I'm Gonna pick me a bunch of wildflowers.
Pick me some flowers and give them to you.

He's Gonna pick a bunch of wildflowers.
Pick me some flowers and give them to you.

This bluegrass style features guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass, and a banjo soloist.
The guitar plays simple strummed chords and occasionally keeps a bass line going in the lower strings.
Panned to opposite sides, both the mandolin and fiddle play in a "chop" style with chords landing on beats 2 and 4.
The bass plays roots and fifths in half notes throughout. Rounding out the group is a ripping banjo soloist
playing a deluge of 8th note lines to keep the energy high. This song is in the key of G major and features major and minor chords.
Chord changes happen every 4 to 16 beats.This style in an 8th note variation of _BANK.

Love it. The band sounds great, and the vocals and lyrics are perfect for the song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Chugging whiskey...... that;s gonna hurt in the morning.


Cool tune. I thought it would be a redo of the DAC song but it's not. Good job.

Sometimes simple is best. You did a good 'un here.
My only sugg is to try a high harmony with it.

Well done Rob.

That mandolin chop rhythm is just where it should be in a bluegrass mix.

Those bluegrass "standard runs" on the guitar are perfect.

We lived and breathed bluegrass for decades and it's great to hear a song posted here that nails the feel of the genre.

Nice write and vocal too!

Sound hills enough to set up a still rather than buy the whisky Rob,
excellent ditty.
A very cool arrangement and - even more so MIX. The panning is spot on.


Cheers
