I am stoked to be able to share a new video with one of my very favorite all-time improvisers - my excellent father, Red Henry! We're sharing some approachable concepts to feel into on this very popular jam session tune. Even to be able to find the simple melody in a higher or lower octave can be a great place to start.
We also touch on scaler concepts, a little bit of chromatics, the staggered texture, and play through the tune a few times with harmony on the beginning and end. Bonus tune at the end! Alabama Jubilee!

![Learn Rawhide on Mandolin! [Bill Monroe] Intermediate Level Lesson
Rawhide can teach a student invaluable knowledge about bluegrass mandolin. From powerful sliding double-stops, to lightning quick runs of notes, to the unusual 3-6-2-5 bridge chords, its chock full with powerful music and is great training for learning by ear.
I learned it about 30 years ago and its still one of my very favorite tunes to play. It was extremely empowering because it imparts so much about how it all works. Remember you can slow the video down on YouTube, pause it and run it back to work out the more complicated phrases. It can take a long time to learn it, but it is worth it!
