So, a few months ago, after screwing around for a couple of years with classical and jazz, I decided that bluegrass was going to be my thang. 1) Great tunes! 2) Everyone is doing it! 3) Great tunes!
I've been working on and learning about one tune a week, my improvisation is getting better as I practice over backing tracks and at jams.
My problem is that the structure and chord progressions of many of these tunes are so similar that when I stare at a song in my little book - I frequently cannot remember how it goes! I have to find an example on the 'tube and listen to the first .5 seconds. Then I can play the A, the B and the breaks just fine.
Anyone else have this problem? I assume it will resolve itself with time, but it's embarrassing to call out "Golden Slippers" and then start playing "Liberty."
I must be getting old.
Thanks!
