Welcome! This web page supplements my Learn Packington's Pound video on YouTube by providing all the files, links, and other references from my that video. Once I posted this video to Patreon, I was itching to turn it into a chord melody. The melody itself sings and there's tons of harmonic opportunity for chords and personal expression. With that said, download the sheet music for this video! There are a bunch of different versions. Sorry, I'm trying that as a new thing! If you hate it; tell me.
Licensing: I've swapped it up folks! Everything is now offered as public domain. But I'm asking you nicely... please don't sell it. Also, if you build something new from it, crediting the source helps keep this kind of work accessible for everyone.
Here are some of my favorite albums that feature this piece. You'll notice they are not chord melodies on mandolin. Nope nope nope. Each of these examples treats the tune quite differently and plays with the melodic material in their own way. Do so yourself!
