[QUOTE=Medopalis]Which bands are the best in the genre? Could The Grateful Dead be counted as one?[/QUOTE]

The Grateful Dead is a Bluegrass influenced Rock Band.

Bluegrass doesn't usually use electric instruments nor drums. Though Progressive sometimes does.

My favorite Bluegrass band (I'm not an expert, so these may be known to some of you).

Old & In the Way
Bill Monroe
Flatt and Scruggs
Leftover Salmon
The String Cheese Incident
David Grisman
Vassar Clements
Tony Rice
Foggy Mountain Boys

EDIT: Oh snap! and of course Garcia & Grisman (tons of their stuff is Bluegrass).

If any of you want samples just say so.

I'm going on a spamming spree this afternoon.

:lol: to both of you.

Bluegrass is awesome

*contributed to conversation*

Would The Devil Went Down to Gerogia be Bluegrass?

Two years ago we had a winter drum show that was a Bluegrass show, and we did Dueling Banjos and DWDtG with xylophones, snares, tenors, basses, marimbas......and a banjo!

Yea, it's a Bluegrass song.

I've heard the Primus version only.

man i love bluegrass...i just got into it last year though by my guitar teacher. he was in a bluegrass duo that toured canada, the states, and a lot of europe (this was quite a while ago). i have kind of became his apprentice. its really hard for me though because speed isnt my strong point in guitar, and thats something you really need for bluegrass.

im thinking of taking The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and changing the fiddle parts to guitar (cuz i cant play fiddle) and then me and my friends perform it for our school.

Can your friend play banjo? Cause it would adapt about 50 times easier, than to guitar. But I'm sure you don't mind some hard work.

nah im looking for a challenge. sometimes i wake up at night and find myself playing Eruption on my acoustic. :cool:

ok i try to make a joke and everyone leaves...i realize my jokes stink but come on people!!

i listened to Sgt Peppers today...whats everyones favourite song off that? i had a hard time deciding but i really like A Day in the Life.

A Day In The Life, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends are tied 3 wayz I sayz.

Oh yeah, you're like a guitar teacher right? Coo, not alot of people can play eruption on an acoustic (or even period)

Fixing A Hole and Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite are my favorites off the albums.

When I'm 64.

"holy ****, i'm 64!". Most likely...

I like A Day in the Life too, but Sgt. Peppers is my favorite.

The whole of that album is awesome,
I like it better than the white album, and all of the Beatles albums as a matter o' fact.

The White Album is my favorite followed by Abbey Road.

Fav song off The White Album=Dear Prudence.

I love every song, I couldn't pick one. They're all so different and unique.

i've actually only heard two beatles albums (help! and sgt peppers) all the way through so i cant make an educated decision on my favourite.

Sinner! Listen the White Album now!!!!!!!!I order you to!!!!!

I don't care if you're not interested right now. It will be the biggest mistake of your life.

Sweet..Beatle talk =p. IMO Abbey Road>White Album>Revolver. Sgt. Pepper's got great songs (Especially Sgt. Pepper reprise, which is made amazing only by Ringo's beat and A Day in the Life), but I don't think Getting Better, or Fixing a Hole cut it for me. I love Good Morning, though alot of people don't.

The White Album was like a religious experience for me =p. I totally agree everyone should hear it at least once. Cry Baby Cry is one of my favourites, but like Woodstock said, there are too many good songs.

And Abbey Road is just a masterpiece. Every song on there is a great listen. Perfect album. =p

Sweet sweet Led Zeppelin. Its been awhile since I listend to these, but I really like I and II.

I love all the Beatles albums.

I love classic rock but my one complaint is that I find that classic rock radio stations are such a joke. If you knew nothing about classic rock except what you heard on the radio you would come to the conclusion that "Jailbreak" and "The Boys are Back in Town" are the only songs that Thin Lizzy ever did. Those station seem to do that with just about every band. It's always the same narrow playlist.

See, even you're not too cool for Led Zeppelin. But I know what your talking about when you listen to the early stuff when you haven't heard it in awhile.

Yea man, Zeppelin definently owns me. I just needed a break for awhile, what with all the commotion in the pit going on. Battle of Evermore. Brings back memories. I'm really diggin these headphones too, really brings out the reverb.

Try listening to:

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Dazed and Confused
Whole Lotta Love
Since I've Been Lovin You
Bring It On Home
Battle of Evermore
Stairway (yes it sounds cool :rolleyes: )
When The Levee Breaks
The Rain Song

With headphones on. First 4 I think sound the best.

anyone up for a chat

I'll chat.
