So everyone says that in order to get better you have to play with others. This is all fine and dandy when I joined in the bluegrass jams groups and one could just sit in back and vamp chord progressions since everything was in the key of G and just cappoed where needed.
So now I am starting in on this clawhammer old-time thing and people are saying the same thing...play with others. There is a group locally that gets together once every couple of weeks and they pick a tuning for the evening. This is all fine and dandy, but how is anyone supposed to sit and back and just vamp chords in all of these odd tunings?? Does everyone remember how to form chords in all of these other tunings?
