That's like saying Jazz and Blues are the same

They aren't.

Bluegrass is far more technical than country, and usually much better.

Take Townes Van Zandt's White Freightliner Blues as a prime example. Just compare his original recording to Molly Tuttle's bluegrass version...there is no comparison. Molly just crushes it!
