In this, Tunetorial number 8, Dan "Clawdan" Levenson teaches Rock the Cradle Joe. It is a tune that while collected one way by Miles Krassen it developed a “common” version that is just a bit different from that. SO, the basic and intermediate versions I have recorded are played as it is commonly heard today but the advanced version gives a nod back towards that older version. It is also an often played jam tune that will come in handy BOTH ways!
In this and all of the Tutorials, Dan plays the tune three times through up to speed then slow starting with a basic version and building to an advanced one. Then Dan plays the basic version and breaks it down phrase by phrase. Same with the advanced.
This is tabbed out in Dan's newest book "Old-Time Favorites for Clawhammer Banjo" (MelBay 30224). Tab and standard notation with 2 cds of banjo and fiddle audio tracks.
You can purchase the video lesson (for unlimited streaming and download) here on the Banjo Hangout for $6. Get it here >
Some of you have requested a short demo video of the tune, so this week Dan has created just such a video--click the link to the right to watch it. Let us know what you think!
Dan and I would love to hear any feedback you have on these videos, so feel free to post or email us. Our goal here is provide a steady, affordable way for people to learn a new clawhammer tune weekly (or as often as they'd like).
If you're working on the tune, record yourself and post it below--we'd love to hear your progress!
