Some Old Day
 
This great Flatt and Scruggs song was recorded by JD Crowe and the New South on their classic self-titled album, with Tony Rice singing lead. It's a great example of a medium tempo bluegrass song played with a country swing feel. You'll learn a strum pattern that helps accent the swing feel, as well as some bass runs to use at the ends of phrases. Scott plays the song in D and looks at some different ways to finger the A and A7 chords. Finally, he sings the whole song through so you can play along with him.

Banjo player Bill Evans joins Scott in this video so you can see how some of the bass runs and the accented strum you learned in Part 1 sound behind a soloist. Scott also talks about the importance in a bluegrass band of locking in with the banjo, since the banjo player is often playing a steady stream of eighth notes. To get the groove right, the guitar player’s eighth notes need to have the same amount of swing (or no swing) as the banjo player. Then Scott and Bill play through “I’ll Stay Around.”
