In this quick acoustic guitar video lesson, Elixir Strings artist Shawn Persinger gives an introduction to bluegrass picking by taking the melody to traditional Irish fiddle tune Red Haired Boy and breaking it down into A and B sections. Demonstrating both “straight” and embellished approaches to the melody, Shawn gives some great tips as to how to approach the tune, throwing in some Tony Rice and Doc Watson-style licks.
