Greasy Coat Fiddle Tune

Old Time fiddle tune Greasy Coat. Source for this tune is usually sited as Edn Hammons, but I've heard many subtle variations on that version. And my version is simply a mish-mash of all those versions I've heard.

you are playing the a part incorrectly. Fuck sheet music. God damn.

[briscott99]

Ah, you again. I'll be sure try to play it the "correct" way next time.

By the way, where'd you get the sheet music for Greasy Coat?

[briscott99]

Hi, I learned this tune from hearing lots of folks playing it over the years. I don't think I've ever seen sheet music for it, but it may be available out there somewhere.

Sounds great. Dont pay attention to daniel, the only Greasy Coat he knows is the one he leaves behind when jammin on the Skin Flute. Keep up the good work

[oldsoulify]

Nice playing.

[brianchulito]

Nice playing but you should use more of the bow. You're just using the top for most of the tune.

My mother is a Hammonds. Edden Hammons was my great-grandfather's great-uncle.

Nice fiddlin'!

Did I hear a little blues/rock tone in there? Cool.

[wolfieboyer]

Sounds great man.

[Mandolin1944]

Fantastic -- you have created a great version of this tune! Best tradition of folk music -- carry on!!!

[eruanion]

Brother you sound pretty good. All I can say is you just need to practice the rhythm of the song a little bit

[sbsoltis]

Awesome. One of the best versions I have heard. Who is the wuss arguing about the A part? Sounds like a Yankee Clifftop weanie. There are no rules in Old Time. Play it the way you feel.

I'd been thinking about taking up the fiddle.... now that's a must. Many thanks Chris
