Old Dangerfield is one of my favorite Bill Monroe tunes. It has three sections (A,B,C) instead of two. Monroe would add an extra 2/4 bar between the B and C sections that a lot of players omit. I like the added two beats so this arrangement includes them. I’ve kept the arrangement as Scruggs-ish as possible but in order to get some of the key melody notes it’s necessary to venture into some melodic style. This demo is around 90 bpm and up tempo would be closer to 140.

This arrangement is a good exercise for changing positions while trying to keep a consistent tone. The tune is in the key of G and has a similar vibe to Blackberry Blossom though is far less known.
