Here is the theme song from the Beverly Hillbillies “The Ballad of Jed Clampett”.
This song tends to have a love-hate relationship with most banjo players but that doesn’t diminish its genius. Classic Earl, deceptively simple yet brilliant.
The tune is played out of the G position with the capo at the second fret (key of A).
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.

I posted my first videos on YouTube to see how the process was set up.
If I can get my hands on a camera I will be posting new material soon.
If you ever get sick of playing in G give Cm a try.

After painting yourself into a corner this lick will either get you back out or completely bury you.
