How To Spot A Bluegrass Player On Electric Guitar With Andy Wood
Rhett and Zach are joined on this Dipped In Tone by country and bluegrass aficionado Andy Wood. Wood grew up in Knoxville with Appalachian bluegrass musics shaping his view of the world, and even though he’s celebrated for his guitar playing, he reveals that he didn’t pick up an electric until he was 17.
Mandolin was his home turf, where lightning-quick alternate picking was the norm rather than a shredding strategy—there’s no “nuclear arms race of chops” in bluegrass, Wood reveals. The real key to playing fast? Simply learning songs. Because of the different approaches, Wood shares how to spot an electric guitar player who started on bluegrass. Wondering where to start with American roots music? Wood has you covered there, too.
When he finally got around to guitar, Wood studied the playing of Nashville session weapons like Brent Mason alongside players like John Petrucci. Now, Wood throws an annual four-day retreat for guitar players called the Woodshed Guitar Experience, where you can learn from some of music’s greatest modern players.
Plus, learn about how Andy catches great electric tones in the studio, and stayed tuned for his new solo record, Charisma, which dropped on August 9.

My american bro !!! Go Andy !!!
Great episode! 90's style country is coming back. Mr. wood is right, Zach Top is fantastic.
Andy is such a bad ass. Thank you guys for sharing this. I hope you’ll go to the woodshed, as it’d be great to hear about it here.
Bluegrass players have that right hand of doom! My arm aches whenever I spend time doing that down picking.
I'm here for the nerdy car talk on top of nerdy gear talk!!!
3:17 A Mythos amp?? ????
Love this! Y'all should get Tom Bukovac on
Best Episode!????
"The music back then had chord changes" …indeed Rhett. INDEED.
New camera, Zach ?
What a great hang! I’m a car guy too. Sooo many thangs to nerd out to.
One day i will make it out to a woodshed.
Nice episode,
But Suhr and PRS make way better built and sounding guitars,
There is no magic powers in vintage instruments ???? by the way 70s instruments are some of the worst instruments, and Ret you were not annoying! ????
That woodshed guitar camp sounds like a lot of fun….hope to make it one year!
Great episode fellas
Rhett let's see some pics of that Audi!
Great guest! I'm a big fan of Andy's.
Hmmm would we already be able to find some information online about the electric new announcement?
Let’s do this! Andy Wood is a force of nature!
