I teach this tune for free on my channel. I post a new lesson for fiddle, guitar, and mandolin there every single week! You can also get the full lesson and the sheet music on my website.

[vetofwar]

Is this a gold tone banjo he is playing?

[MrAckwood]

Is this out from Acworth? And playing this in D is unusual but I like it.

[Origamifanime]

The person who wrote that came to my school for an orchestra performance, and he played with us!

[birddoggification]

@Origamifanime lol i think this song was written during the civil war. Just something to think about.

[deerhunter1029p]

Mighty good picking

[Dudeski7689]

Nice Clawhammer style there buddy! Very nice!

[nasty5oh]

[msdaizyjane]

[hoplite246]

holy crap... my dads name is Richard Green!!

[cpcloud7]

my stepdads called richard green lol

[griszabella]

This is usually played in D (aDADE), like double-C tuning raised a whole step.

[ColdFusionGames]

Hm.. I usually see it played 5th-c CGBD. Regular open G, but with the 4th tuned down to C.

[rmstudio]

I always seem to come and stop by this version of soldier joy is it perhaps the overalls or the log cabin? maybe but I think its the skill and style of this pickers banjo skills that make me come back again and again. Thanks for posting.

[jcommins]

Hi Richard. Can you tell me the tuning you're using, please. Sounds great.

[thebetterhalf37]

sounds like open G

[shortcreekfarms]

WOW!!! awesome job! do you ever play in a band or in concert? if so I wanna know, in Kentucky here and love good bluegrass players thanks for posting

[ceroeck]

WOW...! i'm speechless

[seanhive]

they is really great musicianship.

[idswart]

What's all the caution tape for?

[jeannemcdaniel]

At this area of judging, there were designated areas that they wanted to keep people out of. I guess they didnt want people distracting the judges or contestants.

[cantstanga]

is this the fiddle player from muleskinner

[toftmf]

No, his name was Richard Greene, born 1945.

[vetofwar]

The best version ive ever heard of soldiers joy! This is a wonderfull piece. Does Richard Green have a cd??

[toftmf]

My favorite version, not old-timey or bluegrass is a Celtic very featuring Aly Bain & his teacher Tom Anderson...quite a bit different.

[Skinnyjeans31]

You obviously havent heard the nitty gritty dirt band play this song on Uncle Dave Macons banjoe

[slithyj]

Really great. Classic sound. Let's pick if you ever get up around Mars Hill.

[jeannemcdaniel]

We will be going to mars hill for the old time music week in June. maybe then! Thanks
