Arab Bounce Mandolin Tablature: One Song, Many Styles
Recomended level: Intermediate
Arab Bounce is a great instrumental tune that was written by Vernon Derrick. Vernon wrote this tune while he was playing mandolin and fiddle for the King of Bluegrass - Jimmy Martin. While this was originally a mandolin tune it has also become popular on the banjo. There's lots of great versions to check out.
The Bluegrass - Simple version is a great place to start. It will be easier for beginners, but it will also show seasoned players the important notes they'll need to focus on bringing out in more complex versions. Learning a bare bones version also serves as a great springboard for improvisation, creativity, and gives you something easy to play at breakneck speeds.
