Video Lesson: How to End a Song

$
0
0

Hi everyone.  This is a lesson on how to end a typical bluegrass vocal song.  I talk about what the entire band is doing, the chords involved, and the length of time it usually takes.  I show this on the guitar and then try to show you how to create your own endings based on other typical Scruggs licks that you should already be familiar with.  I'm trying to help folks see the "Big Picture" and understand the structure so they might have a deeper understanding of what's happening musically.  This should allow for more creativity and improvisation.  This video should be beneficial to beginners and new intermediates and could also help an experienced player break out of a rut by creating new ending licks.  The video is more of a discussion about endings instead of me breaking down licks in detail.  If you have specific questions, please let me know.

For some reason the last section of the video is out of sync with the audio.  I apologize for that and hope that it's not too much of a distraction.  Also, as always, please overlook my mistakes and non-expert playing.  Hopefully it will give someone out there a lightbulb moment.

All original 1989 Flatiron Sweetgrass banjo, Kulesh Sr ring, $1349!!!

All original near mint 1989 Flatiron Sweetgrass banjo. Some Flatirons had Steve Ryan rings and a number had the coveted Richard Kulesh Sr rings that many Greg Rich Era banjos also had. This is one of the lucky ones that came w/ the Kulesh ring. These Flatirons are wonderfully constructed banjos, built in Gibson's Bozeman Montana plant in the late 80'- early 90's. This one will go toe to toe with the best of the Rich Era's RB250's.

Hey everyone, here is my rendition of Ola Belle Reed's classic tune, "Undone in Sorrow."  Its in Open G tuning, and it is one of the first tunes that I have tried to learn by ear... Interestingly enough, today is one year almost to the day since I posted my first tune on the hangout!  That means I've been playing for about 1 year and two months - and I still haven't had a lesson :)  As always, comments and feedback are more than welcome!  Hope you enoy it,,,

Any Other Sensitives Out There?

I am a highly sensitive person in that I seem to feel stuff more than some. I struggle with bright lights, pick up on others' emotions, can't seem to eat everything I want to eat, hate parties, love intensity but easily become over-stimulated. I think the up side is that I am very intuitive, empathic and deep feeling and that being sensitive makes me a sensitive intuitive musician. Any other sensitives out there?

Waiting for my Ratliff A style mandolin

$

0

I own a Ratliff A model.  It was given to me by some friends who wanted to give me something for recording their music into a CD.  The neck had a story to it.  It was originally made and was shipped to its customer.  In shipment the neck was completely cracked in two.  They sent it back to Audie Ratliff and he sent them another mandolin, and kept and repaired this mandolin.  He glued the crack together.  He turned it into his own mandolin for personal use.  

But when my friends visited Ratliff Mandolins one summer, they heard Audie play this mandolin, and they said the tone was amazing.  So they bought the mandolin for me. 

I got it and played it day and night.  One summer the crack started coming apart, and so it eventually broke free because the action kept getting higher and higher.  It eventually split, and I sent it back to Audie Ratliff to fix it.  I sent it back  last January, and he told me it would be awhile.  Well I just heard from Audie that he's putting the  finish coat of spray on the mandolin.  Should be getting it this month sometime soon.

I can't wait!
