Guitar
Cherokee Shuffle
July 30th, 2009Cherokee Shuffle (aka Lost Indian) is usually played in the Key of A capoed at the 2nd fret G position.
Soldier’s Joy
July 11th, 2009Soldier’s Joy is a well known fiddle tune usually played in the key of D. For guitar it works well with or without a capo though I prefer using the capo and playing out of the C position.
Salt Creek
July 9th, 2009Salt Creek is a festival favorite and a flatpicking essential. Usually played in the key of A capoed at the 2nd fret (G position). Most pickers have learned this tune directly, or vicariously, from Doc Watson’s famous rendition. In this particular example I play a variation of the B part that is slightly different than the way you usually hear it though the structure remains intact. The ending tag is one of my favorite Tony Rice licks.
