Old Joe Clark: A Brief Mandolin Rendition

Description by Artist: I've put together this simple arrangement of Old Joe Clark. This is a relatively short video, but I think that you'll find I've covered just about everything you need to learn and add this one to your list of tunes to play. I've found that Old Joe Clark is a popular tune that you often hear in festivals and jam sessions. Hence, it's a great tune to have in your back pocket when it comes time for you to call one out at your next jam session. As I'm sure many of us have experienced, the more intricate and advanced versions of tunes we learn at home often become victims of nervous fingers once we step into the spotlight. With that said, I've tried to put together a straight forward arrangement that stays true to the melody and is a great version for beginners and intermediate players alike.

This video gives you a quick rendition of Old Joe Clark that I'm sure you'll use as a backbone for other more complicated versions. I play through once at full speed, and then slow it down with a close up of the fretboard so you can see exactly what I'm playing. Video is in widescreen with good detail.
