Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Bluegrass (Scruggs) Songs

My version of this Bela tune, with my band, Longway. Uses the D tuners out of D tuning.

Here is a short and interesting section of one of Bill Emerson's breaks to Little Maggie on the Jimmy Martin album "Big Country Instrumentals"

Used Earl's arrangement as the outline and came up with this..

Banjo - Paul Allen

Guitar - Clive Warner

Bass-Rod - Emmerson

This song is usually done with single notes. I put my own twist on it by adding some rolls

Hands and fingers felt pretty good today so I gave this a try..Not the way Earl played it, but this is the way I learned to play it years ago before tab..Not as fast as it should be played, but that's as fast as I can play now..

Tune I wrote from musical ideas I learned while practicing!

Jimmy with Cliff Waldron circa 1972

Second attempt at posting some stuff. Still trying to (re)get the hang of picks, recorder, etc. After listening to this and the last one, I downgraded myself from purty good to novice. But I have to say, I'm having a blast making music for the 1st time in many years. There are some "ouch" moments in these recordings, but I left them as a gauge to check my progress down the road. As a sidenote, I just noticed many head strikes with the thumb pick. Sandpaper, or try to adjust my wrist angle? Anyway, enjoy, and feel free to add constructive criticism.
