Bluegrass Edit Meaning

1.

An American art form from the Appalachian Mountains. Lightning fast tempos make it technically difficult to play yet it is easy to listen to. Similar to jazz, improvisation is a key component. Bluegrass has so much rhythm there's no need for drums. Vocal harmonies are clearly defined like family music.

2.

An old fashioned style of country music dating from the late 1930s pioneered by Bill Monroe (who invented the name) and Roy Acuff. While some people believe it to be the traditional music of the Appalachian mountains, it's basically what country music was like before influences from jazz, blues, and popcame in. Most popular in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennesseeand Virginia. In bluegrass the guitar fiddle and banjo are the most important instruments and there is no drumming nor percussion. It has had a small but devoted following outside of the South for years, and despite being associated with toothless inbredhicks to some is a genre very highly respected by musicians - not just country musicians but rock and even jazz musicians. Often used in films and TV set in the South, in the last few years it has undergone a massive revival in popularity worldwide because of the film "O Brother Where Art Thou".

Bluegrass isn't just played by Southerners any more - although it's still rare to find an African-American bluegrass musician.

This music is usually related to the deep southerns. It can be refered to "twangy" because of the banjos and other musical instruments. It is similar to country music but bluegrass usually are based upon religion, freedom, and the older days. Some songs are the artist just talking/singing or they have several musical instruments such as a banjo, violin, and more banjos. The songs almost never have a negative message and are created for easy listening. Bluegrass is a genre of music that is REALLY hard to sing or play but sounds excellent when done correctly.

That concert by Ralph Stanley was like none other, that guy has the skills and talent to be considered number one.

What are you talking about, he IS a living legend for bluegrass music.
