Trey Hensley Master Course
Build Real Bluegrass Technique, Tone, and Vocabulary — From the Ground Up
Â
Bluegrass guitar can feel overwhelming.
The speed. The vocabulary. The pressure to play clean and play fast.
And somehow still make it sound like music, not exercises.
This course is about fixing that.
The Trey Hensley Master Course is a deep, practical dive into bluegrass flatpicking — built around tone, timing, feel, and real musical confidence. Trey will walk you through the exact techniques and concepts he's leaned on for years of playing, touring, recording, and learning from the folks who shaped this music.
This isn’t about shortcuts or flashy tricks.
It’s about building a rock-solid right hand, understanding the fretboard, and learning how to play with authority, clarity, and purpose — whether you’re backing up a singer, taking a solo, or just pickin’ at the house.
If you want to play bluegrass guitar cleaner, faster, and with more intention, this course is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Course
A Strong Right-Hand Foundation
Everything in bluegrass starts with the right hand. You’ll learn how to pick with better tone, control, and relaxation — so your playing sounds clean and powerful without wearing yourself out.
Real Bluegrass Vocabulary You Can Use Anywhere
G-runs, walking bass lines, position-based licks, double stops, triplets, and open-string ideas — taught in musical context so they fit naturally into songs, jams, and solos.
Clear Fretboard Understanding (Without Overthinking It)
Learn how to use the CAGED system for bluegrass guitar so you can move ideas anywhere on the neck and stop feeling stuck in one position.
Speed, Tone & Clean Playing — Without Tension
Build picking speed, improve clarity, and play more relaxed by learning how to approach acoustic guitar the right way.
How to Sound Like YOU
This course isn’t about copying licks note-for-note. It’s about taking classic bluegrass ideas and shaping them into your own style — whether you’re playing rhythm, lead, or singing and playing at the same time.
