If I know you Alan, you won't have been waiting since 20 Feb for a first tune. Suggest another thread for a second or possibly 32nd tune by now. |

J. D.! - You've just "opened a big door" for me! I've been working on "Together Again", on sts.3/5 with a/b pedals, also "Waltz across Texas", "Farewell Party" "Mansion on the Hill", "Yard Sale", "I Can't Stop Loving You", etc. - nothing fast as yet ..... I'm just getting into using the Knee Levers.
Your suggestions on learning these tunes on alternate strings using different pedals and knee levers is great advice! I can see where this will enable me to learn faster and accomplish more, because as I already know how to play the tune one way, I can "build on what I already know", so to speak. The old saying "Nothing succeeds like success" is so true - it inspires us to keep learning.Thanks....J. J. "If I was having any more fun in this life, I'd have to be twins to enjoy it all!!" |

I see you have a number of good selections suggested. Amazing Grace is always good, one of the first songs I learned on the Banjo. Here are a couple more if you like gospel & hymns, "One day at a time", and "I'll meet you in the morning," and one that is a litle more up beat is "I'll fly away". We all had to start some place. By the way I got these out of an old "Country & Western Gospel Hymnal" by Zondervan in Grand Rapids Mi. 49506, It may be out of print.MSA D10 8/2 |

As mentioned earlier (thanks Justin !) I did a 2 string, 2 pedal version of Danny Boy on my site.
There is downloadable tab and an MP3. Its simple but not dumbed down. If you can make it sing you got something.It should be pretty easy to find on my site. thanks, Bob
