I have been trying to use simple tunes that I know as learning tools. This is my attempt at an interpretation of Banks of the Ohio. I hope you enjoy my try at it. Hopefully I didn't mess up the melody too badly.

Nice job! I assume you are playing it in G?

Thanks Rob! Yep, I am playing it in G. Would be a good exercise for me to learn it in other keys too.

Nice job! One of my old favorites and the first song I learned to play on the mountain dulcimer, years ago. I have never tried it on the dobro, but I am going to give it a go. I have played it a little on the lap steel and it sounds pretty good (to me) on that instrument as as well. Thanks for playing that for us.

Frank: Nice version and played clean. I play it in the key of D, next time I'm in NC maybe we can hook up and share versions.
