Lonesome Fiddle Blues

[fishdawg40]

Hi all! Inspired by the Sam Bush and Sierra Hull video here
and my great admiration for the late Vassar Clements, I've decided to learn the above mentioned tune. I did a quick google search and found a nice begginer version that can be found here. Just scroll down, it's the 2nd tune. It has an mp3 and explanation on how to play it. There are some good versions of the tune on an Old and in the Way album (can't remember which one) and the John Hartford Aereo Plane band reunion concert from 2000. If anyone knows where else this tune can be found I would be more than happy to hear. I just love this song so much and wanted to share with anyone who is interested.

Six versions in Tabledit on Mandozine.com

Five are listed as intermediate & one, as advanced
I learned the Stangland transcription......cool tune
makes a great medley with Grisman's Opus 38.

It is indeed a cool tune. My son is obsessed with it!

I picked it up from mandozine. David Peters does a very Grismanesque version.

I will have to check that one out!

Thanks for posting the suggestions everyone.

Funny Thing, I just started working on this one. It keeps going around in my head. The first part i've got down, the second part, I'm trying to put something together from several versions I like- so thanks for the input.
