Black Mountain Rag - Roland White Mandolin chords
Start Jamming...
Okay, I put together this little tune here in C.
I call it Black Mountain Rag for the mandolin.
And the reason I'm doing it in C is because I want to kind of imitate what the guitar
does when they work off the open E string on the C chord.
[A]
[G] [C] And so I started [N] playing around with it and I came up with a little arrangement that works
really well for me in C.
And then next day or so we'll try to do it in the open tuning
that was done originally by Tommy Jackson, the fiddler Tommy Jackson, who did it in the
open A tuning, but I can't do it in the open A tuning because when you crank your G up
to A and your D up to E, I snapped the bridge years ago, so I don't want to do that.
So I'll tune it in open G.
It'll be the same tuning, but it won't be so hard on the instrument.
[C] Anyways, so here's Black Mountain Rag with the mandolin.
