Check out this amazing bluegrass musicianship. Specifically, listen to what Tony Rice (on guitar) does about the 3:30 mark and how he plays with the beat. Keep the beat going by tapping your foot throughout the solo and listen to how he plays “around” the tactus. Brilliant!
Many people mistakenly think that bluegrass is some kind of yokel’s music and doesn’t take much in the way of skill or talent. Fie on them. These guys are stellar.
