Does anyone know where I can find the standard notation or tab for John Hartford's "My Rag". #The chords are easy since he recites them in the song. #The tune - not too easy to learn by ear.

Bee, I can't find a chart of any kind for this but how are you at figuring out by ear with a transcribing program? The reason I ask is because the tune is not really too hard to sound out, but it's just a little fast to get it at normal speed. I use The Amazing Slow Downer which allows slowing without changing pitch, or tuning up or down by cents so you can dial an old song which is "between" keys into pitch with your mandolin.
Theory geek note: What John calls a Gb in the song should be called F# because of the key signature! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
