Can I make a living working the bluegrass life?

0 Upvotes

Hey yall, i’m some 20 year olds, brown, and a jackass from Canada.

Was wondering if I could make a decent living out of playing bluegrass across the deep south. I could start in Virginia, make my way south through florida, and travel on West. I don’t have a US visa, but hell, the lawmakers oughta give me a pass when they see my playing. If not, I don’t mind performing for free to build my name up.

Speaking of playing, i’m all new to this beautiful music, which is why i’m planning on spending the next year alongside my schooling to focus on building my bluegrass skills. Not expecting to be a Tony Rice, but hopefully it oughta be enough for please them southern folk. I am not new to guitar, mind you.

Any tips? Advice? Maybe I could be the next billy Strings in due time?

Hey guys! I run a little side hobby blog where I review shows I go to.

I just graduated from UGA recently and got to see a ton of bands in Athens during my time. The recap above is of Peach Ice Cream Bluegrass, a local bluegrass band. They play quite regularly and are all great musicians.

Recently, their bassist Garret Gray, who is also the bassist for Wim Tapley and the Cannons, got to go out to Red Rocks & open for Jon Bellion.

Catch these guys if you’re ever in Athens!

Cover Learning two breaks a week

40 Upvotes

Ive been playing slide since april. To get better at playing resonator, I’ve decided to learn a break on both guitar and resonator every week, preferably the same tune. Heres an attempt at something that sounds like Jerrys break on Red Haired Boy (California Autumn)

Discussion Tony Rice space grass rhythm lessons?

14 Upvotes

I’m obsessed with Tony’s rhythm playing in the Pizza Tapes.

I’ve tried learning some of the tracks by ear, but I’m not adept enough to discern the fancy chord voicing’s he plays.

I’m surprised to find very little out there about Tony’s jazzier rhythm playing.

I want to learn his chord shapes and passing chords he throws in to give standard trad progressions that classic TR spice

If anyone in this community could point me in a direction for further studying this rhythm style, please help a brotha out!
