      Thanks for posting this tune Mike.
      Is there any “bluesey” licks or tricks you think you could add to this great transcription..?
      Cheers.

        Yes I can do an intermediate level lesson of this in the future and add some more advanced licks.

        Thanks for the request. Keep picking.

        I would try more of an off-beat chop if you want a straight ahead bluegrass feel.

        Otherwise try something a little funkier and syncopated.

        A rhythm like: 1 (and) 2 and (3) and 4 and

        Don’t play the count in the parenthesis and you’ll get a cool syncopated rhythm.

        Ultimately it’s personal preference, try a bunch of stuff along with the practice tracks and see what you like.

        If you have more questions let me know.

        – Mike
