Description

Steve Nall (Nully), Collings' Head of Production, returns to the podcast to chat about tonewoods. When Nully was originally on the podcast in July we touched on this and I thought it would make for a great episode in its own right, as it's something lots of us have questions about.We start with a look at the woods typically used in bluegrass guitars, why they're chosen and what the different bits of the instrument contribute to the sound of a guitar. We then look at alternative types of wood, what happens to wood as it ages and how wood is treated in an attempt to replicate the sound of vintage guitars.We also look at alternative sources of wood, from 'sinker' logs to reclaimed wood, and why this is so important for the future of guitar making.It's always a pleasure chatting to Nully and I found this conversation really interesting - I hope you do too!For more info check out the Collings Guitars website or follow Collings Guitars on InstagramIf you want to check out the guitars made with reclaimed wood Nully mentioned, head to Collings Facebook page for some great photos of them.If you missed the original interview I did with Nully, you'll find a link on the Bluegrass Jam Along website, as well as links to all the other interview episodes on the podcast.Happy picking.Matt===- Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates: Instagram Facebook - Review us on Apple Podcasts

The podcast for anyone and everyone who plays bluegrass. Every week we feature a different fiddle tune and give you three brand new backing tracks: Backup 4 times through (you play the tune or improvise breaks), Tune 4 times through (you play backup) and ‘Jam Along’ (4 complete run throughs, alternating backup and tune). They work with any instrument - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass, banjo…even if you’re a bluegrass cellist (I have actually met one!). For more info and chord charts, visit https://bluegrassjamalong.com. Hope you find these tracks useful (and thanks for listening!) - Matt
