Mandolin
of violin making techniques and guitar making production. Flat and round backed mandolins Two of the most common carved top flat-backed mandolins are the F-style, which has a scroll near the neck, and points on the sides; and the A-style, which is round or pear shaped and has no points. These styles can also have either f-shaped soundholes, like the violin family, or an oval sound hole under the strings. Naturally there is much variation among makers, and styles other than these exist as well, but these are the most common. The F-hole, F-style mandolins are considered the most typical and traditional for bluegrass, while A-style with oval hole is more for Irish music. Larger versions of the mandolin are the mandola (a fifth below the mandolin, as the viola is
Bluegrass band
Bluegrass band A bluegrass band is a musical ensemble that specializes in playing bluegrass music. Normally a bluegrass band will have a fiddle player and a guitar player. Many bluegrass bands will also have a banjo player. See also: Bill Monroe, Doc Watson
Fiddle and violin
though the bowss used differ. The term "fiddle" is used to describe a violin when played in folk music or sometimes Jazz. One slight difference between fiddle and violin occurs in American (e.g., bluegrass and American old-time music) fiddling: the bridge is shaved down so that it is essentially flat. This makes it easier to play double stops.
Violinist
plays the violin. The terms fiddler or fiddle player are also used. In classical music the "fiddle" terms are usually somewhat informal or jokey: they are more standard expressions in folk music. In between there are nuances of meaning and usage which are difficult to formalize. Composer-violinists were common in the Baroque era - Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli and Pietro Locatelli all played the violin. In the early 19th century, Niccolo Paganini did much to expand the instrument's technique. Other notable 19th century violinists include Joseph Joachim (who was friends with Johannes Brahms), Leopold Auer (who taught many famous violinists of following generations), Pablo de Sarasate and Eugene Ysaye. Among significant later players are: Joshua Bell Willi Boskovsky Sarah Chang Stephanie Chase Vassar Clements (Bluegrass, Country, Jazz) Mischa Elman Carl Flesch
Dobro
guitar. Dobro is a trade name, originally used by the Dopyera brothers and now owned by Gibson Musical Instruments. The instrument is sometimes referred to as a resonator guitar, resophonic guitar, or Hawaiian guitar. However, dobro remains the most common name in use. The dobro was introduced to bluegrass music by Josh Graves, who played with Flatt and Scruggs, in the mid-1950s. Other notable bluegrass players include Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas, and Rob Ickes. It was used in older country music, notably by "Brother Oswald" of Roy Acuff's band, but has been largely supplanted by the pedal steel guitar.
Bluegrass
Bluegrass Bluegrass has three principal meanings, the second two both deriving from the first listed. Bluegrass is a genus of grasses, Poa. Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music. The Bluegrass region is an area of Kentucky and Ohio states, USA. This is a disambiguation page, that is, one that just points to other pages that might otherwise have the same name. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix that link to point to the appropriate specific page.
Tom Verlaine
the guitarist for Television, the first non-Country Blues or BlueGrass band to play at CBGB, which opened the venue for new wave acts such as Blondie, and Talking Heads and the entire NYC new wave and punk music scene. Guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd brought rock music to a new level with their guitar playing and lyrical content. The album, Marquee Moon (by Television) is often recommended for anybody who is interested in the serious study of guitar, as is the live album, 'The Blow Up'. Other important guitar innovators worthy of serious study: Robert Smith Eddie Van Halen Dave Navarro Daniel Ash
American Beauty (album)
by the Grateful Dead, released in November of 1970 (see 1970 in music). The cover can also read American Reality. The mostly-acoustic album is beloved by fans as perhaps the highest-quality studio recording by the band (along with Workingman's Dead), who are known primarily for their live shows. "Truckin'"/"Ripple" was released as a single. American Beauty peaked at #30 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart (North America), while the single, "Truckin'" peaked at #64 on the Pop Singles chart. American Beauty was the second album released in 1970, after Workingman's Dead. Both albums were extremely innovative at the time for their fusion of bluegrass, rock and roll, folk music and, especially, country music. Like Workingman's Dead, the album did not include any guitar solos from Jerry Garcia. The band's influences can be
