Thanks for that, Tobin. I'll dig into that and try the filter. I'm glad you picked up on my problem with the existing bluegrass -- I can't think that fast, much less play. There's a lot of awesome historical info on You Tube with respect to Appalachian music. We are told, "Oh yeah, they brought that music over from England, Scotland, and Ireland. I'm here to tell you, from what I am hearing, the original Euro folk bore zero resemblance to the Stanley Brothers, much less Flatt and Scruggs. For example, the banjo was introduced in 1860. Unless I have been subjected to limited exposure, the early stuff sounded more like talking.

Anyway, Tobin, thanks for the response and anything you might be able to do. I'm trying to work some of those elements into my music but feel limited in that bluegrass seems to have turned into a contest of how many notes can you cram into a line? Fast Bluegrass licks hover around 195 and top at over 200. Four beats to the 1/4 note is common. Alison Kraus seems to have it figured out -- she takes time to let the emotions play.
