Where To Next

One Backstep Forward

Now that you've learned the Clinch Mountain Backstep here's a few suggestions on what to check out next. Since we just learned a Ralph Stanley tune, you might want to check out a tune by the Stanley Brothers. "Think of What You've Done" is a classic Bluegrass number they did. Check out the lead arrangement for Scruggs and/or Melodic, but be sure to learn some backup. When in a jam with friends, or playing along with a recording we're gonna play backup most of the time. So we need to work on that too.

Since we learned a lick that sounds like June Apple, it might be worth checking out that tune!

  Some great Scruggs style rolling backup and up the neck fills. Listen to the Larry Sparks recording of this tune to hear it in action.
