blues rhythms and jazz-influenced improvisation.

bluegrass keys of C, G, D, and A minor written in notation and
tablature.

is played to a chord progression that is standard in
bluegrass, country, and folk music.
All 101 examples
are recorded on the companion CD with guitar accompaniment at
a moderate tempo.

fan of old-time country music, traditional bluegrass, or
newgrass, you are sure to find lots of great ideas in this new
