Peartree (G 75 bpm) - Performance
This week we're jamming along to the classic tune Peartree. This is a performance track, rather than a backing track. It's me playing both tune and backup so you've got a reference to listen to if you're new to the tune, or just want to be able to listen a few times to the whole thing.
Don't forget to check out the other three episodes when you're done and jam along!

Customer Reviews
An Outstanding Find
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!
Great way to get involved.
I’ve just started with Bryan Sutton, and come from playing bass in a blues/rock background. (I’ve played in dozens of bands, since 1964). Therefore, I’m not very familiar with the bluegrass tunes; and can’t thank you enough for starting this podcast, which presents those songs for us to familiarize ourselves with.
Outstanding!
Such a great way to develop your playing. Thank you!!!
