East Tennessee Blues

mandolin advanced

In this lesson

This is the tab to my mandolin version of a classic fiddle tune. It's a little slippery, so make sure and hold on to your pick! But, when you get it down, it's a crowd pleaser for sure!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
