Cripple Creek - Up the Neck

Back
  • Up the Neck
  • Key   A
  • Tempo   60 bpm
  • Tuning   GDAE

Let's learn to get up the mandolin neck with a little bit of Cripple Creek! There's no open strings in the arrangement. This is referred to as "closed". It's a bit more challenging, and this one requires some pinky usage, but it will be a movable shape! That means you could scoot it all down 2 frets to play in the key of G, or other keys. You could also move everything up 5 frets and to the string set above to play a reallllly high version of Cripple Creek, a whole octave above!


This strips down great with the slider, and there are some super cool licks to explore!
