The Mason's Apron: Clawhammer Banjo Tablature

I started fooling around with this Irish reel in the key of A on mandolin tonight, and decided to see how well it might transpose to clawhammer banjo. This is a fairly literal arrangement and not actually very clawhammer-y, but on the other hand it's not terribly tricky as far as "melodic clawhammer" arrangements go. That's not to say I can play it very well yet myself - but now I have something to work from. PDF and TablEdit versions are available below.

Crookneck John: Angeline the Baker

Old-time tune performed by Crookneck John.

Recorded tonight on an iPhone using Four Track, slightly mixed with Garageband. I should really re-record the guitar part, but it’s getting late.
