I learned the tune from Hyram Posey when I was about 16. I met him at Weezer. He was so nice he went home to Texas and made me a cassette tape of lots of great tunes, including this one. It was written by D'Jalma Garnier III.
@@BluegrassWithFriends Indeed. Thank you for the encouragement. I've been a playing guitar for over 25 years now. It'd take me a while to get fiddle down(I've tried on a friends), and I'll stick to the fretted instruments for now. There's a nice looking banjo for for sale at the local music shop for $100. You seem like a good teacher. I will be watching many of your videos in the years to come.
Yes, waltz time would use run ponypony (1 2&3&). Any combination of 3 quarter notes and/or six 1/8th notes. You could count this: 1& 2 3 1 2& 3 ect.. and mix different ones to make a two measure pattern such as: 1 2& 3& 1& 2 3.
Relaxing the shoulders, when i practice i can only do one thing at a time! After i learn the song and can think about something else, thats when i play it and concentrate on relaxing. Try it on a song you know well. Thanks Very Much, Mike

Buying a fiddle and a banjo is in my near future.
You will have years of enjoyment ...and frustration! 😁

Isn't Jolie Blonde a Waltz? What bow pattern would you use?

Im 50 yrs young & started self teaching in Sept 2020. I'm liking the way you you teach. Thanks! Do you have any tips for how to relax shoulders?
