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.

The key-of-E fiddle tune “Glory in the Meeting House” comes from Kentucky fiddler Luther Strong, who recorded it in 1937. John learned his version from fiddler Brad Leftwich, who recorded it with the old-time trio Tom, Brad, and Alice. “Glory in the Meeting House” is in E minor, but to accompany it John uses E chords with no third to give it an ambiguous mountain modal sound.
