Okay, here is a version of "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise".  I use the same chords as the Les Paul version. 

There are MANY references to one of my biggest banjo heroes....It shouldn't be too hard to guess which one :P

I kept it pretty traditional with a few bebop runs here and there.  I did even more variations, but I got tired of hearing them...so this is it for now.

Thanks,

Jody Hughes

Fun jazzy listening.  When I hear the chordal patterns going up it makes me want to try and see what you're doing.  Thanks for siting Allen Shelton as an influence in your playing.

That completely ROCKED!!! So I've heard a little Allen Shelton here and there... I'm gonna have to pick up a couple CDs now...

By the way your banjo sounds amazing again... Is that your 70s Gibson?

I wanna hear the ending

I've always liked this tune and I really like the way you've played it. Thanks, Jody - post more!

Thanks,

 Allen WAS one of my biggest influences.  He played lots of diatonic chord runs or added altered notes to the 7th chords (things like b13's)

Diatonic chord runs must be what I've heard, but can't yet define.  I just read about diatonic chord  in a Ryan Cavanaugh interview in BN.  Got any suggestions for an easily understandable resource on this?

I recommend "In the Tradition" by Jim and Jesse, Shelton Special, All the recordings with Jim Eanes.  I got a surprisingly amount of material from the Jim Eanes recordings.  The chord substitutions/walkups are plentiful.

All the recordings on my page are done with the 2006 Gibson Earl Scruggs model.  Gary Sosebee recently made me a Soft Maple bridge for it, this totally made it into another instrument.  I am quite in love with the sound of it these days thanks to my friend Gary.

The 78 RB-250 is on a greatly needed "rest" :)

So Yes, this is an advertisement.........check out Allen Shelton and Sosebee bridges

I don't think "magnificent" is too much of a superlative for this! You're a great player, Jody.

Nice job. Love your phrasing with this piece.

Banjowen - Posted - 08/10/2011:  01:40:57

Wonderful playing......again.

It simply refers to the chords within a Key.  For an example, in the key of C your diatonic chords would be

CMaj, Dmin, Emin, Fmaj, Gmaj/7, Amin, Bdiminished

You can use these chords to CONNECT to one another

Let's say you had a measure of C going to Fmaj; you could play C / Dmin Emin then F, using those diatonic chords as a walkup. Even though the guitar player is just playing C to F, you can still add in those other ones because they resolve to the F and belong to the key.  I actually do this in the up the neck part on this song.
