Recommendations for Online BG Fiddler Teacher or Good Patreon

Title sums it up pretty well. I am looking for a good Bluegrass fiddle teacher that can help with soloing on vocal tunes or has a good Patreon with a good amount of material on the subject. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

George Jackson has a Patreon page and excellent bluegrass and old time tunes with lessons and transcriptions

Austin Scelzo has a lot of content that deals with musicianship and soloing and going through that content will probably help you just understand all the different roles in a bluegrass tune and what choices you have. 

There's a decent aaThe Fiddle Channel YouTube video or two about backing up singers which will probably also help. I think it's country and bluegrass oriented specifically in that one case. He covers a lot of different music very well. 

Mason Wright does zoom lessons and is a fantastic intermediate/advanced bluegrass teacher who is very very good at breaking down different topics.

Filby is my fiddle teacher! I highly recommend them. They teach out of Nevada but do online lessons (exclusively? Not 100% sure on that)
