THAT is how you properly do a jam with multiples of the same instrument. Normally, the singer, or the person who chooses the song, will point to each musician in turn, to take a break. EVERYONE who wants one, gets to take one, and the others respectfully back their volume down. No one selfishly drowns out the person taking their break. If someone is on the outside and they move toward the group for their break, the others part like the Red Sea and let them in, not blocking them! Well done folks. Bluegrass people are good people, and this courteous display makes me proud that people around the world, associate this music with our great country.
Always impressed with mandolin and fiddle. Those folks know what the heck they are doing. Guitar and banjo pickers just capo up and do the same thing they always do.
Well that's a little unfair. The mandolin and fiddle don't need capos because their scales are linear. If a song is in b then a mandolin player needs to only move their chop chords up to the same position as if their capo was there. And the scale shapes remain the same up there too. Instead of hitting the open string up there they just hit the note two frets back. The fiddle is tuned just like a mandolin too so that carries over. All bluegrass instruments are hard and to shred any of them take talent.
@@bigal25938 as do I. I also pick the mandolin and dabble in the fiddle so that's why I explained how their scales are linear so it's not necessary to use a capo.

@@directorphase I play a little mandolin too and even know a couple tunes on the fiddle but I really suc at fiddle playing.
@@bigal25938 yeah me too. The fiddle is too hard 😔 that's why for my fiddle fix I stick with the mandolin.
