Notes: This tab is from Charlie Provenza's recorded lessons with Jethro Burns. It is Track 4 of the collection. Set TablEdit to display 4 bars per page, and display chords as text only.
There are 2 solos, plus a set of chords approximately in the rhythm that Jethro played at the end of the recording. The 16th notes are mostly notional, representing long notes in the melody. Jethro would use a variety of rhythms for this, including 8ths, 16ths, triplets, fast tremolo, etc., depending on what he felt in the moment. The first solo starts at the end of the first line, to keep the chord pattern the same throughout the tab.

Notes: Tennessee Blues was Bill Monroe's first original composition on the mandolin. It is deceptively simple, and the rhythm is subtle and a bit tricky. The tablature is an approximation of the version Monroe played in the mandolin workshop at the first Fincastle (Roanoke) Bluegrass Festival, Fincastle VA in 1965. Or it may be from the second Fincastle Festival, in 1966. There are some inaccuracies in the tapes floating around on the internet.

Notes: Many years ago, someone paid me to take a Bela Fleck tune (Texas Bar-Be-Que), take the Banjo Newsletter tab and copy it into Tabledit, so folks could 'hear the tab' (circa 2008)...
Today, my gal Janie and I were out grocery shopping and "Texas Bar-Be-Que" kept popping into my head... I figured that meant I should try to work out a mandolin version and work them into a cooperative arrangement.
This is that arrangement...

Notes: This is the Mandolin part edited out of the previous BANJO-MANDO arrangement...
Having said that, since this is my arrangement of Bela's copy of Blaine Sprouse's tune, i.e., I made up the mandolin part to match the banjo part as close as possible, I did a little editing to remove overly repetitive parts which makes this mandolin version 'pop' a little better than the other one right now.
(I plan on doing the same thing to the mandolin part in the Banjo-Mandolin version in a minute or two)...
