There is one colour in each verse and the lyrics repeat all the time:
"Grün, grün, grün sind alle meine Kleider,
grün, grün, grün ist alles, was ich hab.
Darum lieb' ich alles, was so grün ist,
weil mein Schatz ein Jäger ist."
(Green ... are all my cloths, green is everything I own, this is why I love everything green, because my darling is a hunter)
It goes on with all types of colours and matching professions, black => chimney sweeper, red => fireman, yellow => postman, blue => sailor. You get the idea... |

Posted by KI4PRK, last updated: 11/11/2009 7:07:03 PM Average Rating: (not yet rated) 1 Member Comments Add Rating/CommentDOWNLOAD: TABLEDIT Notes: Farewell Blues, an old swing tune made famous as a bluegrass banjo instrumental by Earl Scruggs, in a more jazz-worthy key: Eb major, although like Earls version it has that funky b3 major chord instead of the swingy b3 diminished chord. The key should not be as much a subject of worry as is the intense hand contortions needed to get the drop-C chord (e.g. 5567, 4th to 1st strings) sound in open-G; down the neck this is a real STRECH! It took me a looottt of practising to be able to make the chords up to speed, but it is worth it; it's a real neat sound. The other hard lick is the tag lick such as the one in measures 3 & 7. This one takes a little practice. The single string licks are mostly standard Reno single string licks, although there's one of my own at the beginning of the 5th break. This tune will definitely take some practice, but it's a real firecracker once you get it right. I shamelessly like this tune in Eb much better than drop-C tuning, key of C. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

Posted by KI4PRK, last updated: 9/7/2009 3:55:41 PM Average Rating: (not yet rated) 5 Member Comments Add Rating/CommentDOWNLOAD: TABLEDIT Notes: Here's Fiddler's Blues, an old Fiddlin' Arthur Smith tune in D. It is one of the most haunting tunes I know, making extensive use of that odd flat-five note (Ab in this case). It is quite slow, and has a march-like quality (in rhythm, not melody!), which is slightly less exaggerated in the original recording by the use of sock-rhythm guitar rather than the standard bass-chord bluegrass/old time rhythm guitar. It's not particularly hard, and because it is slow the single string parts can (and should) be played by picking repeatedly with the thumb rather than TI or TIM (I have included right-hand fingering in this tab for this reason). There are a lot of bends in this tune, to replicate the many slides Smith used in the recording. I like to put a D-tuner on the low D, set the stop down to slightly above a C, and bend from the b7 up to the D in the second part, to replicate FA Smith's slide there. I highly recommend listening to the original recording! Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

Play *slowly*, with metronome or play along with Tabledit, until you can play them perfectly. If you're making mistakes as you play, you're playing it fast. Increase speed gradually over time. I did this with standard G tuning, which is how it sounds best, but this is about fingering, not melody, so technically the tuning of your banjo doesn't matter. |

While not an unknown fiddle tune, it's not overly common and is one of my personal favorites. It's relatively hard, and I perpetually have trouble with the timing. There are two markedly different ways to play "Fisher's", one is at a medium tempo with a pronounced bounce, the other is at a relatively fast tempo with straight 8th notes. The former would be more of a dancing style, the latter a bluegrass style. There are two places in the tune which have a II7 (G7) chord, which may or may not be played by the guitarist. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

There is a little bit of "cross-picking" (crossing one right-hand finger over another) and dropping the middle finger down to the 2nd string. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun! |

The A part is a down the neck, fairly scruggsy solo version of the melody. The B part goes up the neck, and is rather more like how Punch Brothers do it, albeit massively simplified from Noam P's part! Capoed up 2 for A.

Trying to speed up too fast is difficult because it only SOUNDS like FMB at warp 9. Slowing it down and adding some swing makes it fun and almost turns it into a new song - except it's not. Play it with some swing, and when the speed comes to you it'll sound like FMB! This was tabbed on the fly so it's not completely accurate - but it's close enough. |

Posted by porterchrille, last updated: 1/9/2011 1:56:14 AM Average Rating: (not yet rated) Add Rating/CommentDownload from banjochrille.com Notes: Foochow's Shanghai has been my first compostion for the tenor banjo, which I have dedicated to my good Scottish banjo friend Bill Somerville from Glasgow.
It should adapt an Chinese touch, in style to Chinatown, My Chinatown.
This tune was published in my second music book for the tenor banjo.
Chrille's Hot & Jazzy Melodies For The Tenor Banjo Vol. II deals with wonderful compositions for the tenor banjo, which present the banjo in all it's characteristics. These are the songs: St. Louis Blues (W.C. Handy), Pepper & Salt (Ralph Colicchio), Foochow's Shanghai (Christian Loos), The Savoy Rag (Pete Mandell), The Ghost Of The Banjo (Roy Smeck) & My Lady Jazz (A.J. Weidt). As a first impression of the book you can enjoy my composition Foochow's Shanghai.
As always you have a piano accompaniment on CD in three different speed levels.

I heard a classical guitarist talking about tremolo speed. Tremolo on a classical guitar involves playing a rapid succession of index (i) - middle (m) - ring (a). He pointed out that even though the combination of the notes is rapid each finger digit is only striking the string say twice a measure, or once a measure. My theory is that if you increase the tempo on the index only to get the timing right on and then switch to middle only and then thumb only and then start mixing combinations of thumb + index only, or thumb + middle only, or index + middle only, then when you finally do thumb, index, middle you "might" be able to play a little faster than before. |

I heard it differenly so here's my version. I think Emerson and Waldon played it capoed up in C (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjQRzH-S_JM). Enjoy! |

Posted by mwblake, last updated: 10/11/2011 11:09:02 AM Average Rating: (not yet rated) 2 Member Comments Add Rating/CommentDOWNLOAD: TABLEDIT Notes: A very pretty waltz written by Phil Cunningham. You can find a great recording of this tune on the "Transatlantic Sessions 3" DVD, featuring Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas. (No banjo to be seen, but we can remedy that!) I noticed just recently on listening to the original again, that I was missing a descending chord progression in the B part, so and have rectified it! B part is now complete with a "C-Am7-D-G change, as opposed to C - - G, which is how the tab went until now.... :-) |

Posted by earlsgranada, last updated: 5/10/2013 10:31:16 PM Average Rating: (not yet rated) Add Rating/CommentDOWNLOAD: TEXT Notes: This is my very simple country honky-tonk type arrangement to Bobby Helms' hit "Fraulein".
This my first venture into a arrangement like this. Most of this tab follows only melody notes, some other are embellished.
The best of luck!
Here's the original recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4cA8gTVXo
This is the whole tab. The verse and the chorus are the same melody. The chords follow as: A, D & E, in that order for bot the verses and the choruses.
