I would actually say it’s the opposite of obtuse. It’s not thinking into something without actually knowing. One should assume stuff :)
as for bluegrass, I’m super hooked on Billy Strings. He started my lust for acoustic playing, and the genere as a whole. Since discovering him I’ve gotten into the greats like Doc and Merle Watson, Bryan Sutton, Tony Rice, and Peter Rowan.
I love how they manipulate the instrument and really push that syncopation while playing. My all-time favorite video to watch is this livestream by Billy - https://youtu.be/BtuGnNlX-UI
It’s the first thing I listen too every day for the last 2 months, and I’ve gotten to the point where I’m watching and not really listening. I’m learning from watching his techniques and styles. I was heavily inspired by Billy when he spoke about how he learned… from watching his dad and just listening. Watching him play, has done way more for my learning then any lessons I’ve ever taken.
I’m open to any recommendations for good acoustic playing in this genre :)
Great name, I’m always trying to expand my music tastes, do you have any Bluegrass reccos? What’s your usual fix?
Cmon man! That’s a deliberately obtuse way to interpret the story!
