Notes: This is banjo - guitar duet of Paul McCartney's Blackbird. The guitar is from Paul's playing. The interesting is that he uses only 2-finger chords, fretting mostly the second and the fifth string, and uses the open third string as a kind drone. The banjo is a relatively simple 3-finger with mixed forward and backward rolls to match the rhythm of the guitar. |

Notes: Dance Around Molly is a nice old fiddle tune, made known by Tommy Magness (who played with Bill Monroe and later with Roy Acuff in the 40's, and on Grand Ole Opry).
This tab represents several different styles:
1) Some kind of old-time melodic three-finger playing almost all notes as the fiddle plays. There is two variants of the first part (part A): first a high version and then a lower version down the neck version. In the fiddle recording part A is the low part which start on the low notes (fourth string on the fiddle) and goes up, but to play all the notes I chose to go up one octave. In the variation I cheat away the low notes.
2) Some kind of Scruggs style.
3) Clawhammer
Choose whatever style you like. |

Notes: This is from Briggs' Banjo Instructor, published in 1855. In the original notation the banjo was tuned dGDF#A, and the tune was played i D major. I have transcribed it to aEAC#E (standard G tuning with capo on second fret) to play in the key of A, which seems to be the most common key for other versions of Money Musk. |

Notes: π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any Euclidean circle's circumference to its diameter. π is approximately equal to 3.14. π is an irrational number its decimal representation never ends and never repeats. I took the 204 first decimals and made music of. 1 became a G, 2 an A and som on so 8 became a high g (fifth string), 9 a high A and 0 a high B. |

Notes: This is an easy version of Shouting in Jerusalem. Mike Seeger plays this on his True Vine album and he based hes playing on Josh Thomas. Mike plays on a gourd banjo tuned down to three steps to E: eBEG#B. I think Josh Thomas paled a resonator banjo in standard G tuning. This is a simple arrangement, to some part based on Mike Seeger, but to most part my own ideas how to play a simpified Shouting In Jerusalem. |

Notes: This is a traditional Swedish Song - "Song from Utanmyra" (Utanmyra is a small village in the province of Dalarna or Dalecarlia . It is also known as "Oh Tysta Ensamhet" which means "Oh Silent Loneliness". It was made popular by a Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson who recorded several Swedish folk songs in a kind of "folky jazz" - very sentitively and delicate. Here you can listen to how he played it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8KydQTvBMk . It shall be played rather slowly and delicately. It is in a modal A minor mode, and I made my arrangement in sawmill tuning gDGCD capoed on second fret to aEADE. This arrangement is in clawhammer style but it should be easy to covert it to a simple threefinger style. |

Notes: This is a clawhammer version of Beatles' Yesterday. It should be played rather fast, but softly and sweetly without drive.
The arrangement contains some drop thumbs and Alternate String Pull Off, but these can be skipped if you think it too advanced. |
