"Land of Rest" on guitar
Looks like this tune might come from Annabel Morris Buchanan, a music worker with a checkered story - the White Top Folk Festival being one example (see David Whisnant's book "All That is Native and Fine" for more on this...)

Whiskey Before Breakfast - drop D

August 1, 2024 - playing through this tune in drop-d tuning, and loving this '60s Martin 000-28C that Mike McKee restructured to work with steel strings. (...AND getting ready to play for the Jonesborough Locally Grown Farm To Table dinner, where I'll be playing guitar to back up Emily and Willis...)

"Zátoka" / "Rock Salt and Nails" on mandola, first half of break
Переглядів 6504 місяці тому
Here's another mandola project, the first half of the break for the Czech bluegrass song "Zátoka," which is a retexting by Czech banjoist and artist Marko Čermák of the Utah Phillips song "Rock Salt and Nails." The placid liquidity of this song calls for (well, to me) a break that emphasizes stasis over dynamism, at least in terms of the notes played. In the opening phrases of the break I keep ...

"Trouble on my mind" - mandola
Переглядів 3476 місяців тому
This tune is one usually associated with fiddler John Salyer and played in an open A tuning. Adam Tanner slowed and lowered it for his "State of Grace" record, and I've loved it here, on instruments with C-strings, ever since.
"Rawhide" - Mandola - A Part
Переглядів 2117 місяців тому
The tune "Rawhide" give us a chance to practice the chord shapes that are at the heart of Bill Monroe's mandolin style, and which provide us ways to improvise and add to melodies, etc. The "three finger shapes" of the C, F, and G are a foundation, and then I use several "two-finger" chords to enrich the sound. These two-finger chords provide resting places in this section, with passing notes/fi...
"Rawhide" on Mandola - B part
Переглядів 437 місяців тому
In the bridge or B part of the tune "Rawhide," we have a series of changes moving around the circle of fifths, from E to A, D, and G, and from there back to the tonal home of the tune, C. Bill Monroe does a fun melodic thing for each of these chords, and I play these melodic bits out of the "three-finger chord" shapes. Start by practicing the chord changes with the plain three finger shapes, an...
