I had a request a minute ago
for an old tune
that the Carter family used to play a long time ago let
me hunt out that that pig yolk that I had now.
Uncle Ben Miller used to call this
thing a pig yolk
that you put on the neck there and I never he
never did explain to me what a pig yolk was
and one time when
I was in California
Bill Monroe told me what it was used to
they built them old rail fences
you know and and
they'd turn the hogs out
in the main pasture where the cattle was when after they passed a
stock law that is
and they had to put them up off
the mash in the woods
but the pig yolk was the thing
that they made out of a little forked
stick
and a piece of leather string
and put it around his neck
so he couldn't crawl
through the cracks of the fence.
Eb
Didn't keep them fenced in,
boy, they'd root up
Eb
Eb
all the corn.
This tune that I was gonna play
that the Carter family
used to play a whole lot, only they,
I think that one of them played
a dobro guitar on this,
and I'm afraid I ain't a dobro picker,
Eb
so I'm gonna have to
pick it another way.
It's a tune called Darling Pal
of Mine.
and they did use the dobro
guitar
Eb
and an autoharp on this.

Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
