"Salty Dog" -- 5-String Bluegrass Banjo Tutorial

Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 16:13. Guitar chords are provided on-screen. This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of the popular Bluegrass tune Salty Dog (a.k.a. Salty Dog Blues, Old Salty Dog Blues) "a folk song from the early 1900s. Musicians have recorded it in a number of styles, including blues, jazz, country music, bluegrass... Music Services, an administrator for music publishers, identifies the song as 'Public Domain,' while the performing rights organizations American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ASCAP) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) list songwriters and composers of over 10 works titled Salty Dog Blues." (Wikipedia) The version I teach here is after Earl Scruggs. On this video I teach the tune lick by lick, phrase by phrase, using 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. Free downloadable tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com. Hope you enjoy.
