Shady Grove

This is the last audio from last night as I managed to delete the rest while trying to save it!!!!!!

Shady Grove

I'm laid up in bed with a trapped nerve! so i've not been able to do much, and what's worse is that playing makes it hurt real bad!!!!
This is some audio played last week with the boys. It's out first go at Shady Grove in Dm.

Shady Grove

I've been without my recorder for a week or so, which is why I've not posted any audio recently. I've been working on a simple tab for Shady Grove , but instead of my version here's one I like from You tube.

Shady Grove ( A part )

Here's a my first OK(ish) attempt at the Shady Grove tab. The timings all wrong but the complicated hammer-on and pull-off patterns are tricky especially as they run across chord changes. But its interesting that the more you practice you start to find the hidden tricks in the tab which let the tune flow more easily. In this case it feels as if it's getting the timing and groove behind the 3rd string which is the key. Anyway it's still a bit shaky but I'm going to try and drop in the B part as well and see how it goes.

Shady Grove

Here's the guy from Zepp Music playing one of the umpteen versions of Shady Grove that he's done as a comparison for the various banjos he sells. He's tuned aEADE but the version which I've found tab for is in standard G tuning capoed at the second fret.
The tab is from the String Band website and there's loads of other tabs and mp3s for old-time banjo and fiddle tunes.
