FMB part 2

This version is so much better than the previous one I posted. Cool suits, cool hair, cool hats, plenty of Earl and no gurning!

FMF part 2

It's actually still the first break of Foggy Mountain but I've just practiced it a bit more and added in the opening tag.

FMF Part 1

Here's my go at Patrick's Foggy Mountain Fakedown.

Earl Scruggs - FMB

Here's the man himself, surrounded by some dodgy perms I must say!

FMB (Foggy Mountain Fakedown)

Here's Patrick's workshop for Foggy Mountain Fakedown.

Foggy Mountain Fakedown

After Cripple Creek and Dueling Banjo's this is one of those songs which is seen to define banjo music.

This is Patrick Costello's tab for a frailing/clawhammer version of Earl Scruggs' bluegrass tune.

Audio to follow.

I think we need to practice a bit more, as both tracks sound better at 110% speed.

Songs What We Have (almost) Learned

After posting a pretty lengthy song list for last nights jam we only got through six, and one of them wasn't even on the list. They sound pretty rough and ready, but its only our second practice together. Highlights are MC Clawhammer's Foggy Mountain, Cowboy Waltz and Irish Washerwoman.

Playlist for Monday's Jam - and a couple of tunes

MC Clawhammer's sent in a couple of songs Wildwood Flower and Foggy Mountain Breakdown. The kids obviously love it!


Banks of the Ohio in A

This is the first thing I've recorded using a capo to tune the banjo up into A. I also tuned up the fifth string to A as well, not sure if this what you are supposed to do but it sounded bad without... not that it's that great with.
