Some cases, yeah... But just increasing tempo doesn't make
it bluegrass either. :-)

Yep! And learning didn't voicings. Depending on the song, I'll
make a C chord and add the third fret top and bottom strings.
Gives it 3 full octaves...

And don't be scared to use a capo. It's not just for playing
some keys easier, but for getting different sounds.

Dpending on the song, I'll play something in F normally,
or maybe capo first fret and play an E.

I don't normally capo third fret and play a D, but I will
capo fifth fret and play a C. :-)
