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.

In this lesson, you’ll learn a version of “Liza Jane” that John learned from fiddler Rafe Stefanini, who played the tune in AEAE cross tuning on the fiddle. John plays it in GDGD tuning on the mandolin, which allows you to add drone strings to the simple melody.
