Dixie Hoedown

I’m fairly new to the site so I’d like to say hello to all. My question is: How does Ben select his next mandolin lesson? Do we vote or suggest tunes? If we suggest tunes, I would like to see tabs and video for Dixie Hoedown.

Does any one know of a good mandolin version of Dixie hoedown on you tube or elsewhere? I bet Ben could give us some neat licks for this song in an intermediate verson - tabs and video Key of G.

Thanks for any help,

Sometimes Ben surveys the members for input when he chooses his next lesson and sometimes he just surprises us, but I think he’ll always listen to suggestions.

Ex Fiddler, I’m new to the site as well (just registered a couple days ago). You can go to bluegrassbooksonline.com & at the top, click on free lessons, scroll down to “Dixie Hoedown” & you will be able to click on different variations & listen as well as print out tab for guitar or mandolin. I would consider it an intermediate version. Hope that helps. Also when I registered, I saw where Ben’s father was sick. I will be praying for him & his family & hope things go well. God Bless, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff. I will take a look at your site.

Has anyone heard from Ben? How is his family doing? He has been in my thoughts and prayers as well,
