Bluegrass on guitar

Bluegrass on guitar: the strumming pattern “boom-chuck”, in 4/4, with audio on its own page. On the acoustic guitar, a chord progression comes to life as full, ringing shapes, with the low string anchoring the bass and the rest filling out the harmony.

Born in the mountains of the American South, bluegrass runs fast: a steady pulse, acoustic energy, and high voices in harmony. Here you'll find the style's strumming patterns — which simply means the quick, tightly locked figures that keep all that speed organized.
