Sitting alone in the moonlight- old bluesey bluegrass song on claw hammer banjo chords
Start Jamming...
How's everybody doing out there?
Hope you're doing good.
J.R. Willis coming at you again.
I'm gonna try to do a little bluegrass song.
[N] I don't know who wrote it.
Probably Bill Monroe or something.
[B] Kind of got a bluesy sound to it.
A little bit slow.
I'm gonna try to do a little thing.
Kind of a
I guess they call it a tremolo.
I used to
have a
tape of Pete Seeger's show that showed him on there
doing that thing.
And I always thought it was real cool.
You don't see a lot of people doing it like that.
Just use your index finger and kind of
[Eb] wiggle it back and forth on there.
Get kind of sound like a mantel or something like that.
I always found it somewhat difficult to do so.
We'll see how it turns out.
If I mess it up, don't hold it against me.
[B] [Ab]
This old banjo, I just brought it out of the house.
So get a little bit out of whack on the tuning there.
It sounds pretty [B] close.
Might get out on before I'm done.
I don't know.
It's a pretty short song, so we'll see.
[Abm] Anyway, this thing's called Sitting Alone in the [B] Moonlight.

I love this.
