluegrass guitar breaks that are authentically bluegrass, and still sound like the song.
Intermediate bluegrass and flatpicking guitar players who want to play breaks on bluegrass songs. This could be for people who are already jamming, or for people who want to play a break that sounds like the song.

Each song is presented in Tab, with PDF downloads. There is video and audio of each break, so you can see and hear how it is played.
Each song is presented 4 times; each time, a new concept is added to the break, so the student can clearly see a process to build up a complete break.
The goal is that the student would learn a pattern to create their own breaks. You can learn the songs at your own pace.
In this section, I teach the concepts that I used in the songs:
Learning a Melody
How to Find Double-Stops
Fill-In Licks
Leaving the Melody Behind and Play Something Else
I've written out the melodies to 5 more bluegrass songs in a printable large-format tab. This way, you can practice each technique: writing your own double-stops, choosing fill-in licks, and turning part of the a melody into an eighth-note run.
