Black Mountain Rag in C

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

This ol' tune is typically played in A, but very commonly in C. I have already taught it in A, and wanted to play in C to use that high E string like I do on guitar. Tons of fun!

    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
