Why take Bluegrass Improvisation from this guy?
My passion is inspiring others to feel more confident in themselves and their ability to play an instrument. After years of performing and teaching 100,000 students all over the US. at workshops, out of my home, and through multiple schools, I was asked by many of my students to make a course of my teaching style. So here is the result.

interesting way of thinking about scales and their use

I have taken several Lesson Pros courses and all have been excellent - this is no exception. The theory is presented clearly with good use of a white board AND by demonstrations. The course is written for any instrument, but all demos are made using a mandolin. It makes for good ear training if you don't have one to see where he is fretting.

Better information on how to use the backing tracks. Maybe give us some play alongs before you set of free.

I just went to my local Bluegrass session and was able to play improvised solos in a variety of keys for the first time. Thank you! It's been years of struggle with every known book from Mel Bay and Homespun, but your course is what did it. This is how Bluegrass or fiddle in general should be taught from the start. Not tunes. I am very grateful.
