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! If you can't get enough of the Stanley style, there's a few more of those linked below also
