Level: Intermediate
This is a pretty cool arrangement (I have to say stuff like that, I’m really pretty humble) of the most recognized fiddle tune in the world. Lots of stuff to learn here folks, chromatic licks, chicken pickin, and the two string strum you hear all the big time Dobro pickin stars doing.
You get a slow and uptempo version along with the rhythm tracks to both tempos. Tab included.Real close to an hour. You don’t have to play it as fast as I did to make it sound great, I just wanted the Chinese to know that we Americans still have it goin’ on.
So belly up for some Turkey with and side of straw!
