This is such a cool tune! I learned it yesterday and decided to play with the slower of the two tracks cuz I liked the swingier more bluesy feel

Cool Doggies! 
@Dragonslayer! 
Selfishly, I was hoping for more blues licks but recognize that this is a Rock jam.
Man, I wish I could play thatā¦ and just dirty it up.
Gunnar, did you ever check out that Greensky Bluegrass āLiving Overā tune? I so like the Dobro in that songā¦ Epic!

Great picking and smooth sliding Gunnar! Iām wondering why you and other dobroists (is that a word?) kinda turn over your left hand in between slides. Is it to loosen your wrist?

Thanks yāall!
I donāt think so, I know you had recommended some songs but I was in poor internet and forgot
Idk actually, Iām glad to hear that other dobroists do it lol. I guess the only way to find out is for you to become one and tell me!

I just really appreciate the Dobro in this song and the sounds of itā¦ plus the song is absolutely Epic to me.
Proud these guys are from my home state of Michigan - Billy Strings too .
Even as it isnāt traditional Bluegrass, I think you are open-minded (dare I say, adventurous) to appreciate - well, that is my intent, anywayā¦

Plus, I find the video entertaining too.
Extra credit if you can get that opening lick down (the one that starts at 0:36) and postā¦ Even just that would inspire!
Enjoyā¦ especially the Dobro solo that starts a 4:38!

This sounds sooooo good at this tempo. Part of me really wants to do this (not the part that controls my wallet). I just saw a (donate what you can) live FaceBook lesson for Ashokan Farewell given by Ivan Rossenburg. It maybe just about over now but seems to be a recurring thing and good quality.

Admittedly, the words are quirky. I have seen this similarly quirky style on many of their tunes.
Like another song of theirs, āMerely Avoidingā (about an eventual break-up that is sensed before the end):
These answers donāt elude me, Iām merely avoiding what I feared all along that they could beā¦
Regarding the video song, āLiving Overā, I find it clever the way the 3 verses are sung like this:
1st Verse: Maybe weāre dying or maybe weāre living, over and over - again
2nd Verse: Maybe weāre dying or maybe weāre living, over and overā¦ and over and over (2x) - again
3rd Verse (after solo section): Maybe weāre dying or maybe weāre living, over and overā¦ and over and overā¦ and over and over (3x) - again
