Hi. I just built my first four string, and found that it was very well suited for underlying chord work, unlike (in my own opinion don't get mad) a fretless three string (or at least mine) I thought the sound was such that I would try to cover some simple bluegrass/country songs. I like them, but I don't know many that use CBG acceptable chords (I IV V progressions) I mean like Folsom prison blues, which I learned along with Man of Constant Sorrow. I was just wondering what covers do you guys do (not necessarily I IV V, I'm more versatile than that I think) maybe point me in a general area.

Hello Ted,
Well, as a Blues player, I play a lot of 3 chord progressions. Sometimes getting a little more jazzy and adding passing chords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZaXYANbYK0 It all comes down to the tuning you decide on and exploring the fingerboard to understand all the chord inversions up and down the neck that are at your disposal. I play a lot in Open G (Dgbd). Using movable chords there is no limit to what you can do. I used a study of musical theory to better understand how to proceed. You might enjoy this book: http://www.amazon.com/Edlys-Music-Theory-Practical-People/dp/096616... Enjoy.
