Thread Name: Bluegrass bass runs
Subject: RE: Bluegrass bass runs
Anahootz--we know what you're talking about, but, lacking rhythmic notation, it might be a bit vague to the uninitiated--it helps(to a degree, anyway) to give a pattern in syllables--like "Bumm-ba-um badum bum!", along with the notes names--

Years ago, there was a great article in Guitar Player Magazine(back when they talked about all kinds of music) that showed how to play 25 standard country/bluegrass licks--sadly, that issue was one of the casualties of a nasty divorce and custody battle--
