Jerusalem Ridge was composed by Bill Monroe in the Key of A minor. Here it is written for the 5-String in A minor without retuning the banjo.
Recently, I was asked to reprint my arrangement for Jerusalem Ridge in A minor, which is to be played on the banjo without using a capo. This is an excellent tune to demonstrate how a song is based upon the Natural Minor Scale without retuning the banjo. There are four pages in this column:
