Key of C – Double C Tuning - gCGCD
In this, Tunetorial number 25, Dan "Clawdan" Levenson teaches the tune Rocky Pallet. The Skillet Lickers is the most often named source for this tune and you can hear them play an over 5 minute version on Skillet Lickers volume 1 (Document 8056).
As in past weeks, Dan plays the tune and break down sections on the fly. He has again included a fiddle version at the beginning so you can hear how it goes.
This tune is tabbed out in Dan's book Old Time Festival Tunes for Clawhammer Banjo (MB 20313) which is a collection of over 100 tunes that show up at most festivals and jams.
You can purchase the video lesson (for unlimited streaming and download) here on the Banjo Hangout for $6.
Dan and I would love to hear any feedback you have on these videos, so feel free to post or email us. Our goal here is provide a steady, affordable way for people to learn a new clawhammer tune weekly (or as often as they'd like).
It would be great to hear some of your versions so far so post them here for all to hear!
