I’m finally getting around to editing some footage that Larry Labeck and I shot at Sugar Maple Festival in Madison, WI last summer.

Whiskey Before Breakfast

Whiskey Before Breakfast is a must know tune regardless of what instrument you play. While some pickers play it in standard D position with no capo, I prefer the sound of it in the C position with the capo at the second fret.

Key of D, Capo 2nd Fret

Come Hither to go Yonder

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
