This is the first fiddle tune to write after moving to Texas! I named it after my oldest, Charlie Belle, because the melody came to me after hanging out with her. I love playing out of the D position on guitar!
Mandolin lesson will come next week! Also @Michael_Mark and I chatted today about some kind of contest idea with this tune for best banjo break 
Just a heads up! 
Wow, Ben. That is beautiful. That tune made me long for spring time. And it’s pretty exciting to see new content now coming out of Texas.
Thanks! It’s exciting for me to create here! I’m definitely feeling more inspired and excited for the future!
Sounds beautiful! A welcome addition to the bag of pipe tunes!
This is my new favorite song. I love that B part.
Really nice work! Beautiful, catchy melody… and now Charlie Belle won’t feel left out. Been over a year since you wrote Ellie’s Hornpipe.

He got a bicycle for his birthday, he’s good.
Man, I don’t know what it is but I just really like Hornpipes! Excitedly awaitin’ next week’s Mando Lesson - from the Lone Star State!
This one is next on my list to learn! Me (age 16) and 2 of my sisters (ages 13 and 15 I think 
) are really enjoying your site, Banjo Ben. I’m learning guitar, one of my sisters is learning mandolin, and one of my other sisters is learning banjo. Thanks for helping us learn!

Hi @FellKidPickers Jonathan, Rebekah & Makayla 
to @BanjoBen 's Forum. Hope you guy’s have fun learning.
I love this melody! The A part works well for single-string banjo. Add two to each tabbed note on the 1st string and you can play the guitar tab on banjo. For example, in measure 56, play 5 - 4- 2 on 1st string instead of 3 - 2 - 0 and end the measure with barred A chord.
There are also melodic possibilities, of course!
How do you make that Bmin chord?
Take the A minor chord, play it with your last 3 fingers, then move it up two frets and barre with your index behind it…it takes some getting used to!
Ok, I’ll try that once. Thanks!
Tried it. Yes it does take getting used to!
