Sweet, im guessing a eastman? Great mandolins, they have the potential to be the first and last mandolin a person needs to own. Unless they catch "the bug" Haha
Nice lesson. I had the chance to see Bill Monroe and Kenny Baker perform. I also got to talk to them both during intermission and Kenny said Jerusalem Ridge was all Bills song. Kenny was a humble man but I think he had some influence in the writing of the song and credited Bill for all of it. Such great talent. Missed by us old timers.
Thank you Mr. Williamanesbitt for this lesson, I have spent last two nights working on this tune, and can play it slowly, now just have to work on speeding it up to speed, excellent job!
Thanks for breaking this down. I've been wanting to learn this for a long time but didn't like any of the tab versions I found. Can't wait to call it in my next jam!
Excellent! Fiddle player here looking for guidance on that shuffle in 2nd position towards the end. Your fingering clearly showed what's going on in the tune. Thanks! I may be able to finish learning this tonight.
I`ve been trying to get that 4th part on my fiddle . I finally got it . I think it`s great the way you teach and the speed at what you play ,keep it up Thanks
I had a good friend that taught the same way in half measures.I makes it so much easier to learn.Thanks for the wonderful lesson.I wish you would break down road to spencer.
Kenny Baker had Bill Monroe playing with him on his album, so I consider that an "authorized version" of this tune. This is a good instructional video.
My pleasure... I had to unpost it when I discovered some screw-ups towards the end that I had neglected to edit around... can't have people thinking I'm less than perffect.
I only asked because I used to teach guitar the exact same way ... I play mandolin too but ... I lost my right pinky in an accident ... It was the last part I got that from but I can see your counting on beat
Thanks for taking the time to do this, williamnesbitt! I am working it up for guitar (I play w/ Solly Burton, the two-time mandolin champ at Winfield). I could transcribe it painstakingly from a recording, but since you've broken it down, I'll get it this way a bit at a time, then I'll throw in a 'guitarism' or two; but this way is more fun and less painful! Cheers!
People do that part different ways, including me sometimes. But I thought if I'm gonna teach it, best to go back to the "original" notes that Kenny Baker played. Or best I could, anyway.
This is a great lesson. I also thank you for the tablature you have provided. So grateful!
Thanks for the lesson....my 305 is due to be here tomorrow! Great little mandos!!

Thanks for the lesson. I had started learning this tune from the sheet music but your fingering guide is a big help.

Very clearly explained. Thanks!

thanks so much for this. I could never figure out that C part. . . Cheers.

Really good ... But , Just a question was you given this lesson one on one and copied it ... ? Would love to know if I'm correct
If I recall correctly, I learned this from Kenny Baker on a Bill Monroe album from 1968.
Just awesome! Thank you!
I love this tune... don't care if Kenny or Bill wrote it :-)
Great tune... by Kenny Baker or Bill Monroe? Does anybody know?
what kind of mando is that, it's so pretty!
Great job thanks....
This is great thank you! Do you have a link to your tabs you are referencing?
You can download it here: www.littlerockmandolin.com/videos-bluegrass.htm
Yep... will have to work my way up to this one :) great video though
When you leave the triplets out I can not even recognize it as the tune I am used to hearing.
Post the link to your free lessons and TAB, thanks.
