The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Learn some basic finger style guitar backup to Nine Pound Hammer in the style of Merle Travis. Make sure to palm mute the bass strings. That is a huge component to the signature Travis Style sound. Pay attention to the fingerings in the guitar tablature. Because Merle was so virtuosic you would think he picked with all five fingers of his pick hand, but he in fact just used two! Thumb and a index was all he used. He did use a thumb pick. A lot of the magic he made lies with the coordination of the two hands and the lush jazz chord voicings he'd often use.
