Very well played. I learned this version of Gospel Plow from Dwight Diller directly and I suspect Adam and Chance did also. It's a treat to hear Diller's take on this tune. I vaguely recall that Dwight learned it from Jenes Cottril but maybe not. At any rate, it's just a really neat variation on mountain minor songs since it is played in double C not dgcd tuning.
Thanks so much for your appreciation,Leslie, and also your insightful comments. I think I had a vague sense of this tying back to Dwight Diller, but never followed up on that. Didn’t take much looking on TH-cam to confirm that, and also that DD sources it to Jenes Cottrell. Bob Thornburg also put out a very Dillereque version. Also, yes, Double C is the “Swiss Army Knife” tuning when it comes to modes. I did a whole video on that a few years back demonstrating how and why Double C works for major, minor, mixolydian, and dorian modes of C. I even did a sequel video where I played Mississippi Sawyer in Double C, starting in the normal major mode, then working through the other three
Beautiful! I enjoyed your rendition and thank you for the tablature. I’m going to start working this up for myself. Good timing as I just got comfortable enough to move into the double C tuning.
Thank you Merilee! Double C is a lot of fun. I also have a playlist of tunes in Double C, and many of the tunes have linked tabs. It's a mix of clawhammer and 2F picking, but I think there are 30+ videos in the playlist. Enjoy!
This is a really cool and fairly easy to learn version of Gospel Plow. Great starting point.
Thanks CC! Have fun with it.
