Well shoot, I mean, it's a different style of music, so I don't assume that one thing will work for everything. Seems to me that bluegrass rhythm styles work real well for bluegrass bands, but not necessarily very well for anything else, though that is not meant to be a blanket statement. I reckon it could be compared to trying to speak two languages at once. It can get awkward. Though I was at an all-night jam session once that included a trombone player. And, there used to be a young guy that came to the Station Inn and played killer saxophone solos to Monroe tunes. He melted "Big Mon" down.
