John adds a drone string to much of the melody of the B part of “Little Liza Jane,” and the first phrase begins with a clawhammer-style rhythm. John walks you through it phrase by phrase and then shows you how to find the melody of the A part an octave up the neck.

The fiddle tune “Hunt the Buffalo” originally comes from Arkansas singer and songwriter Jimmy Driftwood (who is best known for writing songs like “Tennessee Stud” and “The Battle of New Orleans”). But it has evolved quite a bit and most people play it a bit differently these days. John learned “Hunt the Buffalo” while teaching at the Montana Fiddle Camp.
