![]() ![]() In any case, several years ago I finally worked up an arrangement of my own, and I just got around to the tablature, posted here. Steve Arkin has stated that Bill Keith had an arrangement of the song in the early 1960s, although I have never heard Keith’s version (and would love to, if anybody has a recording). Notes: Mr Sandman was recorded by the Chordettes in 1954, although it had previously been recorded by Vaughn Monroe - no relation to Bill Monroe, I think – and his Orchestra in the same year.

The rest fell on my 40+ years experience playing guitar, reading music, transcribing experience and finally banjo playing ability.Īnd being very familiar with Tony's amazing musical senses and guitar playing abilities. I could never have figured this tune out by ear alone, so Rick Diesel's copy from a guitar original helped get us on the road and on the right path. I also found that the addition of a few hammers and pull-offs (slurs) made certain passages flow better, so I added those. In those few cases, I moved those parts to the open position, making sure simultaneously, that they 'fit in' with what preceeded and followed those sections, for smooth playing throughout. ![]() In the end, I found that a lot of what was being played 'in position' was just as easy, if not easier, to play in open position. If I lost a note due to being out of the banjo's register (C natural or an A, on the low end), I moved that note UP an octave. Notes: I took the Manzanita Guitar transcription that was here, added a banjo staff and basically copied everything over initially.
