Notes: From the groundbreaking J. D. Crowe & The New South LP (die hard bluegrass fans will know this album simply by the record label's catalogue number: Rounder 0044). This is the only track where Ricky Skaggs sings lead. And although Tony Rice doesn't take a guitar break in the recording I always thought he should have. Therefore, I took it upon myself to correct this small oversight :-)
You can find the YouTube video of me playing this break here:

A more instructive video that slows the break down can be found on my personal webspace here: http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/sandbox/CryinHolySlowMo.wmv

Notes: I always thought the intro where Thile sings and percussively chops out the beat on the mandolin was cool but felt the guitarist should have been doing something there as well. It occurred to me one day that maybe some crosspicking would fit in there nicely so I started messing around with that idea and came up with this. I like the extra dynamic it gives to the otherwise sparse intro and it has become my standard crosspicking workout/exercise song -- great for keeping your right hand in shape -- and I thought I'd share the TAB for it.
Here's a link to me playing the song on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=212soGvTM5I
For the most part, the fretting hand does very little but hold some
chord fragments leaving the picking hand to do all the hard work. I
might add that "crosspicking" doesn't just mean the basic
"1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2" string picking pattern to me and the TAB reflects
that sentiment. Sometimes I just endlessly roll triplets
"1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3..." (which creates a nice, syncopated feel)
or intentionally hit the middle string instead of "crossing" over it
back to the low string if that's what feels right and keeps the timing
how I want it. |

Notes: Four variations on the A and B parts to Blackberry Blossom.and added a kickoff plus my current favorite BBB-specific tag.
The first time through the A part is pretty basic (as is the first B part) but the others versions are ... well ... not so basic. Anyway, I thought some might be interested to hear some different (in a few cases VERY different) interpretations of an well-worn, flatpicking standard.
Enjoy! |

Notes: This is my interpretation of Clarence White's crosspicked version of "Bury Me Beneath The Willow". This is an exact transcription of the first iteration of the tune from my YouTube video which can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQQ55wffHAY
The song is played out of the C shape and I like the way it sounds on my instrument capoed at the 3rd fret, hence the key being Eb. Of course, you can capo it anywhere you like (or not at all). I included the pickstrokes above the tab; Although Clarence was fond of the DDU style of crosspicking, I prefer the straight, alternate picking approach. One of the nice things about this arrangement is it sounds quite good whether you play it at a slow or fast tempo.
Enjoy!

Notes: Here is a fine old fiddle tune, probably a product of the times when pop music (from the teens/twenties) was influencing old time fiddling, as evidenced by the chord structure of the tune. It's more of a "rag" than a "blues", but... Presented here are three breaks, the first being the "basic" melody, although there are as many versions of the tune as there are people playing it. The second one is dropped an octave and departs from the melody somewhat. The third break is similar to the first, but has a few different licks in it. Some of the picking patterns in this tune are fairly difficult, which is why I rated it "expert". An excellent tune to jam & improvise upon. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

Notes: Here is a blazing Don Reno original guitar instrumental (one of the few pieces I know written specifically for bluegrass flatpicking guitar), "Tarnation". Unusual for bluegrass guitar, it is in the uncapoed key of F major, and also has a unique chord progression. Has some nice licks that can be used in other songs, and is really fun to play. At the speed it's normally played at, it's fairly difficult. The first break of this tune is almost note for note like Don's break, but the other two are mostly my variations. A good tune to improvise upon. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

Notes: Here is a medley of 5 songs done by the original Skillet Lickers, that wild, wacky & superb old time string band from Georgia that recorded in the 20's & 30's. The 5 songs are (in the same order as on the tab, which is no order in particular): Hell's Broke Loose In Georgia, Four Cent Cotton, Georgia Waggoner, Dixie, & The Darktown Strutters' Ball. Hell Broke Loose In Georgia & Four Cent Cotton are both simple, pentatonic songs which I absolutely love, but other's might find boring (go figure :P). The second is the SL's take on the old fiddle tune "[Tennessee] Waggoner". Dixie, of course is well known by all and makes a great bluegrass tune. The last is a pop song from the late teens, and was often done by swing groups (Django Reinhardt did it) and dance bands, and the Skillet Lickers did a nice, hot, advanced OT version of the tune. The guitar break is hot licks that contain the melody, not too hard (none of the songs here are very hard), and definitely not a swing version! Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

Add Rating/CommentDOWNLOAD: TABLEDIT
Notes: The classic fiddle tune, Turkey In The Straw, arranged for flatpicking guitar. There are 4 breaks. The first is the easiest, and is based loosely upon Don Reno's recording of the tune ("The Golden Guitar Of Don Reno). The second break is my standard break to the tune, and in the first part is a "perpetual motion" take on the tune consisting of 8th notes for the whole break. Also, for all breaks except the first, there is a slightly modified chord progression, which was "invented" by a fiddler friend & I and we like to play it this way; it can be easily modified to the standard version. The 3rd break is just another variation on the basic melody. The 4th break is the same as the 2nd, but features twin guitars. The 2nd part is not tooo hard, so give it a try with your flatpicking pal! Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |
