Doug,

Some nice pick'n going on here! Try just a smidgen less reverb on your vox with this vibe of song as well--not sure, but I think it has a live sound with mix you have--which may be what you want too. Without a chorus, a short bridge might be cool as well, though I'm not sure if many Bluegrass songs use a bridge--many are chorus driven for sure. Experimentation is a great teacher, all of us would love to upgrade our equipment for sure which can always improve our productions. But like Kevin said above, there are some good videos out there for free to watch for assistance. Enjoyed your post!
