Welcome to this channel devoted to Flatpicking and Bluegrass guitar. A world I've been discovering since 2023, after many years of strumming rock ! I'm Rom, from France where bluegrass isn't really part of our culture. Learning to flatpick is a long but fascinating process. I intend to share you how i play songs i've just transcribed and learned. I'm just an amateur guitarist, self-taught, and don't pretend to replace a professional teacher. But i hope that will help some of you. This sharing will also help me to progress. Let's make progress together !

What kind of guitar is this? Headstock is shaped like recording king but the label doesn’t look like rk
@@colesizemore3849 Hi, it is a Recording King RD-328
@@B-RoM Great. Was hoping so because I’m looking into one. Really like the sound of it here.
@@colesizemore3849 Yes, it's a great guitar. I presume you've already seen it, but if not, the youtube JP Cormier's review of this guitar is interesting. Note that it has a v-neck, i disturbed me at first but now i love (i find that great for flatpicking but not for other kind of music with lot of bars chords)
Amazing, thank you! Requesting Billy's version of dark hollow tabbed out. Video is on youtube, Billy Strings Facebook Live - April 18th 2017. 58 minute mark.
@@vorj548 Hi, thanks you so much. Indeed, that dark hollow version is great!
Thank you so so much for this! Very clear video! Awesome guitar by the way! Please keep doing what you’re doing!

Any chance you have a pdf so I can print this? Thank you for transcribing - it's 🔥
@@Carriesguitar Hi Carrie, nice to see you back on this channel. I saw your selfie with Billy Strings at Blue Ridge Guitar Camp, that must have been awesome, glad for you! I've added the link to the tablature in the video description.
Thank you so much! Yes - it was truly the coolest experience - I've been lucky enough to attend BRGC twice now and I just can't say enough about how amazing it is!

what is means of blue note on chord chart?
@@wujeson3921 Hello, I've never paid attention before, I didn't create these images myself. These appear to be the fundamental notes of each chord. For example, for all variants of the G chord, all the G notes in the chord are blue.
Can you transcribe some Dave Stamey?

Just found this channel and loving the lessons. Do you have the tab that you can share for this one?
Hi, thanks. Tab link added in the video description.

Well done, my friend! It takes a while to learn to play that well and just editing the vid alone with tab & different camera angles is impressive. Appreciate the great content - pls keep 'em coming!

Great job! Thank you 👊👊👊
Thank you so much!
Just a mather of time before this channel Will blow up. Keep up your wounderful work 👍 Jp cormier has some wounderful tunes aswell (for inspiration)
@@eddiejinthehouse Thanks you so much! Not sure this channel will ever take off 😁. But as long as i'll have fun doing that and a few people enjoy it, this suits me 🙂 Yes, JP Cormier is a great guitarist, I kinda bought my guitar by the way because of his review. I'm not familiar with his tunes, I'll have a look, thanks.
Merci ^^ j'aurais aimer les voir à Paris Mais les Hautes Pyrénées c'est loin. Billy Strings et le flat Picking a complètement remis en question mon jeu et mes humbles connaissances de la guitare.
@@ChrisGuitarPlay91 En effet, ça fait une petite trotte depuis les Hautes Pyrénées ! J'ai eu la chance d'y aller, c'était top ! Tout pareil que toi pour la guitare, ça a remis pas mal d'habitudes en question ! Ça fait un an et demi que je ne fais que du flatpicking et je suis un peu paumé quand je réessaie de faire les trucs rock que je faisais avant, et que je maîtrisais pourtant ! 😁
please do a lesson on billys part in west dakota rose
@@braydencrook663 Hi, it's a great song but it seems the main theme is mostly realized by the mandolin during which Billy plays chords ? Do you have a link to a version you like? Which part would you like to learn?
@@B-RoM music.ua-cam.com/video/NVCtbFEDIeE/v-deo.html&si=YIH9AX66a9YKWce7 around 4 minutes when billy comes in doing the melody from the mandolin part 🔥🔥

Wicked! Best one I've found yet! How do you like the Recording King? I have the RD-318 and it's absolutely amazing!
@@Shalalala111 Thank you so much ! I've never really tried high-end guitars, but I love my rd 328 too!!! 🙂
@@B-RoM They are fantastic guitars for the money! I would argue they are up there with guitars that cost 3x as much!
@@B-RoM Hey I wanted to ask you about your Bluechip pick. Are they fairly grippy? Right now I'm using Dunlop primetone picks with the grip and the only reason I haven't gotten a Bluechip is the price. Are they as good as they say? Thanks!
@@Shalalala111 Hi, I used to use PrimeTones too. The BlueChip grip is quite similar to the ungrip version of the primetone, which is ok for me. I think the BC TP48 sound a little brighter than the PT ungrip version and it is close to the PT grip version but it is subtle 😁. I'd say that if you have a pick that suits you perfectly, investing in a BC is not necessary. For me, i prefer however the BC pick because it is a little largest than the small PT triangle (the Large PT triangle is too large for me :)). I've made for you a small video to compare them (sorry, i had no time to use good mic, i did it only my cell phone): drive.google.com/file/d/1aHOzRg0JH9ozAArJINT_AGs8ao3nxSi-/view?usp=sharing
@@B-RoM Hmm, I actually prefer the brighter attack of the PT Grip! I have to say I do like these picks, I've been using them for a while now!
love your helpful lessons for me to adjust my playing habits

I’m definitely gonna get this one down

You rule
Those crosspicking licks are a lot harder than they look! Lotsa right hand - left hand coordination .... like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time. Clarence was way ahead of his time.
@@dodgermartin4895 I agree with you. This piece, which seems easy at first, was one of the hardest for me to learn. I don't know if Clarence played it this way or if he played a few notes with his fingers, but he was very good!
@@B-RoM I remember seeing a video of Clarence... he was explaining his crosspicking.. he called it "McReynolds style" because he was trying to emulate Jesse McReynolds mandolin crosspicking rolls. He did some hybrid flatpicking with fingers and I wonder if had he lived, there would be more picking like that today. I give you tons of credit for this rendition.
I love how you make these videos. So simple. No unnecessary talking. It’s right to the point! Thanks 🙏
@@vjensen56 Thank you so much!
This is great as usual! Hopefully I can attempt fingerstyle cuz I cant use a pick to save my life! Cheers!
