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.

“Old Greasy Coat” comes from fiddler Edden Hammons and the Hammons Family of West Virginia. John first learned it from Peghead Nation Old-Time Fiddle instructor Bruce Molsky. It’s in the key of A and uses both G naturals and G sharps at times. The second part has some interesting syncopation and triplets.
