So, I want to learn to play in Bb, and I really like this tune, so I want to learn it. Does anyone know of a good video tutorial for it? I can learn from tab, but I prefer video instruction.
Thanks

The tab is in the classic Bluegrass Mandolin book by Jack Tottle, no video though.

I don't have any money to spend on instructional materials. I can learn from even non-tutorial video if you can see both hands

It’s on peghead nation in Joe Walsh’s course. The first 30 days is free. https://pegheadnation.com/string-sch...jam-favorites/
You can also check out The Bluegrass College website: http://www.bluegrasscollege.org/ and its youtube links to instructional videos for this tune:

Lots of great stuff on their website.
Tab is still available for three versions of this tune including Frank Wakefield's on the old Mandozine site as a Tabledit file.
Personally, I find it easier slow the tune down (I use Amazing Slow Downer) and learn my ear but everyone is different.
Bb is not so hard on the mandolin. I am simultaneously trtingh to learn a few tunes in that key on both fiddle and mandolin. It helps sometimes to switch off using the mandolin to train my ear to what it should sound like.

Really nice, thanks MATT FLINNER!
I suggest Muleskinner with Dsavid Grisman on mandolin, although a little too fast. Easily found on Youtube, and you can slow it down to half speed.
For further explorations in Bb try Sailor's Hornpipe, sits very nicely in that key (Kenny Baker insisted on Bb when Bill Keith brought it to the Bluegrass Boys; once you've tried it you will understand why).
And Cheyenne, tab, notation and MIDI on mandozine.com. Try turning off the SN and Tab at first listen, just to see how much you can get of an general outline of the tune before going into details
The Gold Rush is in A, but I like doing it in Bb. Sometimes it's a worthwhille exercise, transposing familiar songs or tunes to less familiar keys, by ear, not by "figuring" (another one is St Anne's Reel, from D to Eb).
One non-BG song I really like doing in Bb, is Zambesi.
Ok thanks. I actually play St. Anne's reel in E frequently, it's a good pinky workout
