![]() ![]() ![]() Some times you have to streamline these type tunes for bluegrass. There are tons of other chords you can put into it but these are basic simplified chords for bluegrass. It just stays longer in F before the last C. So it would look like this- F, C, F, B Flat, F, C, F. You can leave out the last D, G, if you want. I have heard Don do the chords different during the mandolin or fiddle break. I hope this helps.Ĭhords during guitar break -C, G, C, G, Cīack to banjo- C, G, C, F, C, A, D, G, C, begin walk up to FĬhords during mandolin(fiddle) break- F, C, F, B flat, F, D, G, C, F I am not sure if it is the "correct" chords according to the way it was written but they are the chords that Don uses. I love that part and the tabs I have seen so far don't seem to get it exactly right. Is there an easier way I can get those chords? I am a little confused about the part near the end of the B section, where the key sort of climbs up from C to F (I think, not sure). I was thinking of going to the public library and looking for a book of marching band music, hoping to find Under the Double Eagle in there. I would really like to get just the chords for the B section (the part that's in C, or in F when capo-ed at the 5th). I like both styles and would like to know if other similar things are around, where a marching song was arranged in Scruggs/melodic style.Īnd I realize this happened by way of guitar, and most Under the Double Eagle bluegrass is guitar, not banjo. I had never associated military marching band music with bluegrass, so I wondered if anyone knows how this came about. I think it sounds terrific as a banjo arrangement and have decided to learn it, probably just the way it is in the book because it sounds so great.Īnyway, I had never heard of that song (Janet calls instrumentals songs, so I guess it's ok), so I looked it up and found it's an old Austrian marching band composition, which was then recorded by Sousa. The last song in the book is Under the Double Eagle - for some reason it is not included on the CD, but I found it on youtube. I got the Janet Davis book Splitting the Licks last week and have been studying it, and I think it's great. ![]()
