5-String Bluegrass Banjo Lesson: "Bile Them Cabbage"

Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 15:00. Guitar chords are provided on-screen. This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of a traditional fiddle standard, "Bile Them Cabbage," a.k.a. "Bile 'Em Cabbage Down," "Boil That Cabbage Down," etc. It's usually played on fiddle in the key of A with lots of double stops and shuffles, and can go quite fast. There have been a ton of versions, among my favorites being the Smothers Brothers' comedy version from 1963 (watch for pumas):    • Smothers Brothers Cabbage 1963   and Clayton McMichen's super fast version from 1937:    • Bile Dem Cabbage Down - Clayton McMichen's...   As usual I teach the tune lick by lick, line by line, providing on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts. I also teach it in two parts, parts A and B, similar to Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, Blackberry Blossom and many other fiddle tunes. Free tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, littlerockbanjo.com. Hope you enjoy.
