Hi everyone,
The song of the week is 'Nine Pound Hammer' in the key of B. Here are three jam videos in which I have recorded Nine Pound Hammer in the key of B: one with me on banjo, one with me on mandolin, and on the bottom one (which I recommend starting with), I am on guitar. Beginner Bluegrass Jam Songs - Idaho Bluegrass Association But, an easier way to access the jam videos for Nine Pound Hammer is to click on Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) and then scroll down on the list to the video you want, and it will take you right to the point in the video where the preamble to the song starts. (Note: If no instrument is specified beside the song title, then on that video I am playing guitar.) Below the three jam videos (in the first link), there are two song of the week write-ups for Nine Pound Hammer. The top one is the most relevant to read through, since it deals with playing Nine Pound Hammer in the key of B, whereas the bottom one is a song of the week write-up for Nine Pound Hammer in the key of A. But the most important part of the song of the week write-ups is the listening material: the youtube links to recordings of the song. I highly recommend listening both of the recordings: Lonesome River Band - key of B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tNA13W2cds Tony Rice - key of A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u964a0f38s Also, here is a band recording (from a couple years back at the Bluegrass Open Mic) in which I am playing banjo on Nine Pound Hammer Jason Homey and the Snake River Boys, IBA Open Mic, 2/26/19 - YouTube The song starts at the 8:27 mark in the video.
