A Different Approach to Learning Bluegrass Banjo + Tab for ‘Katie Kline’
There are certainly as many ways to learn to play bluegrass style banjo as my dog has fleas, bless his heart. After playing and teaching banjo for many years, I came up with an approach that is different from any banjo books that I’ve seen. Let me explain.
The most common way to teach a beginner the fundamentals of playing bluegrass banjo is to sit them down and show them the basic rolls. Then the teacher often show the student a tune like “Cripple Creek” or “Bile Em Cabbage Down,” using those rolls. We’ll call this approach the “Roll Method.”

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

‘I Wish I Was A Mole in the Ground’ on Clawhammer Banjo + New Book
I’m ex
cited to announce that my newest book is at the printer. Entitled Clawhammer Banjo – Tunes, Tips and Jamming, the book was at least three years in the making, and I hope that people who want to learn to play in the clawhammer style on the banjo will think it’s a humdinger.
Let’s take one of the tunes in the book for a test drive to see how she handles. “I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground” in an appropriate tune for us to look at because it was the very first tune recorded on
High on a Mountain
by Ola Belle Reed, © Midstream Music (BMI). Used by Permission.
As I looked at the valleys down below,
They were green just as far as I could see.
As my memory turned, oh how my heart did yearn,
For you and the days that used to be.
Chorus:
High on a mountain, wind blowin’ free,
Thinkin’ about the days that used to be.
High on a mountain, standing all alone,
Wonderin’ where the years of my life have flown.
Oh I wonder if you ever think of me,
Or if time has blotted out your memory
As I listen
Down in the Willow Gardens
Down in the Willow Gardens
Down in the willow gardens
Where me and my love did meet;
There we sat a-courting
My love dropped off to sleep.
I had a bottle of burglar’s wine
That my true love did not know.
And there I poisoned my own true love
Down under the banks below.
I drew my saber through her
Which was a bloody knife.
I threw her in the river,
Which was a dreadful sight.
My father always taught me
That money would set me free.
If I would murder that pretty little miss
Whose name was Rose Connally.
Poor Wayfaring Stranger
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
