"Love Somebody" (Soldier's Joy) Lesson
Added 2021-01-22 16:30:01 +0000 UTCThis tutorial demonstrates two traditional approaches (in two traditional tunings) to the early banjo song, "Love Somebody," which is mostly known today as "Soldier's Joy." I learned it originally in gCGCD from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. Recently, however, I came up with a new two-finger arrangement in gCGCE.
According to Gibson, "Love Somebody" was once the preferred title of this tune, especially among black musicians in southeastern Kentucky.
