- This is an introduction to the key aspects of learning to hear, understand, and play like Bill Monroe from the perspective of a long-time student and teacher of the music.
I appreciate the writing on this episode.

Really appreciate that John! 😊🙏
Support!!!
I just heard mule skinner blues for first time Ive heard it but never really hears it till now ,"now that I'm playing mandolin. " I'm gonna rip that shit someday. Mr monroe lives on. Thanks bill.
Did bill know leadbelly? Do ya know? Cause seems like they were friends through there musical journey..
Don’t know - good question - he certainly got around the country in the early days
35 years. You must have started before you were born.
Mom taught me G, C, and D when I was 4. 😀 👶
Wow! I've never heard such an all aspect breakdown of monroe stylings. Very good. I recently played guitar for a couple gigs with Johnny Campbell. He turned me on to you. I just picked the mandolin back up after an eight year break. Thank you Jeff Trask
Thank you so much, Jeff!! So glad to hear you are back in the saddle! Please give a holler anytime I can help. :D Cheers!
I loved the "intellectual-allity" of this discussion -- it reflects a deep prior thought processing and immense multidimensional study in to the topic --i.e.,the totality of Bill Monroe's music. At the end of the presentation though I am conflicted. Is our goal to understand Monroe so we could play like him note for note or is it to understand what he was trying to say his music and then present our own efforts which are how we interpret it or hear it? I suppose there is no answer to that? I expect we don't all hear the same thing because different aspect of a tune might most stick in the ear of different folks. I don't really know what I am saying here but I loved this video because it made me think about these things in a new way and I love that. Now if I could only find a good price on some talent I would buy it.
I think you got it! The last lesson of Monroe Style may be to play it your own way, but keep the best parts of the homework and tradition happening.
Thanks so much for this, I will be recommending this to all my mandolin students - some have already become your customers - I am so glad you included Wake Frankfield, a man of great renown for whom I played the banjo for short period of time in Ohio and New York state many, many years ago, what a treat for a young teenager - you are a treasure in the Mando World - you inspire so many of us - thanks for all your generous sharing and great teaching - keep sharing the "code".
You are so welcome Garry, and thanks for sharing with your students. Frank and my folks have been friends for a long time and he made a big impression on me When he came and stayed with us for a while when I was about 10 years old. I learned how to play crazy eights from him and he called me Leroy and my sister Liza while he was there. My sister ended up writing a great banjo tune called Leroy and Liza. So glad you got to know and pick with Frank he is so amazing!
@@ChrisHenryVideos , Frank is a real treasure, and I think he is still teaching in Saratoga Springs.
thanks you.... very helpful for me
very welcome!! :) glad you are connected with the Monroe Lineage
I have had the honor of being accepted as a student of this man. To say he is truly amazing is a understatement.
I appreciate that so much, Don! Thank you! I am grateful to have connected with you and am learning lots of good thing from you too!! 😀🙏🎶 🐶 😸
I'm 15 years old and I've been playing Mandolin by ear for one year and I can replicate Bills style to a point

This is just brilliant, I’ve listened numerous times and each time I take away something new thank you Chris.
Thank you very much, John!! 😀🙏
I cut my teeth to your MM videos !!! So good to see you again!
Cheers, Nick! Love hearing that!
Came to listen to Monroe but grateful for listening to Chris; now motivated to study Monroe and just not listen to the legend. Thank you Chris🌹.
I appreciate your comments a lot, Raajarshi!! Thanks! and happy studying! give a holler anytime I can help christopher@noyamountainmusic.com
@@ChrisHenryVideos feels good to hear back with such a welcome note Chris. Thanks again.🙏
Excellent Chris! And motivating too, I’m motivated to set up my next lesson witcha.
thanks Doug! Give a holler and we'll set it up! :)
What’s the name of the last tune in this video? It’s beautiful.
Thanks CJ! It’s an original called Ahuanari after a Peruvian friend.
You are my captain, my captain.
😊 mighty kind, Allen! 🙏
Your Ma was the Murphy Method? Wow! I coulda had a V-8! You should have many more subs. You should come out to Chicago and do a camp.
Don Stiernberg and Brian Oberlin just did one in October. Mostly swing, but you could cover your five “captains” and start a movement!
Yessir! She’s still teaching a little up in Winchester, VA. I just transitioned into teaching full time last year, so a little slow getting this channel developed, but plan to spend more time with it this year. Would love to get up that way for a camp that could be fantastic!
Ok stupid question: I’ve been learning solos on four different instruments for several years, but I always tab them as I go. I learn them in chunks, and when I start going too fast, I almost have a panic attack. Almost like when you’re trying to type too fast. Then I have to walk away, and reboot. But I need that tab to know where I left off. Sometimes when I’m trying to learn something new to play out, I’ll use a tab if it’s easy to find. Banjo is an different story for me, I need the tab, especially if I haven’t practiced in a while. Lastly, I get in bad habit of learning solos, instead know the instrument. I know all the TR breaks, but if I have to improvise and it doesn’t fall into his “pattern” I’m exposed. It sucks, but at least I have it. When I played Tele twang stuff in country bands, Inhad all the minor pent blues box stuff. Then I learned the CAGED system, and instead of guessing when I go linear, I’m not a complete chop. However, is there a CAGED system of sorts for Mando? I’ve seen instructional videos that prescribe the skip and fret method of soloing, and it’s OK, but I’m still not out of the mystery stage with Mando because I’ve never had anyone better than me to show me the way.
Allen I’m sorry I missed your question. Not sure about a CAGED system on mando. Would be happy to help how I can tho. I offer half off a first private lesson - Christopher@noyamountainmusic.com - if that is ever of interest. All the best. 😊🎶
Superb, Chris!
Thanks very much!!
Great stuff, Christopher!!!
Thanks a lot, Mike! Fun to share this stuff! :D
