Blackberry Blossom in the key of G.
It’s hard not to avoid playing some melodic style on a tune like this but I throw in a little single string and some sixths to mix it up.

Blackberry Blossom is right up there towards the top of the heap of fiddle tunes that are way overplayed. Love it or hate it here is an example of it.
The trick to making this tune sound like a musical performance as opposed to an exercise is to give it a bit of that shoulder-shrugging fiddle bounce. Either way it’s a good exercise in alternate picking.

This video runs through the melody twice, once fast and once slow, followed up by an example of one possible chord progression that could be played behind it.

This arrangement is a good exercise for changing positions while trying to keep a consistent tone. The tune is in the key of G and has a similar vibe to Blackberry Blossom though is far less known.
