I thought that in this post I would follow up with a sound file for the same arrangement.<br /><br />The song is played at a fairly moderate tempo but does not drag in anyway.<br /><br />Listen closely for that slide all the way up the neck to get a sense of what your trying to accomplish as you practice this piece.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">You'll also notice that the song is played in the 'key of D' giving you a much different sound on the banjo than we are normally used to hearing when the banjo is played out of a G position. The capoed fifth string along with the different chord inversions we encounter in this key make for a unique sound that is especially pleasing for this particular piece. You might like it so much that you will think I purposfully chose to play it in D for this reason, but in fact, I chose D because my voice feels most comfortable there with this song.<br /><br />So here it is: <a href="http://geocities.com/stfriesen/highonamt.mp3">High On A Mountain</a><br /><br />Keep at it!</span>Sheldon Friesenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066440763528899923noreply@blogger.com
