5-String Bluegrass Banjo Lesson: "Bile Them Cabbage"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2018
- Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 15:00. Guitar chords are provided on-screen.
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of a traditional fiddle standard, "Bile Them Cabbage," a.k.a. "Bile 'Em Cabbage Down," "Boil That Cabbage Down," etc. It's usually played on fiddle in the key of A with lots of double stops and shuffles, and can go quite fast. There have been a ton of versions, among my favorites being the Smothers Brothers' comedy version from 1963 (watch for pumas):
• Smothers Brothers Cabb...
and Clayton McMichen's super fast version from 1937:
• Bile Dem Cabbage Down ...
As usual I teach the tune lick by lick, line by line, providing on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts. I also teach it in two parts, parts A and B, similar to Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, Blackberry Blossom and many other fiddle tunes.
Free tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy.

can't wait to get home and grab my banjo. Fantastic lesson, thanks.
This was the first time I ever heard this song and my next song to learn.
I have an old banjo six strings and through your lesson, i managed to adapt it cause you are been very very clarity!
Really enjoyed this one. So many “beginners versions” ( I must have at least five), seem to lack lustre. Like the second part 2-3 hammer ons, helps give the song a bit more interesting feel. I really appreciate how much I’ve learned from your videos. Being a Brit & trying to learn songs that aren’t known to me has been at times,daunting to say the least. Learning at home with pages of tab’s that don’t give a ‘feel’ for the energy of the music is like looking at a wall of common bricks.
A huge thank you for helping me along my journey, very much appreciated.
That was a very nice tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
Very cool arrangement Bill. This isn't one of my favorites to try and play but your version sounds very nice! I am going to give it a whirl... Thank you very much for your time, talent and unselfish sharing!!!
Very nice job!
Thank you for the tab Bill.
Them cabbage turn into bile after you eat them🤣 I found how you place your pinky next to the bridge interesting. As a 4 week beginner I’m still struggling with where it’s most comfortable. I have even taped my ring finger and pinky together to try to train them to stay together. I’m 60 so it’s gonna take some time. I like your teaching method.

boiled cabbage becomes rather sweet like cooked onions, and so it make chitterlings, and other bullshit meat given to them, a rather good soup that they ate nearly 100% of the time with a normal meal once a month or so
