Little Sadie-American Murder Ballad

[SixShooter0999]

Very cool...I wish I could play the banjo : )

[tylenoljohnson]

did Johnny Cash adapt this song for Cocaine Blues?

[4KON9]

It sounds very much like Greacy Coat

[croshayallday]

That's some durn good pickin'!

[spinzorelli]

Thanks. The Banjo is a Deering Vega Senator. It's a very nice sounding, reasonably priced instrument.

[blueholygrass]

very nice job!

what kind of banjo is that, by the way? Gold Tone BC-150?

[ExistentialGirl]

That sounds wonderful! I am just really getting into this style of music, and it's won me over. I love these murder ballads, especially. Thank you for sharing. If you've got the time,I would sure appreciate any suggestions for more music like this. I want so badly to learn to sing them...and I will. :)

[Jimimarshallhendrix2]

That was awesome man!

[fredxmertz]

truly awesome. the lyrics are very close to Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues", but  I'm sure 'Sadie' was first

[grandmasterboris]

@fredxmertz yeah cocaine blues is a reworkin of this song

[PeromyscusManiculat]

Superb paying and singing! I love your video as well. Great stuff.

[beyelzu]

i have never heard this song before, really enjoyed it

[Galacticplane]

Well Done! An excellent rendition of a classic american tune. Thank you! 5 Star!

[raymondcrooke]

This is one I sing too. Excellent rendition.

sounds good, great playing and video. What tuning you in? I play it in A modal but not as high up the neck, you tab it from somewhere?

[spinzorelli]

Thanks for comment. The tuning is actually standard G tuning with the 5th string up to A. I can fully understand you playing it in A modal, it's that type of tune. I created this arrangement myself and not from Tab. The melody works well within the minor/major chord shapes up the neck. Happy pickin'!

[raisethehatchet]

very nice, enjoy your version
