Chords for "June Apple" Banjo Lesson [Song of the Week]

Hey y'all, how's it going?
This is Bennett.
This week we're looking [F] at the old-time tune June Apple.
I learned this one as a claw hammer piece and I've transferred it over to melodic style banjo.
It's a pretty straightforward arrangement, a nice mixture of melodic, single [C] string,
and skrug style playing.
If you have any questions at all, please let me know in the comments section.

Thanks [E] so much for watching and

[B] _ _ _ _ _ This is a personal arrangement of June Apple _ _ and I just based it on the years of going to jam
sessions and playing this song and listening to fiddle players play it.
_ _ I'm trying to take
elements from the old-time version I know on claw hammer banjo and put that into this [Em] song.
I don't know if that came through or not.
This arrangement is mostly in the melodic style.
_ You'll notice this part, _ _ _ [Am] it's just a backwards [Em]-forwards roll.
_ _ _ _ [E] And _ _ _ _ then you go into that.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ There's [B] this _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
there's that little transition part that I used to bounce between _ this phrase [E] _
_ and this phrase. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So just be aware of that.
There's not many differences.
[Em] _ _
There's not much to this part
except for bouncing between this _ and _ _ _ _ that.
And that's like a little transition.
I look
at that as a transition. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
I look at that as a transition.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
And after [Em] that, _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ instead of going boo-da-boo-da, I'm going boo [A]-da-boo-da.
So _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ alternatively from going, _ [E] _ which is up the scale, I'm [B] going down the scale.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ And then an [G] F lick. _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ Technically it's a G lick since we have capo too, but it's [G] out of this
F-shaped chord.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ And that's a single string lick.
So _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ it's a nice mixture of single string and melodic.
And I should note, [F#]
when you're playing
melodic, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ I'm using my thumb quite a bit when I'm doing this [Em] melodic phrase. _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ And I've just felt that I've always felt that I get more speed that way and I get a little bit
more punch using my thumb on the second string. _ _ _
I've seen a lot of other banjo players do it,
and I really like the sound of it.
So that's where [C] that comes from.
The B section, [B] _ _ _ there's _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E]
not much to it.
There's like kind of a mixture of scrugs and melodic stuff
_ boo-da-da-boo [A]
-da.
_ _ _ _ That's kind [C] of a syncopated phrase right there, but it's just two [G#m] forward
rolls.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
I _ _ mean, you could do any sort of inflections on that, _ _ _ _ _ like a slide into a pull-off if you
wanted to, but I just kind of kept it straight.
And then you do an optomelodic G scale.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ The melody that I hear in this spot _ is_
_ _ [B] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ So I [E] got that by going_
_ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ So [C#m]
from the beginning of
the B section, _ _ [B] and _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ then repeat.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] I've heard varying versions of this B section, the first
one being what I played with a V chord, _ [F#] _ _ _
[A] the _ _ other one [G] being with a G chord doing that lick. _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So it's up to you to determine which one you want to play.
I'm teaching you the one with the V chord.
You'll hear different versions at jam sessions, [N] _ and this is why learning by ear is a great way
to do this, is so you can train your ears to hear the differences between a V chord
_ and a b7 chord, and knowing how to accommodate that change.
_ _ So that's a brief rundown of this
song.
Thanks so much for watching.
