My guest n this episode is Marcel Ardans, from the Lessons With Marcel YouTube channel.

Marcel has spent hours (probably weeks) transcribing the playing of bluegrass players. In this episode he picks four of his favourites and we chat about their styles, influences and what makes them unique.

First up is Billy Strings, followed by Trey Hensley, Molly Tuttle and Tony Rice.

Check out Marcel’s fantastic YouTube channel if you haven’t already – Lessons with Marcel – and aslo Marcel’s website, where you’ll find TABs of the artists we chat about (many of them free).

Bluegrass Jam Along is proud to be sponsored by Collings Guitars and Mandolins – making some of the finest guitars and mandolins in the world since the 1970s.
