r/Bluegrass

i’ve been hunting one forever. preferably the high & lonesome sound. i really want to find one out in the wild but the more places i look it seems i’ll have to order online lol. how did you get your hands on it?

I love what Ronnie said about this collab: “DelFest has always been about more than just a lineup,” said Ronnie McCoury. “It’s about creating space for moments like this, where different generations and styles come together and you can feel where the music is headed.”

Together, the performance underscores DelFest’s role as both a celebration of bluegrass and a platform for its future.

Posting a classic cause I’m majorly into it right now - was originally an English pop tune but sounds like it was always bluegrass. Toms the master

Привет фанаты фолка и блюграса.

У меня есть мандолина, и на ней порвалась струна, я решил заменить, но всегда когда дело доходить до последних двух струнн, они лопаются.

Регулярно, просто на просто я их даже не перетягиваю , струнна будто уже лопнет от перенатяжения , но тюнер показывает к примеру -18.

As a Scruggs Style Banjo player, I think it's weird that everyone thinks you strum banjo.

Sure, there is clawhammer banjo and jazz banjo, and tenor and plectrum banjo. So historically, you do strum a banjo. But the more traditional way is Scruggs style where you finger a banjo. But I guess some Banjo players that came farther down the line, Like Stringbean, did keep a significant popularity to the clawhammer style of banjo. So, one could argue that the people who say that you strum a banjo are right.

But, over the past few decades, Bluegrass Banjo style has been the more "traditional" Way of playing banjo. People could argue Bluegrass musicians like Earl Scruggs, and Bill Monroe pretty much set the standards of Bluegrass Banjo being the more traditional way to play banjo.

As someone who has a kick for bluegrass banjo and bluegrass music. As someone who Plays banjo, of course I would want to go to a bluegrass jam. but the problem is When you try to look up bluegrass jam spots in an area like mine, there almost always is not an official one.

Now, not to point fingers but I feel like the rise of pop music is to blame. Everything now is super autotune. It's never real voices or instruments. But for some stupid reason, People like this kind of crap. In my opinion, Pop music is the junk food of music.
