Another element that makes it sounds Bluesier is used Flat at 7th. That play your G Major scale in count to the 7th note,
(Demo)
That is the 7th note.
(Demo)
If I Flat that,
(Demo)
That is the note. So, including some notes like that to and make it sound Bluesier and therefore, more in the pocket as far as the idioms concern. Maybe I should also tell a little bit.
The guy, kind of got developed this music. He was really steep in all time Mountain Music, which was really a tradition that was carried over from the Anglo-Celtic Roots by immigrants and then, he grew up in that traditional Senegal Time Fiddle Music and Church Music. But then, also heard the influences of Blues, so in his Mandolin playing if you listen to it.
You will hear both of those traditions there and some of the things that I am talking about here with the Blues come from Bill Monroe’s Fusion of those elements in coming up with a unique kind of hybrid string music that actually, nobody really ever heard until at least into there early 40s. When he was really developing his sound.
Another thing that makes this sounds Bluegrass is used of double stops,
(Demo)
And we talked about that earlier, it is just a note and a harmony note above or below it. So, let me play on and on for you trying to incorporate some of this elements.
(Demo)
And that is a slightly Old Bluesier sounding riff,
(Demo)
Any how, the way I played it for you is going to be pretty closer the way I tab it out for you and you will be able to get the essence of what I am trying to put across by listening to this and also, checking out the Tablature.
