Level: Beginner/Intermediate
This fiddle tune has been around since dirt, well before it became a dance sensation along with the “Urban Cowboy” film. I get requests for it a lot at gigs where people want to dance. This is another one that most pickers know so you’ll be able to use it at a jam when they look at you to come up with a song. It’s got a nice feel to it and you’ll be playing it well before you know it. Comes with tab and 2 different backup tracks both slow and up tempo.
