Hey Devin,
Last night I took my first ever Jam Class. It was nerve racking but I got comfortable as the class went on. I played “Paradise” and “ Little Mounatin Church House”. The instructor talked about “kickoffs” to start a song. Could you point out where I can find beginner “ kickoffs” in G on the website.
Thanks so much, Richie
Excellent question. Beginnings and endings are hard for beginners.
Hey Richie! That would actually be a really great lesson topic...kickoffs and endings that you can use for almost any bluegrass song. Maybe I'll put together a lesson on that next. Some of the bluegrass song lessons I already have on the site teach kickoffs and standard endings but I think this would be a helpful lesson for a lot of people. I might break it into two lessons..one teaching kickoffs and another teaching endings. Thanks for the idea - Devin

This would be useful.
I'd like to see a lesson on this, too. 😀
I used to record myself playing the rhythm part of a song, then I would come back and lay down a lead guitar part. That is the COVID version of a beginner kickoff, although I did that about 15 years ago 🤣
I used to record my ukulele playing but in the dark with a green backlight through a glass of water. I could her myself playing but the picture was like a prism. I thought I was a ukulele legend. 🤑
