Bluegrass can be as simple or as complex as you make it. Not many other genres of guitar have this much flexibility.
It can be a lot of fun for friends getting together just playing basic chords or a five piece band of jamming talent.

If you are already a bluegrass fan, then you know how great it is. It is a lifestyle in itself. It’s fun and has attracted a diverse and loyal following worldwide.
