Gone Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hey guys we have 4 or 5 of us that get together and play Bluegrass and just have a lot of fun. We are serious about learning the songs but are not so serious that we want to play gigs etc. Just a get together, play, learn and ENJOY for now please. Would be nice to see some Fiddle players, Dobro, Bass etc. too. Right now we have a Guitar player (Rhythm and lead), Banjo/Guitar player, Mandolin, Wash tub (Gut Bucket Bass) player and a Fiddle player sometimes. We also have another Guitar player (mostly leads) that joins sometimes. For now, we get together once per week and just "Pick-Away". Let me know if you are interested at all and what you play etc. PS: Singers are welcome who play an instrument but please understand that we play ONLY Bluegrass and want folks who are willing to practice the songs we know between jams. Reply here or send me a pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Actually we do NOT want to do gigs . I only know that in Bkk on Khaosarn rd on the parallel street there used to be a couple of Thais that used to play bluegrass just street musicians but were quite good. As far as I know we are the ONLY people in Thailand that play grass. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavefloater Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Imagine that -- bluegrass pickers in Pattaya. I used to be involved with bluegrass players back home, and I played a some bluegrass with them (just rhythm guitar). I even bought a mandolin and still have that back home. I almost brought it with me last time I came back but decided to tote along a 1979 Gibson SG instead (which I've since sold). You got me thinking about some of my favourite bluegrass players, besides his majesty, Bill Monroe, and I realized that I have to download some Seldom Scene -- they're great.

Seldom Scene are my all time favourite band. Yeah those Bluegrass folk are some bad azz people. PS: They sell Fiddles here in Pattaya if anyone knows how to play one but doesn't have one here.

Very cool !! If you guys can play as well as Seldom Scene, I definitely want to drop by and listen in. Actually, regardless of how well you play, I'd like to drop by and get inspired.

I don't mean to sound snobby or rude but right now we are not set up for spectators where we rehearse. The post is actually looking for fellow pickers to join in. If one day (after thousands of moons of practice) we ever did a charity gig or something I would sure let it be known. I appreciate your Love for grass and they do sell Mandolins here. lol. PS: If we could play 1/4 as good as the Seldom Scene we could probably afford to BUY a Fiddle player 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Believe it or not, even after 50 years even Doc needed practice. Ok that's a lie but the point is that we ALL need practice and that's what the intention of our jams are so please folks if you play/pick, let us know.

timmyp Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I live in Bangkok and play bluegrass and old-time. I'd love to get together with anyone for some fiddle tunes or to sing any of the standards. Definitely PM me if you or any players are headed up this way.

Thanks but we are all individuals who live in Pattaya and the chances of us all traveling to Bangkok on the same day with our instruments are slim to none but thanks for the offer. I did meet a few pickers when I lived in Bkk years ago from an add I posted on Craigslist though. You might try it too and the same folk might see it. I don't have any numbers sorry. We are still looking for pickers every Wednesday guys so come on and give it a go !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely PM me if you or any players are headed up this way. Our fiddle player jams at a bar in Bangkok from time to time. We were talking about accompanying him on his next trip. Not sure when it will be, but I'll check on Wednesday. Do you play the fiddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyp Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I play guitar and banjo. Would love to play with a fiddle player, definitely have him contact me next time he comes this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Either either, It's always good to know more pickers and Like Craig says, who knows, we could end up in Bkk one day. You are always welcome here if you ever come to Pattaya just pm one of us mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blugrasspikin Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I am a bluegrass banjo player for over 30years. I will be visiting Thailand in January 2014 and bringing my banjo. I always travel with my banjo and would like to meet and play with other musicians while I'm visiting. I'm open to all types of music and love learning. Any ideas of where I might find other musicians to pick with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Funny you should ask that I am also a Banjo picker. I have sent you a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know how he hits all those notes with those claws he wears? Oh yeah, he plays claw-hammer style lol. But seriously "Bluegrass Picken", you would enjoy jamming with these guys, they are great. I did for awhile but am out of commission for awhile (although I'm ready for short stints again guys but just on guitar as I can't haul my bucket around on the bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
