Driving Bluegrass Rhythm: Medium Tempo With Fills

Description

In this one I show you how to put all this together, playing the full 1, 4, 5 progression in the key of G

Start out in the G chord for almost two measures, and walk into the 4 chord. Go back to the 1, and then to the 5 chord. Go back to the 1 chord, and play the last measure.

Use up, and downstrokes with the pick, but remember to play the fills with downstrokes.

You should also be able to recognize all these strumming patterns, when you hear them used from now on.

The next tutorial covers a 16th note strumming pattern, without the ghost note. When you feel ready, move on to Driving Bluegrass Rhythm Strumming 16th Notes

If you haven't learned the strumming pattern in Fast Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar be sure to get that one too.

After you get used to this, you can gradually speed it up.
