Bluegrass Jam Along

This  week we're jamming along to the classic tune Home Sweet Home. This is a performance track, rather than a backing track. It's me playing both tune and backup so you've got a reference to listen to if you're new to the tune, or just want to be able to listen a few times to the whole thing.

If you want a chord chart (or just want to find out more or get in touch),  head to bluegrassjamalong.com

This week we're jamming along to Home Sweet Home and I've got  three brand new backing track episodes for you. This is the jam along track where I play backup, followed by the melody then we keep swapping.  It's four times through in the key of D at 85 bpm.

Don't forget to check out the other three episodes when you're done.

2023 is the 20th anniversary of the release of Mike Marshall and Chris Thile's album of mandolin duets 'Into the Cauldron'.

To mark the anniversary and celebrate the album, and the influence it's had on a whole generation of mandolin players, I've put together two very special episodes.

This is part 2, featuring interviews with mandolin players who were influenced by and love Into the Cauldron, including:

• Daniel Patrick (Mandolins and Beer podcast)
• Jarrod Walker (Billy Strings) 
• Tristan Scroggins (Missy Raines/Scroggins & Rose)
• Dominick Leslie (Hawktail/Molly Tuttle)
• David Benedict (The Foreign Landers)

Don't forget to check out part 1, featuring a brand new interview with Mike Marshall about the album.

Daniel also did a great track by track interview with Mike Marshall on Mandolins and Beer - check that out too!

Happy picking!

To mark the anniversary and celebrate the album, and the influence it's had on a whole generation of mandolin players, I've put together two very special episodes.

This is part 1, featuring a brand new, in-depth interview with Mike Marshall. We chat about how the record came about,  song choices, recording, how they got that amazing reverb and so much more.

It was a fascinating conversation about a wonderful record.

Part 2 will feature interviews with mandolin players who were influenced by and love Into the Cauldron, including Jarrod Walker, Dominick Leslie, Tristan Scroggins, Daniel Patrick and David Benedict.

Happy picking!

This week we're playing another tune back to back at two different speeds  - once at 75 bpm then again at 85. We're doing Big Sciota and we're in the key of G.

We're using the jam along format - that means I'm kicking off playing backup and you're on the tune, then we swap and go round 4 times. Then, after a quick pause, we do the whole thing again at 85 bpm.

Don't forget to grab a chord sheet if you need one from bluegrassjamalong.com

Happy picking!
