The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Learn Sunny Side of the Mountain for mandolin. This arrangement is in the style of Vernon Derrick, who played mandolin for Jimmy Martin: "The King of Bluegrass". It covers just the kickoff of the song, which is the instrumental intro.
Vernon had several distinct hallmarks of his style. There's a lot of triplets and syncopated rhythms. To play those accurately and not get off beat, or mess up your picking pattern you should pay attention to the pick directions in the mandolin tablature and use the focus feature to listen to and practice measures with the triplets.
Vernon also played a lot of licks that doubled or mimicked the banjo. Listen to the original recording to hear this in action.
