“Sally Gooden” Texas-Style, Part 1
Texas fiddler Eck Robertson’s 1922 recordings were probably the first country music recordings, and his version of “Sally Gooden,” with around a dozen variations on the melody, became a classic and a favorite of fiddlers everywhere. In this lesson, you’ll learn Chad’s Texas-style version of “Sally Gooden,” which was influenced by Oklahoma fiddler Orville Burns and Texas fiddlers Terry Morris and Benny Thomasson. It’s an elaborate version that presents some technical challenges because it relies on a lot of consecutive three-note slurs as well as drones using your pinky. Chad walks you through it phrase by phrase, and even bow stroke by bow stroke, and gives you tips on keeping your pinky droning through the whole tune. In this video, you’ll learn the A part and a variation, A2.
