Wonderful job. I really enjoy the attention to detail. This is a podcast that is perfect for someone just starting to get into Bluegrass or for someone that’s into the history of Bluegrass.

Where has this podcast been all my life!? I had searched for bluegrass oriented podcast but for some reason I never found this one but I love it to the core! I’m currently listening to the episodes of the 40th anniversary of Tony Rice’s Church Street Blues LP. This particular LP is how I like Tony Rice’s music the best. It was my introduction to his music and is ever closest to my heart. Again this is an outstanding podcast. Love it!

I can’t believe I’m just finding this. What an awesome, professional, quality, entertaining podcast. This is filling a void in my world of bluegrass

I’m new to guitar and bluegrass and recently joined a weekly hour-and-a-half jam session, which always goes by way too fast and ends way too soon, it’s so much fun. This podcast — designed so well with three versions and two tempos for each tune — is a fantastic way to not only prepare myself to play better for the next session, but also to satisfy my hunger for playing with other musicians between my local jam sessions. I greatly appreciate Matt’s creativity, generosity, and friendliness in putting this podcast together and making it available free of charge. I've just shared it with all my new bluegrass friends and set up a monthly donation on Patreon, with hopes it enables Matt to add more songs. Thank you, Matt — you personify the friendly and welcoming community I’m so happy to have become a part of, and you have provided a way for me to develop my skill for playing along to it!
