Bluegrass Mando Question

[Captain Howdt]

I need some help, I have been playing mandolin for a while, I know all the chords, memorized the scales, getting ok on improv, however it just does not sound bluegrassy enough to me. Is there somewhere where I can pick up generic or important bluegrass licks? Any help would be appreciated

The are books and videos of hot licks for bluegrass mandolin, but bluegrass - or any music - is based on songs. Learn the songs - as you learn them, you will probably start playing things that sound like what you want, and you will start developing some of the licks you need.
