By Wayne Erbsen

People are always searching the Internet for the easiest way to play the banjo. Who can blame them? Aren’t we all looking for the easiest way to do things? Many of them end up on this website, and find the article Banjo Chords. This article demonstrates that with two- and three-finger chords, the beginner can play thousands of bluegrass, folk, and gospel songs.

Pretty Polly

Rural Roots of Bluegrass by Wayne Erbsen

Rising to the top of the most well-known murder ballad in bluegrass music is “Pretty Polly.” Based on an actual murder, legends tell that the cruel murder of Pretty Polly was at the hands of a ship’s carpenter by the name of John Billson near Gosport, England. The ballad was first printed in about 1727 as “The Gosport Tragedy,” and sung to the tune of “Peggy’s Gone Over Sea.” It tells the chilling tale of Billson’s murder of his pregnant girlfriend and the flight aboard the ship M.M.S. Bedford. The story takes a haunting turn when the seaman Charles Stewart

The Ballad of Frankie Silver

Her real name was Frances Steward Silver, but they all called her Frankie. The words chiseled into her tombstone give us a chilling reminder of what this story is about: “Frankie Silver, Only Woman Ever Hanged in Burke County, Morganton, July 2, 1833.”

I first heard about this strange chapter of North Carolina folklore from a mountain man named Bobby McMillan, whom I met when I lived in Hickory, North Carolina in the mid-1970’s. Because he was the third cousin to Charlie Silver, the man Frankie was accused of killing, Bobby had been collecting stories, songs and lore about Frankie

Darling Cory

Clawhammer banjo for the complete ignoramus cover

Darling Cory

Wake up, wake up, darlin’ Cory,
What makes you sleep so sound
When the revenours are comin’
Goin’ to tear your still house down?

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Go and dig you a hole in the meadow
Gonna lay darlin’ Cory down.

Go away, go away, darlin’ Cory
Stop hangin’ around my bed
Bad liquor destroyed my body,
Pretty women’s gone to my head.

Don’t you hear them bluebirds a-singing’?
Don’t you hear their mournful sound?
They are preachin’ Cory’s funeral
In some lonesome graveyard

Little Birdie

Little Birdie

Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing to me your song.
I’ve a short time for to be here
And a long time to be gone.

I’d rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Than to see you with another
And to know that you’d never be mine.

Married woman, married woman
Why don’t you settle down
You are like a little birdie
A-flyin’ all around.

I don’t want your greenback dollar
I don’t want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart darlin’
Won’t you take me back.

Little birdie,

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

Clawhammer banjo for the complete ignoramus cover

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
traveling through this world of woe
But there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In this bright world to which I go.

I’m going there is see my father,
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m just a going over Jordan,
I’m just a going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed their vigils keep.

I’m going there to see my mother
She said’ she’d meet me when I come

Well I married me a wife she gave me trouble all my life
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow.

Well she came down the stairs combing back her long yeller hair
And her cheeks were as red a rose.

Well I did all I could do try to get along with you
And I’m not gonna be treat this a way.

Well she came in the room where she met her fatal doom
And I’m not gonna be treat this a way.

Wild Bill Jones

Wild Bill Jones

As I went out for to take a little walk
And I walked upon that Wild Bill Jones
He was walkin’ and talkin’ by my true lover’s side
I forbid him for to leave her alone

He says my age it is just twenty-one,
Too old for to be controlled
I drew my revolver from my side
I destroyed that poor boy’s soul.

Well he kicked and he staggered boys he fell to the ground
And he give one dying groan
I throwed  my arms around my true lover’s neck
Saying baby you’ll be left alone.

I’ve

Bluegrass Music & Old-Time Music: What’s the Difference?

Rural Roots of Bluegrass

Bluegrass music evolved from an earlier type of country music we now call old-time music. As it’s commonly played, old-time music is a mostly instrumental stringband style with a beat that’s designed for square dancing. As such, the music is spirited and upbeat.

The main lead instrument in old-time music is the fiddle. The fiddler normally chooses the tunes, sets the rhythm, begins the tune, and signals to the other musicians when the tune will end. Another key ingredient in old-time music is the banjo, which is played in what is called “clawhammer style.” This is a rhythmic style with
