![]() For variety, I created some up-the-neck variations for the third time through before returning to the theme the last time around. The first time I play through the tune, I play it straight, but the second time through, I play the “A” variation. Towards the end of the recording, Wilson plays a variation on the “A” part. The “A” and “C” parts repeat, but the “B” part is only played once. I have recorded the tune with the “A” part first, the “B” part second, and the “C” part third. Wilson’s recording actually starts on what I would call a fragment of the “B” part, and then goes to the “C” part, before going to the “A” part. That was the only trail at that time through Virginia and they named the town Dublin”’. Wilson says, “that tune was composed about Dublin, Virginia. The album notes say this: ‘The title has been used for at least one jig and a polka, presumably referring to the Irish city. When I worked it out on the fiddle, it seemed to fit best with the fiddle tuned “GDgd”. Wilson plays this tune in the key of G on the recording. Meade and Mark Wilson, 1975, re-released on CD in 2005. Wilson recorded “Rocky Road to Dublin” on “The Right Hand Fork of Rush’s Creek”, Rounder Records 0047, recorded and produced by Guthrie T. I did not know Wilson well, but he had a fierce feeling and a deep passion for old-time music that was moving and inspiring. We were looking for Wilson, and happened to stumble upon David Morris, who arranged a meeting. Sometime in the early 1980’s, Kate Brett and I decided to visit some older players in West Virginia. Wilson was born in 1922 on a farm in rural Clay County in an area known as Rush Fork. Notes: This version of Rocky Road to Dublin comes from Fiddler Wilson Douglas of Clay County West Virginia.

It is mostly based on chords and follows a typical 12 bar blues. The second solo break is is based on the guitar break but transferred to banjo to make it easier. The fourth verse is simply a repetion of the second verse, because I had no inspiration to develop it further. This variation sounds good even without guitar back-up. The third verse is a more chordal version with melody and back-beat chords on the banjo. The first solo break is based on the guitar break but transferred to banjo to make it easier. The second verse is a up-the-neck variation of the melody where I tried to incorporate some basic threefinger rolls. The tab (TablEdit and midi files) contains a simple guitar back-up. I also included banjo versions of the guitar breaks. It is some kind of three-finger with some easy Scruggs licks. This tab contains the main melody and some suggestions for variations following the main melody. The song is an easy 12 bar blues and it is rather easy to play back up- just follow a boogie-woogie pattern or a 12 bar blues pattern, and it is easy to improvise around the tune. It was first recorded by Italian-American band Sonny Dae and His Knights on March 20, 1954, and Haley recorded it the first time April 12, 1954. Myers around 1952 and first recorded by and recorded by Bill Hailey in April 1954 on Decca. Notes: This a a tab of Bill Hailey' Rock Around Clock.

Tuning Open-G, Lowered 5th string, PLAY WITH CAPO on 4 (without using a capo on the 5th string). They are similar, but have some differences, mainly that this one sounds more country (in my personal opinion) NOTE: This is based of of Taylor Swift's 'Red (Original Demo Recording)' that can be found on her RED Deluxe Edition CD. Hope it sounds okay and thanks so much to anyone using it, it honestly means so much!!! :) xx ![]() I'm just glad i am able to share it with you guys. The only problem of mine would be that I just could not for the life of me figure out how to make using the computer so i did it the old fashion way, everyone else's tabs look MUCH neater then mine does but i don't care, personally. ![]() I spent about 2 hours trying to get the tuning and the basic chords right, then about 5-7 hours actually writing it down.then about 1-2 hours going through it over and over and over again trying to make sure that it sounds ok. Notes: I tabbed this MYSELF, so it might not look perfect. ![]()
