Kentucky Mandolin

November 17th, 2006

Here is an example of how I play Bill Monroe’s tune Kentucky Mandolin. I play it different than most, wrong by some accounts, but for the most part it’s pretty close to the original recording. The main difference is that instead of the unison “D” note in the A part I play a “C” and an “F” for a bluer sound.

I’ve broken the film up into five sections. The first is the entire tune and the following four clips are close-ups of the right and left hands for the A and B parts.

The Wreck Of Old 97 (fast)
The Wreck Of Old 97 (slow)
This is a simple arrangement of a classic tune in the key of D.
You could play it with the capo way up there on the seventh fret if your loyal to the key of G, or you could retune your banjo to open D tuning and play it that way, but for this arrangement I play it in standard open G tuning with the fifth string capoed at the seventh fret.

Sean’s Breakdown(fast)
Sean’s Breakdown(slow)
This is a breakdown I assembled out of some familiar licks.
Standard G tuning.

Django Run(fast)
Django Run(slow)
Django Reinhardt inspired run I learned from Greg Cahill.
A One-string lick played entirely on the first string using all three fingers to execute the triplet feel.
