Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 10:22. Guitar chords are provided on-screen. Remember, basic guitar rhythm for 3/4 time songs is "Pick (bass note)-Strum-Strum, Pick-Strum-Strum."
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of the popular Bluegrass / Old Time song "All the Good Times Are Past and Gone."
"The origin of this tune has never been confirmed, but the earliest recording of All The Good Times Have Passed and Gone was made in 1930 by Fred and Gertude Gossett, who did not claim they wrote it. Many versions have since been recorded and the tune is now considered both a Bluegrass and an Old Time standard. It appears to be an American folksong from the turn of the 20th century, but it could be much older than that." (Folkslingers.com)
On this video I teach the tune lick by lick, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts.
Free downloadable tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy.
