Here's 4 tunes that I'm working on

Devil in the Haystack
A Bunch of Chickens
Bear Pen Hollow
and Chinquapin Hunting

[QUOTE=JL277z;1651120]My try at transcribing that tune, based on listening to it at half-speed. No guarantees of accuracy! :redface: The notes with big question-marks over them, are notes that I...

I bet there's not many acoustic pickers here that don't like to pick some Norman Blake tunes from time to time. Please feel free to post some of you picking your favorite Blake tunes. Vids or music...

A little mix of me playing my new Gibson J45 Standard and my o6 goldrush
"Possum Up a Gum Stump"

I have been really working on this tune because I like it so much. It's a typical twisted OT tune. First heard it from my OT fiddler friends Bill & Dougie and then later found out they learned it...

3 I've been playing around with

Been a while since I've checked this thread. The update is I've backed off of the Loar purchase idea just for now anyways. However I did pick up a little #71364 1922 F2 and enjoying it for now.

I think I found the mandolin tab to that version of Walk Along John to Kansas

Well I came across this tune accidently but it really grabbed me so I learned to play it from this tab. The more you play it the more it get's into your blood. At least it did to me. Here is my...

Here's a cool OT fiddle tune I was playing around with yesterday. Sara Armstrong's Tune

Rocky Pallet is a beautiful tune and I recommend it highly to anyone ready for a fingering challenge. The B part has taken some extra listening because it fluctuates into 3...

"Clyde Kurst's Tune" ... Cool old-time fiddle (C) tune. Working on it today. Not quite up to the speed I want to play it at this time but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I really liked this one at Gruhn's... Just not sure yet if I want to make this big leap $$$ yet. Leaning toward chickening out for now with the thought in the back of my mind big time. I know it's an...

When I play old-time ... when I'm not playing the melody I use a sort of banjo uke kind of chunkatty chunkatty chucka rhythm while throwing in maybe some double stops and utilizing open chords a lot...

Here is another old-time fiddle tune I've been working. Indian Ate a Woodchuck (Ed Haley version) played on my '22 F2. Hope I'm not boring everyone with all my tune posts... Just having fun learning...

Since just the name Lloyd Loar is pretty special to us all here I thought that it might be interesting to post and see others post pics of our famous Lloyd Loar. Feel free to post some and or...

Here is a try at "Money Musk" an old-time fiddle tune

Been practicing this version of "New Five Cents" It's probably not the version one would normally think of for that tune. Learned it from a Mike Black recording of him playing it. There's a cool 1959...

Will be married to my wonderful wife Yuko for 30 years this Sept. I lost my wedding ring within the first 2 or 3 years water skiing and she lost hers I think down the drain several years later. I'm...
