Long Haired Country Boy Mandolin Tutorial with Tabs

Here’s a look at how to play the Charlie Daniels Band classic “Long Haired Country Boy” on the mandolin. I played this song in a country band for a few years and it’s a definite crowd pleaser. In this video, we’ll look at the intro riff, all the chords, the walk down at the end of the chorus and a couple of fills to throw in. At the end of the video, I’ll play a lead/solo that works nicely and isn’t difficult. We’ll break that down over on the COMANDOLIN Studio Patreon Page with Tabs. Let’s jump right into this easy country classic!

I’ve been eyeballin one of those 415s, I’ve owned a Loar 520 Michael Kelly LFP & now I’m ready to move up to an Eastman

[@COMANDOLIN]

@@jal6343 - I’m obsessed with the Eastmans :) I have the 305 and this 415 and they’re works of art that happen to play music!

[@COMANDOLIN]

If you’re interested, I have a video of all my mandolins where I talk about both of the Eastmans in detail. It’s not too far down the page as it was pretty recent :)
