I've substitued D7 for the D chord since it is easier to transition from E minor to D7. The 1st pages of this tab is a basic melody key, and the 2nd page is my clawhammer interpretation in 3/4 time. A haunting melody, in standard G tuning and played in the Key of E minor. Notes: A simplified tab of "We Three Kings", a classic traditional Christmas song written in 1857 and published in 1863.

Let me know if you like it or not, any feedback is welcome, feel free to comment! David plays a kind of two-finger thumb-lead, and the thumb brushes nearby strings now and again :)Īs usual it sounds quite rigid in guitar pro, but should come out fairly accurate on the banjo. This is just to hint that you don't have to play it note by note like a scholar. It might seem like a lot of stuff is going on in the tab since I've put in a few "ghost notes". I would recommend listening to his version of the song to find variations that you might want to use when playing this yourself. In the video David plays it a little different each verse, as usual. I've just made a straight-forward tab, and to make it simpler/smaller, I've just tabbed one variation of the verse, and used it throughout the song. Notes: A tab of David Eugene Edwards style of playing wayfaring stranger, based on a video of him playing it on youtube (link in tab).

Has some funky rolls that I like to throw in there just to mess up banjo players and to make listeners say "huh?". It is in the key of C, standard G tuning.
It does NOT include the second part, which is a throw-over from Don Reno's recordings of the tune (my inspiration) in which the key changes to G and the fiddle does the second part. This one is a completely banjo version, with 4 breaks, the last being a slight variation on the first. Notes: A much better version of Washington & Lee Swing than my last, which had a lot of mistakes in it.
