  • Accompanying fiddle tunes with guitar

    From ard36758@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 17 05:55:33 2018
    Hi, I'm a beginner guitar player (by beginner I mean I hardly know anything). I want to learn how to play rhythm guitar for my two little girls. They play bluegrass fiddle tunes and are quite good for their ages. Where do I start?

    I suggest that you get at least a few lessons from a live instructor.
    Once you have some foundational technique you're better equipped to
    learn on your one. Best of all would be to continue your lessons for as
    long as you have time and motivation.

    Yep, some (real ) lessons and practice to get slightly competent. Then a
    few years more practice to get good.

    Possibly (much) longer for fiddle which can sound painfully awful in the
    hands of less than average player. Even average players can not be that
    great on a bad day.

    Not a case of "yesterday I couldn't even spell brain-surgeon and now I
    is one".
