Genre: Bluegrass / Playing Style: Bluegrass (Scruggs)
Rocky Creek is the first fiddle tune I wrote. In contrast to most standard fiddle tunes this piece has 4 parts and a bridge leading back to the a section. The banjo is played mainly in melodic style except for part D which features single string stuff and irish style triplets. The fiddle part is a combination of classical and fiddle bowingstechniques. As this piece features similar stuff like the A part of Cripple Creek in its B part I decided to call it Rocky Creek. If this title is already occupied by another tune, please tell me. Then I will rename it. Have a guess: What is the tuning of the banjo on this one? This piece can also be played with string orchestra accompaniment which sounds really great, but this version is not recorded yet. Picked on the HUBER BANJO. Hope you enjoy.

Nice tune, sounds more classical. Well played. Is that a G minor tuning you are in? Similar in sound to Kentucky Mandolin to my ears.
