Bluegrass Jam Songs Bluegrass songs often have varying lyrics from version to version. Included here are an approximation of lyrics that will get you through most jams. Don't get too concerned if the verses come up in a different order or if some lyrics are different. It all follows the same structure - and that's what's most important in a jam. Speaking of structure, bluegrass songs typically follow a verse/chorus pattern. In the following tunes, the chorus is indented and only written out once - to save space. It should be repeated and inserted where appropriate. Additionally, instrumental breaks usually follow the structure of the verse. The following tunes have been transcribed in a "transposed" version for instruments using a capo, a "concert pitch" version for instruments not using a capo, and a "nashville" version that uses chord numbers instead of letters. They have been formatted in a PDF file so that they're easy to download and view on one sheet. The video links should match the key provided for that tune so you can play along. Some older recordings might be slightly off from our electronic A=440 standard tuning. *Please send a message if any "dead" links turn up. Since the videos are sourced from YouTube, their owners may occasionally make changes that have impacts here. **More songs are coming. Please send a message if you'd like a particular tune in this format.

Dobro/Resonator Capos Shubb C6b - This is often the "first" capo for dobro players because it is so similar in form to a traditional guitar capo - in cost as well . One major advantage to this style capo is that the brass bar sits on top of the fret so it is always accurately lined up to play in tune. A considerable disadvantage is that each capo needs to be adjusted and set up for the guitar it is going to be used on. If you're using a Shubb, consult their website to make sure it is properly adjusted for the resonator guitar on which it's being used. Charlie's Slide Pro Capo - This capo ignores the neck of the guitar and attaches directly to the strings. Charlie's capo also has great one-handed adjustment with the wedge mechanism it uses to tighten the capo to the strings. It is small but heavy - a good thing - to get the most tone out of the instrument. Since it is attached only to the strings, a tuner - or very good ear - is essential to making sure it is positioned in the correct place. Sometimes perspective can cause it to be askew. It is expensive, but is sold directly from the manufacturer so there's never the hunt to find it "in stock" somewhere. *Not Pictured - Beard Wave Capo - This capo functions in a similar manner to Charlie's. The main difference is that the Beard Wave uses a screw/wheel to tighten the capo to the strings. This capo is a little more refined looking than Charlie's, is slightly more affordable, but can be difficult to find "in stock" at this time.

Banjolele/Ukulele Ukuleles are not part of the typical bluegrass ensemble. Due to a renewed popularity in the United States, they are becoming more common at bluegrass jams. A major hurdle for ukes is the ability to be heard in such a large group. The combination of the small size and nylon strings makes projecting the sound quite a challenge. One solution to this is playing a banjolele. It is the same size and tuning as a ukulele but being built on a banjo body means that it is typically louder and projects better than a traditional ukulele. If a banjolele isn't an option, then using larger ukulele sizes like tenor- or concert-sized ukuleles could be helpful. Left - Stella Banjolele - This banjolele was built in the heyday of banjo ukes in the 1920s. It has been upgraded with Ratio Tune-A-Lele Ukulele Tuners . The original "friction" tuners did not hold the tension of the strings very well. These upgraded tuners are "geared" but have a very small footprint. Right - Harmony Baritone Ukulele - Baritone ukuleles are tuned like the top 4 strings of a guitar - DGBE. This one has been upgraded with Grover geared ukulele tuners .
