Sally Gooden in G is pretty common here in SC, and is generally known as "Black Sally". I don't think that's meant to be racially disparaging, so no one should take it that way.
I've had a lot of success with playing fiddle tunes I don't know out of the chord position, just as I would taking a break for a standard bluegrass tune that I really don't know all that well. Some people look on that as fiddle tune heresy, but to me it gets the job done and makes you think differently about the sounds--or functions, Dasspunk--that you can get out of the chord position. ________________________________ From: Mike Hoffmann <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 19, 2009 9:39:47 AM Subject: Re: Thinking more outside of a Jam Some fiddlers in New England play a Sally Gooden in G, I also have heard Gene Goforth doing it out of G. I really like the idea of learning an A tune in G "in case the banjo player doesn't have a capo." Just another excuse to see how different keys relate/differ from each other.
