Nice !!  Thanks guys .  

Hi Mike, Yes, it's very important to use a thick pick when playing bluegrass. You've hit the nail on the head about a thick pick helping out with the getting a stout, well-defined...

Hi Chris --- great lesson, thank you.  One thing I need to work on is getting the alternating bass louder and more defined.   I have a semi-related question --- do you use a thick...
