It’s in the B Part (fifth and sixth measures) where the melodic contour branches in one of two directions – either dipping down from the fifth (A) to the tonic (D)/D chord, or, as Paul Warren played it (New Five Cents), using a G-note double-stop with a B-note)/G chord, then up to an A-note/A chord and moving upwards happily in major second intervals. This variation is found in both Old Time and Bluegrass versions and a G chord is sometimes played in these spots. ![]() ![]() The A Part is pretty close in most versions with one noticeable variation – either dipping down to an A-note or rising up to F# in the second and sixth measures. The titles create confusion since there are two main branches in Old Time and further regional, local and bluegrass variants. Notes: Here is a straightforward setting using Double D tuning (Double C-Capo II) for the Old Time reel that goes under interchangeable titles. Many (but not all) Old Time versions (‘New Five Cents’, ‘Ruffled Drawers’ or ‘Buffalo Nickel’) tend to keep dipping down to the low D-note/D chord and use fewer chords than Bluegrass versions which are based on Paul Warren’s version.ĭownload: JPEG - Download from Notes: Here is the setting (for my mp3) using Double D tuning (Double C-Capo II) for ‘New Five Cents’, the Old Time reel that goes under interchangeable titles. ![]() Genre: Traditional Style: Other Key: D Tuning: Double C (gCGCD) Difficulty: Intermediate The melody is spread across the main strings, and the drone is used more sparingly. The index finger plays the 2nd string, the middle finger plays the 1st string, and the thumb plays the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings. The style is Dock Boggs' 3-finger up picking. Additionally, I often slide into the notes at the 5th fret, 4th string, such as those in measures 5, 11, 13, and 17 (sometimes more, sometimes less). Measures 9 and 18 also contain a simultaneous hammer on and plucked note. They are the same note, so it will sound fine. Measures 5, 11, and 14 contain a figure that consists of a hammer on and plucked note sounding simultaneously. Play it fast or slow-it all sounds great! Feel free to play with the timing-add an extra beat or so here and there. I have several variations (some subtle, some not so subtle) I play for instrumental breaks, which I hope to commit to tablature. This is the main bit I use to accompany my singing. Notes: "Country Blues," based on the playing of Dock Boggs.
