![]() ![]() ![]() Why add another? Well, this one has some interesting features. Notes: There are already 237 versions of Groundspeed on BHO. Posted by corcoran, updated: - 6 Member Comments I have also thrown in a single-string version of the first part of the tune, for a slightly different approach. Pay particular attention to the interesting variation on the V chord (A) beginning in measure 28 - for me, this clever sequence typifies Bill Keith's inventive playing. Don Reno played it in D tuning, and he renamed it "Green Mountain Hop." On his "Something Auld" album, over 30 years ago, Bill Keith also played "Green Mountain Hop" in open D tuning, and it is a great arrangement that I have tried to capture in this tablature. On the banjo the tune is also wonderful played out of open D tuning (f#DF#AD). However, following Doc Watson's version, guitarists tend to play it in C, capoed up 2 to D. Most banjo pickers play "Black Mountain Rag" out of G tuning, usually capoed up 2 to A. Notes: This arrangement is in open D tuning (f#DF#AD).

And if you find the TablEdit file to be too long to print, with both musical notation and guitar accompaniment displayed, you can go into “Print Preview,” then “Print Setup,” then “Multitrack” to suppress the musical notation, and you can delete the guitar by clicking on the green bar above track 2 and deleting. But you can slow the MIDI down, to hear it better. On the recording, Alison really burns it up hence the MIDI is high-speed. His contributions to BHO have been very significant. ![]() Through the years Jack has been generous and accommodating in helping me to understand the subtleties of TablEdit and of musical notation in general, and I gratefully acknowledge his guidance here. And I want to thank Jack Baker for alerting me to the pitch change function. The actual notes played are shown in text above the appropriate section of tab. This is because I employed the pitch change function to achieve that sound (also, how would TablEdit depict detuning the second string from B to A - e.g., 0 to -2?). When examining the tab, you will be able to hear the note changes in the MIDI file - and you will need to listen to the MIDI, to hear the tune's melody - but these are not reflected in the frets indicated in the tab, which show the string going from 0 to 0. Girl’s Breakdown is one of her originals that makes good use of Keith/Scruggs tuners, hence her clever play on the title “Earl’s Breakdown.” The tune is on her wonderful 2000 recording “Fair Weather.” In addition to her progressive and jazz playing, Brown can rip off a straight-ahead bluegrass tune. Brown lived up to expectations, and in the process I discovered the delightful Michele Shocked. I first saw her in the 1990s when she was accompanist for Michele Shocked, and her reputation led me to a Michele Shocked concert in Victoria, B.C. Notes: Alison Brown is an incredible progressive banjo player, right up there with Bela and a few others.
