Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms tutorial

Only half of my face is showing.... That's probably a good thing.

Here's a basic tutorial for the classic song "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms." My goal in this one is to show the chords and some comfort zones for playing solos. If you don't know this one, it's a great basic song to know. If you do, I hope my version doesn't make you nauseous.

By the way, I didn't tune my mandolin before hand and I think it creeped up a little sharp, so I'm sorry for the trouble if you are wanting to play along. Just let me know and I'll redo it.

This is a great break and just what i'm trying to learn at the minute. Have you got tab for any of these breaks please?

@hotmandolin

Sorry, there are no TABS. It's just somethign I play. I have had several requests for a slower version of this song, although I have done a slower version in one of my videos. I plan to put up a slower version soon.

[ktbriggs]

Thanks, man. Do you have any requests?

Hi great little tutorials i play irish stuff in the uk and am trying to get my head around bluegrass.The easy lead that you do for roll in my sweet babys arms sounds great i cant quite work out the finger positions maybe sometime you could go through it a lot slower keep it up and by the way your weber sounds gorgeous thanks

[ktbriggs]

No problem, John. I'll put up a slower video soon. Thanks for watching.

[albrightarosa]

Oop, found it . . .. should have known someone already had the same request. Great stuff. Thanks

Wow, just stumbled across your tutorial. It was a lot of help. How about some tab for that simplifed version. I could not quiet make out all those doublestops and now it is stuck in my head. Thanks

hey man, this video is great, really helping me out. but i have a question. iv been playing mandolin for about a month and i was wondering if you had a tip or advice too get that muted sound when ur strumming this song, especially in the intro to this video. i have a really hard time making this song sound good without this technique. looking forward to your response, thank you!
