Podcast

All about Bluegrass Jam Along

Interviews

We’ve got dozens of interviews with bluegrass players, writers and instrument builders, from legends like Alison Krauss, Sierra Hull and Bryan Sutton, to some up and coming names. There are also some great extended specials celebrating major bluegrass figures and anniversaries.

Check out the interviews page for more info.

Backing tracks

Every tune has a standard backup track (You Play Lead) for practising the tune over. But you also get a track playing the tune (You Play Rhythm) so you can work on backup AND there’s another track (Jam Along) that swaps between the two, so you can work on your jamming skills. Neat, huh?

What’s more, there’s even a performance track so you can get familiar with the tune before you dive in.

Check out the tune page for a complete list of tunes.

Matt Hutchinson

I’m not a pro musician just a regular picker like you.

That means…

These tracks aren’t recorded in a studio – they’re recorded by me, at home in London (did I mention I’m a Brit?)
They’re not note perfect – they’ll feel like exactly what they are, jamming along with another picker who loves bluegrass
I’m not teaching you anything – we’re just jamming. There are so many amazing resources for learning fiddle tunes out there. This podcast lets you use whichever version of the tune you’ve learned, wherever you learned it (from a book, DVD, YouTube, your teacher, at a local jam…)
