Subject: RE: what is old-timey music?
I think you will find massive differences in banjo styles,too.
frailing,Two finger picking[[thumb lead double thumbing]and downpicking, up picking[seegers basic strum] are associated with old timey.
bluegrass tends to be based round scruggs style picking,involving backward ,forward rolls,three finger up picking.quite different.
of course there will be people whose styles crossover from one to the other.Dick Miles
