Why You Been Gone So Long - Clarence & Roland White version from Live in Sweden 1973

Details

Description

Here’s Why You Been Gone so Long, the Mickey Newbury song that first appeared in bluegrass form on the New Kentucky Colonels album Live in Sweden 1973. I’ve transcribed Clarence White’s guitar breaks, Roland White’s mandolin, and the vocal parts for a class I’m about to teach on Clarence’s guitar work on this seminal album, recorded merely two months before his tragic and untimely death.

The class meets for five Sundays on Zoom, from March 5 - April 2. The 5pm ET section is full so I’ve just added a 3pm ET section and as of now there are a handful of openings in the noon ET section. Please DM if you’d like to reserve a spot or have any questions. Full info is here in my 2023 Online Course Schedule:

We will be diving deep into Clarence’s lead and rhythm playing on 10 songs: Why You Been Gone So Long, I’m Blue I’m Lonesome, A Good Woman’s Love, Blackberry Blossom, Take a Whiff on Me, Soldier’s Joy/Black Mountain Rag, I Know What it Means to Be Lonesome, The Last Thing On My Mind, and The Prisoner’s Song. In addition to live instruction students will receive detailed transcriptions plus learning videos, multitrack audio, and access to Zoom class recordings for review. Two sessions feature very special guest visits: one from flatpicking giant David Grier who was mentored by Clarence as a young person. The other is Alan Munde who played banjo on the album and will share firsthand experiences of making this music.
