This was my Grandpa's favorite tune. I love this tune because it makes us play in a higher position up the neck for the melody.

I learned this tune from the Bing Brothers from West Virginia. This tune melody is addictive !

This is the second break in the tune Snow Shoes of my Sugar Hill solo project Studebaker. The A part has a chordal movement that is fun to play! The B part has a floating lick that brings a nice touch to this variation.

Snow Shoes was one of my Dad's favorite tunes. It can be found on a Tommy Jackson Fiddle LP.  I later recorded this song on my solo guitar album Studebaker.

I take the B part minor chord and substitute a Dominant sounding line in its place.

The B part of my original tune Amanda's Reel.

One of my most requested original tunes. It appeared on my Sugar Hill solo cd Studebaker. It is played in an E position but capoed to the third fret for the key of G.

Solo from the song Short Life of Trouble. This song appears on the Kenny and Amanda Smith Album All I Need.

I learned this version of Big Scioty from the Bing Brothers from West Virginia. They learned it directly from the Hammons Family also from West Virginia. This version is in a floating style.

This solo begins up the neck and has a cool D dominant line that you're going to love!

This variation is packed full of hammer-ons and pull-offs. It also has a slippery,  bluesy section that has some attitude!

The framework solo is similar to the melody the singer would sing.
