How To Play 'Triple J Hoedown' Part 2 Tutorial With Josh Smith
LIVE FROM FLAT V by Josh Smith
LET IT RING
Last time, Josh Smith started teaching his tune “Triple J Hoedown,” specifically the version from the Live at the Spud album. The lesson made it all the way up to almost the bridge, which leads the way into a long unison lick, played by both guitar and bass, which is then followed by the funk section of the tune. So, as a composition, we transition from “bluegrass-fusion” to a funk groove.

00:00All right, Josh Smith here again.
00:07Last month we started talking about my tune Triple J Hoedown, the version from Live at
00:11the Spud album, and we made it all the way up to almost the bridge.
00:16We were working our way towards this big long unison lick that gets played, and we lean
00:21into the funk section of the song, so we kind of transition from bluegrass fusion, I guess,
00:27to kind of a funk groove, and we played this big ascending lick.
00:49So from there we go back to the intro, and then we play this big lick.
01:12So that's a big walk-up lick, kind of similar to the earlier one, but it starts on C.
01:17Then we play that syncopated lick, leading to F, we're modulating to F.
01:29So here it is slow.
01:35So we're basically walking up through the scale, and then we play this G to F thing
01:47four times, and here I know that goes crazy, and then we head over to F.
02:00I normally have the Leslie off for that section, and we get into kind of the funky section,
02:15Travis Carlton playing bass like a mofo in that section, and we vamp on the F, and then
02:21we get into the drum solo section, which I'm not going to tab out for you, but we basically
02:25play this phrase, and Gary plays drums through that, and basically we work our way out of
02:39it back into the bluegrass phrase, and then we're up to my solo, which is like an open
02:49section over the key of G, where a lot goes on, and maybe we should do that in the next
02:55column.
