We answer some Questions from the Audience
This is the second part of our interview with the legendary bluegrass bassist, Missy Raines. Filmed in Nashville, Missy and I discuss all things bluegrass bass and answer questions on topics from playing the perfect two-feel bass line to learning music by ear. Missy draws on her vast experience as a first-call bassist and experienced educator to help those looking to perfect their bluegrass bass playing.
