Banjo TAB – “The Old Spinning Wheel”

The Old Spinning Wheel banjo tab. This is the FIRST break only. One of the first videos I ever uploaded to YouTube. By far the most popular banjo TAB on my site. It remains one of my favorite songs to play.

This version is in the key of C and in parts I try to imitate a “spinning” effect. It only uses three banjo chords; C, F, and G.

This combines some single-string licks along with some ideas I got from Allen Shelton.

Sorry, I don’t have a TAB for the higher/up the neck part.

Spinning Wheel Song History

The first recording was done by Ray Noble in the early 1930’s. It was written by Billy Hill.
