The index finger plays the 2nd string, the middle finger plays the 1st string, and the thumb plays the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings. The style is Dock Boggs' 3-finger up picking. Additionally, I often slide into the notes at the 5th fret, 4th string, such as those in measures 5, 11, 13, and 17 (sometimes more, sometimes less). Measures 9 and 18 also contain a simultaneous hammer on and plucked note. They are the same note, so it will sound fine. Measures 5, 11, and 14 contain a figure that consists of a hammer on and plucked note sounding simultaneously. Play it fast or slow-it all sounds great!

Feel free to play with the timing-add an extra beat or so here and there. I have several variations (some subtle, some not so subtle) I play for instrumental breaks, which I hope to commit to tablature. This is the main bit I use to accompany my singing. Notes: "Country Blues," based on the playing of Dock Boggs. Genre: Traditional Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time Difficulty: Intermediate So follow the tab - particularly if you're playing it with other musicians. So the tab won't quite match John's playing at that point in the tune.

He was also kind enough to advise me how to correct the small error. I contacted John who was kind enough to tell me that in his enthusiasm he had played through that part in 4/4. When tabbing I couldn't get that to work with John's melodic arrangement. The fourth bar of the B section of Clinch Mountain backstep changes time signature to 6/4. I think this tab is very close to a fret for fret transcription. It is packed from one end to the other with interesting licks and ideas, but remains true to the original tune. It starts with a down the neck arrangement, followed by melodic and up the neck arrangements, and closes out with two more down the neck arrangements.

Visit John's BHO page to the video of him playing it. Notes: This is wonderful version of Clinch Mountain Backstep from the playing of John Apfelthaler.

Genre: Bluegrass Style: Bluegrass (Scruggs) Tuning: Standard Open G (gDGBD) Difficulty: Expert If you don’t have a Keith tuner on your 4th string, you can just end it with a C note on the 2nd string 1st fret. Finally, in his Outro to the tune Keith used a Keith tuner on the 4th string to go from D to C. Note also that the Intro includes the banjo’s alternating between G7 and Ab Dim, whereas the backing instruments alternated between G7 and Ab7 throughout Part A of the tune. Note that in live performance Keith would start the tune with some appropriate noodling, and I have included a fragment in the tab. It is not a note-for-note copy of Keith’s version, but I did include a number of his nifty ideas, or at least my interpretation of them, that are worth examining. Although TablEdit is primarily intended for guitarists, its also able to manage tablatures for other fretted instruments (bass, banjo, mandolin, lute, etc.). The tab is based on Keith’s arrangement, and it is mostly the way I have played Caravan for the last few decades. Notes: In memory of Bill Keith, whose recording of Duke Ellington’s Caravan on his 1976 album “Something Auld, Something Newgrass” introduced the tune to the world of bluegrass banjo and gob-smacked me when I first heard it.
