Clinch Mountain Backstep (Lead)

Ralph Stanley's banjo classic arranged for guitar. The first video breaks down the melody and the second gives an example of what you might play as accompaniment.
This song is usually played in the key of A so put your capo on the second fret.

[banjo1302]

are you in normal tuning before the capo was put on

[ludwigtrap]

Yup,

Standard tuning capo at the 2nd.

[glassheartjg]

This is very good, but could you show your right hand too?

[ludwigtrap]

Thanks,

I don't have two cameras so in an effort to get a close-up shot I left the right hand out. It's just alternate picking on the right hand starting on a down-stroke.

[bigmrclean]

what kind of guitar is that? sounds good

[poppyseller1]

just look at his hands and listen with your ears , all the info you need is right there. tab is so lazy , you will never learn as much from a tab as you will by listening and having someone show you by example.

[AspiretoShred]

Hey man, thanks a million for posting how to play this! but I have one favor, can you post a tab? I just don't know how to figure out what to play on the open strings.

[TruegrassBoy]

Good job - you make this one easy to learn. It's a good tune and I don't think there are any other versions on the web so.... thanks for posting!
