Here is a classic Sam Bush performance of his unique Texas fiddle style mandolin playing. One of Samís innovations is his phrasing of triplets, as in bar 10- downstroke/slur (either a hammer or pull, depending on the direction of the line)/upstroke. As heís generously shared in interviews, this technique allows the flow of alternate picking on the eighth notes to continue unaltered, as the middle note of the triplet is thrown in between pick strokes. Bar 11 has a triplet that has both notes slurred (hammered), a beautifully smooth sound.

The phrase at bar 6 usually gets a C natural, in bar 78 it gets a C# which is a great sounding variation on the phrase.

The tremolo beginning at bar 62 starts with a triplet speed and increases over the next bar- hard to duplicate exactly, and a bit pointless to notate precisely, as it is probably a little different each time it is performed-I suggest going for the feeling rather than accounting for every single pickstroke!
