Cluckin’ Hen

Posted By : admin
Comments : 5

I've started a new banjo tune (and tab) of the week over on youtube. For the inaugural edition I chose the "Cluckin' Hen", a tune that I first heard Mac Benford play (on banjo) several years ago, and have been playing ever since. The tune comes from J.P. Fraley, and his gorgeous version on fiddle can be heard here (DDAE tuning).

And here's the video:

I haven't received any requests to add this one on the old-time jam player, but there's a good possibility you'll see it pop up at some point. 😉

    Really liked this tune and the fiddling by JP Fraley is awesome. Tried to play along with him just too quick!

      Hey Rich – Thanks! Just sent you an email with the tab.

    As new banjo tabs are added could you please also add corresponding mandolin tabs?

      Yep – every tune that’s added to the old time jam machine (this particular tune isn’t part of the jam machine, I just thought banjo enthusiasts who are here would enjoy it) will have a banjo tab and mando/fiddle tab for lifetime members.
