Trying to learn this Fred Cockerham tune on the mando and would appreciate any tips. Fred plays it with his banjo tuned to Ab so I moved it down to G.
I've got a rudimentary melody line down but I'm trying to work in the low drones which Fred can do since he's using 2-3 fingers. It's a bit of a bear using only a pick.
Anybody ever tackle something like this? Any tips, shortcuts, or techniques to pass on?
Absolutely killer tune, though. If I can nail it, it'll sound fantastic--very moody, old and bluesy.
