Ashokan Farewell is a beautiful tune written by Jay Unger that’s become a standard. It was featured in Ken Burn’s “Civil War” documentary. Played in the key of D so here’s another chance to strengthen your D chops.
Nothing really very hard here but the arrangement has a bunch of triplet figures. These are very popular rhythmic licks applied to any melody. You hear these on slow and mid tempo songs.
Very Popular!!
