Dixie Hoedown
 

The bluegrass jam favorite “Dixie Hoedown” comes from mandolin great Jesse McReynolds and has been recorded by numerous people, including Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Matt Flinner, and many others. But nobody really plays the B part the same way. The version you’ll learn here is based on the way Grisman, Jesse McReynolds, Ronnie McCoury, and others played it on Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza. Joe starts by showing you the A part, phrase by phrase. You’ll also learn the chords to the A part in this video.

The D part of “Jerusalem Ridge” is 12½ bars long and includes some unusual timing and phrasing at the end. Joe plays most of the D part in second position. He walks you through the whole D part showing you his fingering and where he shifts down to first position for the last phrase.
