Come Hither to go Yonder is a classic Bill Monroe composition. According to Bill the original album title was misprinted as Go Hither to go Yonder. Regardless of what you call this tune it’s an excellent example of Monroe’s later work.

I try to keep the song as Scruggsy as possible but there is no getting around the melodic run needed to pull off the signature lick.

Key of A, Capo 2nd Fret

My 1st video shot in HD using a Canon XHA1s. The microphone used was an Audio Technica AT4033.

My take on Salt Creek complete with Bela-isms. The idea of the backup is to show what can be done with one or two fingers and some standard rolls.

Train 45 is the ultimate banjo breakdown. This song is usually played in excess of 170 bpm. It’s presented here at a moderate 140 bpm including three breaks and two backup examples. Tab is available, including backup, at seanray.com
