Here it is after many moons of practice and sweat and sore fingers ha ha ha No I have known this one for sometime but just recorded it and it well so here it is .
Sailors hornpipe
Good job Ken! Clean and good timing. I just broke out the guitar and played backup rhythm with you.
Thanks it iis an old tune for sure but I enjoy playing that one.
I always liked that tune but never bothered to learn it (I’m lazy that way). However, your very nice rendition of it made me write it out with a few bluesy additions.
I tend to play these AABB tunes straight the first time through each section with some changes the second time. This is what I came up with.
By the way, I wrote it out in G major (meant to be capoed on the 2nd fret so that it sounds in A major)
Sailor’s Hornpipe

Thanks you just gave me something to learn. Beside food I think something to learn is a good gift. do I like it . you bet it sounds very good . now on to learning it . http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/217.gif
I’ve been playing it on mandolin lately (in A as well). It’s a fun little tune. I wonder if I enjoy it more because it is forever linked in my mind to a cartoon?
an old actor gone by now but his name was Dane Clark and he had a miniseries on tv of course it was in black and white but me and dad would not miss that show and him and Popeye had about the same music . it is a tune to be remembered that is for sure . Can’t remember the name of his show . Dane Clark played in “Back from the dead” a prelude to Cape fear similar in plot they say. He had a tv show on at 10 pm I think it was Fridays . late fifties The beer commercial I remember now had that tune to it, Ballentine ale . Wow that had to be at least a hundred years ago LOL.
Well Ken I guess it’s official. Your the patriarch of the forum!

…the three ring Ballantine Beer.
Yes three ring ale . Dane Clark was 85 when he died . Am almost positive the commercial was local in Dayton Ohio but they used Sailor’s hornpipe .
It’s not what I was looking for, but this is pretty entertaining:

You did not mind commercials so much back then as they were entertaining sometimes better than the show . Thanks for the post I enjoyed it and played it twice http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/99.gif
I mean how much better could the product be with Purity Body and flavor ,wow! just makes me want to go buy a ballantine ale and I don’t drink LOL .
The more I listen to the way Drguitar arranged it I am going to get in to learning it that way as soon as I finish “Oh little town of Bethlehem” I will get started on it . Another approach and one I like real well . thank you fo another lesson it will be a fun one to learn it that way. http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/99.gif
I looked back over my arrangement and found a few clumsy fingerings (in measures 11 through 13) that I corrected. This one should make more sense to the fingers.

Ahoy Mateees…I was working on the Sailor’s Hornpipe Challenge for banjo this week…soooo as a by-product I recorded it on my Tenor Ukulele for my “Uke Friday” I email to my friends…thought I would share…
I hope I got the file attached!
Its a Low G strung Uke.
Blessings, JB
Good job . I liked the g-lick at the end of the faster one LOL. I play that three different ways but Ben’s has a lot of thinking put into it and just another way to get there but a good way . I like Ben’s arrangement the best . How did you fare in the contest?
With all the website difficulties and my busy season at work starting I managed to get my entry in by Wednesday night about 10:00 PM MST…was too late there were three winners before me. At least the exercise got my blood flowing… It seems like I do my best work when I have a challenge like a vocalist requesting me to play solo back up for them at a special event where I have to figure out an arrangement in a week or less…Keep on pickin’…JB
I now have Ben’s lesson complete on guitar, Sailors hornpipe . The lesson is a hoot to learn fun for sure . I had a tad bit of trouble with the cross picking and kept wanting to do a down stroke where the up stroked worked much better . part B That makes three arrangements and when I learn Drguitars arrangement that will be four. LOL
