Turkey in the Straw in G at 2 tempos - 75 bpm & 85 bpm
Explicit content warning
11/18/22 • 15 min
A couple of weeks ago I released an episode where we played Wildwood Flower back to back at two different speeds - once at 75 bpm then again at 85. It proved so popular I've decided to do the same with some more tunes! This week it's Turkey in the Straw, again at 75 and 85 and we're in the key of G.
We're using the jam along format - that means I'm kicking off playing backup and you're on the tune, then we swap and go round 4 times. Then, after a quick pause, we do the whole thing again at 85 bpm.
Don't forget to grab a chord sheet if you need one from bluegrassjamalong.com
Happy picking!

Food For Thought - Tim Stafford on Why David Grier Doesn't Put Rhinestones in his Hammers (!)
I interviewed Tim Stafford for the podcast this week, which was an absolute treat. We talked about all sorts, from Blue Highway to Tony Rice, Billy Strings and Tim's songwriting.
Tim also talked about David Grier's take on what matters when it comes to guitars, strings and picks, which is great. Tim also does a killer David Grier impersonation, which is worth hearing in its own right!
Here's the Tim Stafford interview, in case you missed it.
And here's David Grier's website, for no reason other than David's brilliant.
Happy picking!

Harry Clark (East Nash Grass/Dan Tyminski) interview
My guest this week is Harry Clark, a recipient of the 2022 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year award.
Harry plays mandolin with East Nash Grass as well as in Dan Tyminski's band, both of which have new records due out in 2023. He also played in the band for Bronwyn Keith-Hynes' fabulous record 'Fiddler's Pastime.' Both Dan and Bronwyn were full of praise for Harry's playing when I interviewed them (you'll find links to those interviews on the Bluegrass Jam Along website).
We chatted about how Harry got into mandolin, how East Nash Grass got together and how Harry got the gig with Dan Tyminski, as well as the time he ordered a new mandolin, only to have the US Mail lose it for three months!
For updates check out Harry's Instagram and the East Nash Grass website
Check out Dan Tyminski's website for updates on that record and Dan's live shows.
Happy picking!
