Post 9: Conclusion

Although Bluegrass and Psychedelic music are two very different entities in their instrumentation, origin, style, etc.; they both have similarities when it comes to stylistic aspects of the cultures. Both were influenced by Jazz and Blues music which contributes a lot to their style, mainly to their rhythmic elements and their tempos, as well as to the use of improvisation and solos. Even though Bluegrass has more of a set structure and Psychedelic music is more free-form, both use some of the same stylistic techniques to perform their purpose, especially when it comes to solos or improvisation. While both of these music cultures are very different it is evident that they both have influences from Jazz and Blues and that they are both American styles of music.
