I love when the two worlds of old-timey melodies and grassy presentation come together! I was leading our men’s group in singing a few weeks ago and we sang this song. I needed an intro and I just started playing the verse like you hear on the guitar. Then, I couldn’t get it out of my mind! Have fun with this one!
New bluegrass sub-category. Edgeeee contemporary gospel bluegrass. Your creativity amazes me.
Ooh, ooh banjo tab!!
Probably coming in next week’s lesson…
You gonna learn this one, buddy? I’d love to hear you play it.
Me? Sure, but it’s a little back on my list
Okay, I just figured that at your current rate of 83 songs per day you could have it down by 4PM.
Our time or yours?
Too late now for one.
Love the high-drive on this song. We’ve been practicing all summer and need to start posting some videos! Keep pickin’ !!
I’ve been busy and missed this arrival, but WOW! I love the feel. I love the arrangement. I didn’t want it to end… I was wondering if you were going to end with a verse with driving all the way through and then it quit… I did love the ending though, so thumbs up!
Nice looking/sounding Hooper! What is that body shape? Gibsonish 14 fret slope? Looks like a wide lower bout? Sounds like it is 'hog bodied? Whatever it is, it’s pretty sweet! Congratulations!
Thanks man, for all the kind words! It’s a copy of a pre-war J35 that he got his hands on. I am LOVING it…I just love that dry punch, and it plays nice too. Big fat neck which I normally don’t like so much but do on this one…just feels “right.”
Good stuff!
Man I was following on the background rythym and gen chords for the verse but you lost me on the chorus. I have no idea what chords are playing. Is there a tab I’m missing or a chord sheet?
Working on that guitar part, too. I’ve committed it all to memory, now getting the timing up. Probably 75% speed at the moment. The jump to 100% is daunting, but I’m still improving with each play.
John! What’s up man? Good to see you again!
There are chords above the measures in the pdf and tef tabs. Also, I have a video in the lesson titled “Rhythm & Chords” that you should check out.
Just got around to learning this, it’s so totally my style with all the crosspicking and cool syncopated licks! Now just to get it up to speed.
This arrangement is like butter!!! Banjo, you’ve done it again!
