They say the Colt Peacemaker ended the era of hostility in the Wild West. That’s not true–it was the bluegrass G chord.

Okay, Ben… you’ve made a believer of me. After more than 50 years of playing the traditional G shape, your discussion of the theory and the application has inspired me to teach my fingers to move in a different way. Those fingers are stubborn old cusses, but I think they have the ability to develop new muscle memory.

Hey Banjo Ben, this isn’t about this lesson, but Do you think you might could make a Guitar lesson on your Aggie War Hymn?

I didn’t know that about the " Bluegrass" G chord. Enjoyed the lesson especially the tips and tricks part. Thanks!

@BanjoBen Hey Ben! Great lesson. I know this is kind of a random question, but have you ever considered having Travis Alltop on the site for a lesson?
