[B] [D] [Em]
[D] [E] [Dm] [Em] [A]
[G] [A] [D] [B]
[D] [B] [Em] [D]
[E] [Em] That's in its rawest form.
Yeah, it's an interesting tune because it starts out in a minor but it goes right to a major.
[G]
Yeah.
[E] [D] [B]
[D] That's where the C from the A minor into the C.
[A] Right.
Back to what amounts to a G.
[Em]
[F#m] [Em] Yeah.
And then closes with the D minor.
Can you play it a little bit, is it possible to play slower?
[G] [A] [E] [F#m] [D]
[B] [D] [A]
[E] [Dm] [C#m] [Em]
[A] [G] [E] [F#m] [D]
[B] [D]
[A] [Em]
That's, I think, very similar to the banjo version of the [N] Clarence Ashley played.
Right.
And I could certainly use the services of Wyatt Rice here to help [G#] demonstrate that.
Yeah, let's try that.
It would be good to be able to see both your left hand and Wyatt's left hand on this so
we can see the chords that he's playing while you're playing the melody.
Maybe we can see how you'd improvise as well against the chords he's playing.
Yeah, we'll try to demonstrate [Em] that if we can.
All right, let's do that.

[F#m] [E] [A]
[D] [E] [Bm]
[F#m] [Em] [A]
[Em]
Yeah, now.
That's very similar to what I played on the Manzanita album.
Yeah, now what you're basically doing is taking that basic melody.
It's not really that different, but you're adding a lot of notes in and around the melody notes.
Well, like the original, for example, [A]
[G] [A] is
[D] [B]
[D] [B]
[A] [F#] [Em] And a phrase in there I learned from Sam Bush [D]
[B] was
[F#m] [Em] You hear the difference in that?
Yeah.
