The bluegrass jam favorite “Dixie Hoedown” comes from mandolin great Jesse McReynolds and has been recorded by numerous people, including Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Matt Flinner, and many others. But nobody really plays the B part the same way. The version you’ll learn here is based on the way Grisman, Jesse McReynolds, Ronnie McCoury, and others played it on Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza. Joe starts by showing you the A part, phrase by phrase. You’ll also learn the chords to the A part in this video.

Mandolinist Frank Wakefield’s instrumental tune “New Camptown Races” has become a contemporary bluegrass instrumental classic, but the way the melody is played these days is a bit different than the way Frank played it in the early 1960s. In this lesson you’ll learn the way Frank originally played it as well as a more contemporary version based on the way mandolinist Jesse Brock plays it. In this video, Joe plays the whole original version through and then starts breaking down the A part phrase by phrase.
