Bluegrass mandolin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bluegrass mandolin Bluegrass mandolin is a style of mandolin playing most commonly heard in bluegrass bands. ==History==
At the beginning of the twentieth century, mandolin orchestras were popular throughout North America.〔Tottle, Jack, ''Bluegrass Mandolin'', Oak Publications, New York, 1975〕 Large numbers of mandolins were sold, particularly by the Gibson Guitar Company, which manufactured and promoted a new type of flat-backed mandolin. After a time, the mandolin orchestra craze died out. In the southern United States, they began to be used in the performance of traditional mountain folk music.〔Statman, Andrew, ''Teach Yourself Bluegrass Mandolin'', Amsco Music Publishing Company, New York, 1978〕 At the end of the 1930s, a new musical genre which combined Scottish and Irish fiddle tunes, blues and African American banjo with traditional American songs began to develop. Bill Monroe, a Kentucky fiddler and mandolin player, was the first to bring all of the elements of this new genre together. Monroe developed a distinctive style of mandolin playing which emphasized strong syncopation and chording, and played in keys, such as E and B, seldom used by old time and country musicians. He and his band, the Blue Grass Boys, played at the Grand Old Opry in late 1939 to popular acclaim,〔 and other bands began to incorporate the new "bluegrass" music into their repertoires.〔 Mandolin players in these bands took elements of Monroe's style and then added their own flavor.〔Burns, Jethro and Eidson, Kenny, ''Jethro Burns, Mandolin Player'', Mel Bay Publications, 1976〕
