The band was on the show again and got listed in the credits. The Dillards: This episode had Don Knotts and Gilligan on at the same time. Comedic double dose.

Fiddler, I chanced across some mountain folk music in episodes of the Andy Griffiths show. Portrayed as characters but were obviously real musicians. Not sure where or how to find them except by luck.

I found one episode on youtube. Done by Paul Henning, same guy as the Beverly hillbillies. So far seems a lot of fiddle and harp. Drums, piano. Accordion? Good stuff.

I've discovered a little known treasure trove of picking and licks. The local TV station is replaying the Beverly Hillbillies and the entire show soundtrack is little ditties on guitar, banjo and some other instruments. Some of the guitar is between pickin' and rockabilly.

Jerry be stealing banjo licks, listen to the start

Well, I've dug up some youtube banjo (call me too cheap to sign up) and finally saw the strings and tuning, open G. Explains a lot right there. And of course ended up watching duelling banjos tutorials. New respect for finger picking. Funny, when I was a kid with the Mel Bay guitar books...

I've just had my ear re-kindled for banjo with my previous exposure consisting of the stuff in Dreamboat Annie and a few other pop songs. The soundtrack to the Beverly Hillbillies (show content aside) has banjo and electric guitar. I tried to fake in the banjo part at the tail of Eagles Take...

I just saw an old movie that used the tune so I know it wasn't a figment of my mind. Then a title bubbled up from the depths. voila: I think I added more fill notes. I also never learned all of it.

Try it on guitar, D chord shape from 2nd fret but do E 2 more frets up, start the B note with your pinkie 7th fret 1st string, come down 1st string bounce down and back up 2nd and 3rd strings all against E chord, then B7 chord 7th fret maybe start off pinkie 2nd string, back to E Maj, B7 as...

It's pretty much straight 1/4 notes, almost no rhythmic variation. Double stop may have been partly real, some open string. Canadian, Celtic or east coast somehow filtered out to the prairies. I meant a harder quiz, play it by ear on fiddle starting on the first string, see if you can make an...

Nice. The drone like harmonies 4th down in the last song were refreshing. Too much pop music lately for me. I learned one fiddle tune over 40 years ago, possibly with double stops at the time, from my mom, I know this key is wrong but I'm sure you can "name that tune". I can't. B A G# E E B...

Bob Dylan, country, beer and good times on a late night by a wood stove with a drunk buddy. Miss it, don't do it often enough. I could hear a touch of bass walk snuck in there. Sounds like you have some serious amplification. Solid state can definitely take the output load end better than...

Sorry, I didn't know any other way to present the bass playing to you. My bad. I noticed I can't really hear the bass lines on your average laptop. I unfortunately don't have bass recordings of me, and that goes to zero if criteria is you would actually want to hear it. Have any thoughts on...

A nugget of spider and bass bubbled up from the depths. I think you'll get a kick out of it and possibly connoisseur the bass lines like a fine wine. :) edit - youtube prompted me with My Generation. forgot the good bass licks in that one too delayed offside edit - trivia Q When do you...

I went to a blues festival once and noted a common thread amongst most of the bass players, both in style and eq setting. In rock/pop you have everything from Hofner to Rickenbacker. One small time Canadian band Streetheart had a bass player they called spider probably because of his style...

Has anyone successfully transferred back and forth between bass and guitar, or does it always just end sounding like a guitar guy doing bass, or a bass guy attempting guitar? I sat in on bass once and was accused of sounding country for doing too much McCartney style walking and alternate...
