    Default Examples of solos in 3/4 time

    Can someone list any examples of popular new or old bluegrass/ newgrass that have great mandolin solos in 3/4 time?

    I've picked "Paradise" by John Prine as one of my songs for my Bluegrass Jam Camp this week. It is in 3/4 time. I'm trying to build a solo each week to go with my tune (especially since I'm the only mandolin).

    I'm used to improving, (read: TRYING to solo ), each song, but they are usually always in 4/4 or 2/4.

    Last week we did a 3/4 timed song on the fly so all the players are used to them now. I just want to listen to the greats do one.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    How about Tennessee Waltz? Some varying examples from just yesterday, including the (now almost legendary??) Chris Thiele visit to Mandolin Brothers.
