Tunefox
The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Potatoes AKA "taters" Are a classic way to start a tune. You play them before the first measure and it lets everyone know who fast you'll be playing. This is a short, one measure kickoff. Here, we are using an alternating thumb roll and pinches. You can slide in from the 4th fret as written. If you slide in from the 3rd fret, you'll get a more bluesy sound. Sliding in from the 2nd fret is also a common slide for these potatoes and other Scruggs style licks.
