    I may be totally wrong as I am no expert on BG and OT but isn't it just a version of Cripple Creek ?

    Sounds a little like Eight of Janurary to me, or the Battle of New Orleans which is the same

    It may be similar to "Cripple Creak," but it isn't. Hear the minor in the A part? It may not be anything at all, or it may be something the demonstrator made up. This is from a music store, and he is just playing something so potential buyers can hear what it sounds like. If someone can identify it, OK fine.

    As to tabs, I don't think you will find them (unless someone does come up with a name for this), but you should be able to figure this out. You are getting a real good look at the fingering.

    Good luck! Have fun!

    Sounded vaguely like an out of tune version of Cripple Creek, at least what he played as the first part of the tune sounded like the second part of CC.

    You'd think a music store would own a tuner!

    Its not Cripple Creek, its not 8th of Jan. I don't know what it is, but I know what it ain't. Fun tune. I am going to learn it and see who else knows it this festival season.

    That ain't no part of nothin' as Monroe would say. Cripple Creek.......... it's not even of the same river as Cripple Creek. And in D you can forget it. Sounds to me he is just noddling his signature noodling song so we can all sit here and waste time figuring out what is it he is a doin' .

    Proof positive that there are really only two fiddle tunes.

    It is a catchy tune! I have no idea what song it is. It is definitely not Cripple Creek, so I just called it "Un-Cripple Creek." The chord progression is a bit like the 50s progression of I-vi-IV-V. It uses all of those chords but not in that order.

    Attached is what I came up with. I tried to capture a bit of his ornamentation, i.e., slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. The same guys plays it on three different Breedloves and plays it a little different each time. Seems like a song to me rather than just noodling. But who knows?

    Apparently he's the guy that demos the mandolins, and it's his go-to tune:

    It is pretty different from the "Pigs Foot" I know. Different versions?

    It sure ain't "Gimme A Pig Foot And A Bottle Of Beer." That's fer dam sure!

    If I may be so bold, I believe I surmised its origin back in post #6, and Larry's excellent detective work has borne this out - it's a little ditty the guy diddied up to demonstrate the sounds of the different mandolins the store is trying to sell. It isn't called anything, as far as I know, and it isn't anything anyone else has suggested. What's in a name, anyway? Call it what you will, call it "Sussudio," just play it if you want. What's the diff? For all I know, for all it matters, it could be the actual original "Diddy Wah Diddy." And I wish someone would tell me what that means!

    Now, that is a good sounding Mandolin. I'll take it over the other ones.

    I think part of my detective work has been overlooked. The video says the following:

    "The song is called Mockingbird. It's an original by Eric McKenna Spreng."

    Eric is the guy in the video, and he plays that tune and others in his duo "Big Mirror"

    OH! OK, missed that. But still, the point is, it ain't no part of nothing other than that. I'm stumped why people keep saying it is.

    Yep, Larry wins the detective prize! Pig's foot is a cool tune but it doesn't have a minor chord in it. First chord change in Mockingbird is to a Bm. I don't know Pig's foot but it seems to be good old G-C-D. This is like Mystery Song of the Week.
