My guitar virtuoso brother is a big fan of Bluegrass. He says that these guys are all shredders and could slay some technical metal or rock. I guess that's probably true, but I respect them for different reasons. I just like the sound of Appalachian bluegrass inspired by the old Irish and Celtic music.
