Ultimate Bluegrass Ending

Lesson ID: A0039

Guitar ending riffs are extremely important in bluegrass. If you’ve ever been to a bluegrass jam session, you already know how all the bluegrass musicians will repeat the same chord progressions over and over as they take turns playing their solo breaks. At some point the song has to end, and that’s where ending licks like this one come in handy!
