Chords for How to play Foggy Mountain Breakdown Up the Neck

_ _ Foggy Mountain Breakdown, the up the neck version.
I do like Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
It's one of the you _ know _
one of the songs most associated with a banjo and
I'm gonna [E] do a choke here
and what a choke is basically you're bending the string or you're lifting up the string and
_ In this case you're doing it on the B _ and you're lifting
_ from the 10th fret
_ Pushing it up until [Bbm] it's the same note [E] as the 11th fret on the B.
So _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now your finger might be strong enough to do with one finger
_ _ _ You might need two fingers behind it because that'll give you a little more power
_ _ _ _ [G] Or you can even do [D] three _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ So it's a [E] bend, bend, _ middle, thumb, index, middle, thumb _ _ _
_ _ _ Then it repeats, [E] _ _
repeats [G] _ _ a third time _
_ _ _ _ _ And then you want to play the portion of the D or the G in the D shape _ _ _ _ _
So it's 9 8
_ Play them together
_ then 6 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ together
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Then you're playing the E minor [Em] in this shape, which is a 9 8 and 9
[G] And [Eb] you want to emulate this.
[Em] _ _ _ _
So what you're gonna do is you're gonna do a [Ab] slide from the 8th fret
_ [Db] On the G string to the [Ebm] 9th. _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now similar to this [Eb] they're both quarter notes
_ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Same with [Eb] this and [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ a forward [G] back roll starting on the high G
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [D] This time you're gonna play the G
And it just repeats _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Instead of doing this
I'm _
[Em] _ _ gonna add just a little bit of [Gm] color by adding
the 11th fret _ on the B string
And [Eb] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] this is a Sally Gooden lick
And you _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ don't have to you can do the same lick as [Eb] we did in the in the previous measure
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I just like adding it because [D] I like making
just slight [Eb] variations _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Repeat of this
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now what you're gonna do is you're gonna slide [D] into a D _ and you're gonna do [Gb] it from the _
9th fret with on the G sliding to the 11th fret
_ _ _ [Em] So it's this shape and all [F] you're gonna do is you're gonna move it up two bars and then this
_ _ _ Ring finger [D] is going to go up one fret.
So it's 12 10 11
_ Which is D? _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You're gonna do [N] another choke here and you're gonna do it on the 11th fret _
_ _ B and you're going to bend [Gm] it up and again you can do
[Gb] _ _ If you if [D] you don't have the power and you're [B] gonna
[G] 12
_ _ _ But you're gonna [E] do _ _ _ _ 12th fret on the D [Gm] string
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ So it's very similar [Am] to this
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But I like to end on the G _ _ so
_ _ _ And I kind of like to [Em] a little bit of color [D] by playing the E minor [Em] on the end note
And what I'm gonna do is with this instead of going _ _
_ so the
_ middle index thumb
_ _ Doing the D string the B string and the G string.
I'm gonna [G] double up _ on the B string
So it goes _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
I'm just hitting the same string with one
[Ab] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Alternates _ _ _ hitting _ _ all _ [C] _
three [G] strings _ so _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] with a little bit of speed it would sound like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ So that's the up the neck version of [Db] Foggy Mountain breakdown
_ _ I've done _ two other variations of it one is a _
_ _ Beginner to intermediate level one is a little closer to the bluegrass version of Byro Scruggs
And of course, there's this and let's see if I [A] can get it
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Em] _ _ There we [Gb] go _
Up there.
So as I said, if you have any questions, please feel free to drop a line to me [N] and
If you want other songs tabbed out and instructional [G] videos, please feel free to ask [D] and
_ Hope that helps you [A] out
Happy picking as always and good
