Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 14:28. Guitar chords are provided on-screen.
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of the popular Ralph Stanley bluegrass banjo tune, “Clinch Mountain Backstep.“
There’s an excellent video of Dr. Ralph playing this tune on Pete Seeger’s folk music show back in the 1960’s. Find it here --
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 tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, .
Hope you enjoy.
I have posted this teaching video for instructional purposes only and, in my opinion, it constitutes fair use:
