Me just trying to play on a new tuning

Tunaday #180 - In Darling Cora tuning (gCGCC). A three part tune with three strings tuned to C, hence the title.

Known as both Little Nell and Poor Little Nell; via Rick Abrams, via Marvin Gaster, via Henry Perry.

Tunaday #6 - In Double C tuning (gCGCD). Has a more old-timey feel than my usual stuff.

Any music teachers out there have any advice to offer on how to improve? I am particularly fond of minutes 5:25 off and on till the end? I would like to sound like that usually, but better, obviously. Any tips?

Sally in the Garden

This fun song is the old-time Tune of the Week for 2/1/19, a day before Groundhog Day.

When you first hear this tune it's through the bandmates of the John Hartford String Band after John had passed. It's a gorgeous piece, like a symphony. I think it will take me years to really learn it.
