The songs are bluegrass classics with a basic structure on purpose. Without kickoffs, fills, and all the other wonderful distractions of a jam, we're free to focus on one skill at a time. For now, that's developing a comfortable feel for the most common chord families—one that lets us simply enjoy the ride.
Repetition isn't the goal—it's the path. Every pass through these songs gives our eyes, ears, and hands another chance to learn each other's language.
Don't worry about perfection. Just stay with the music long enough for something to begin feeling natural.
