Okay, I've been listening to the Sam Bush version of "8 More Miles to Louisville" (in G). I've slopped a little solo together, but I've reached a stand still and would like a few more embellishments. Does anyone have it tabbed out or their own version that they can send me? Any tips would be appreciated and put to good use!
There is a version of this tune on Co-Mando by Jimmy Gaudreau under the Tabedit files. It might help you out some.
Here you go. Sorry it took 9 years.
^^^ At least you came through right? haha!
Hey David while you are at it i don't suppose you have the notation by chance?

I think there is an age old saying about not trying to squeeze blood from a sausageQuote:

Just heard it last night on a re-run of Hee-Haw and it seems so easy that trying to learn it by ear shouldn`t be very hard at all, Grand Pa Jones didn`t play any thing complicated, did he?
Sam Bush does a very particular solo in his version, and that's what I've transcribed above, not the Grandpa Jones version.Quote:

You know he did Willie. That pup changes chords every beat. Sorta like Arkansas Traveler, or Black Hairy Possum (blackberry blossum).Quote:

One of the last decade posts mentioned the Gaudreau version. Niles' book of Gaudreau solos listed this one, including the dim lick he ends it with. Very nice, indeed.
David, if that's the Bush version, what's this version?
I can't make your version sound like the song at all. Am I missing something?
Pete the version David posted sounds pretty much like the sam bush version to my ears whereas the tabledit one is quite different imo.
its a cool song alright. :)
Thanks Jonny, I'll keep working on it.
The version on Mandozine is by Jimmy Gaudreau from his "The Gaudreau Mandolin Album"Quote:

It has been almost eighteen years since this thread started. In view of my 'title' on the cafe, I feel compelled to respond, as I am sure there are many who have been waiting for my feedback. I really like 'Eight More Miles to Louisville", be it by Sam, or Gaudreau or whomever. My favorite, however, was hearing Grandpa and Ramona do it live, on stage, in Louisville KY my home town. There, I said it!
