Soldier’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 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.

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.
My computer recently suffered a catastrophic hard drive failure but fortunately I had a decent backup. While sifting through said backup I discovered some interesting stuff that I forgot even existed. Most of what I found would be of no interest to the average reader so I’ll spare you the details however I did come across a video outtake of me screwing around with Drop D tuning and a very slow improvised version of the tune Over The Waterfall. I never posted this since it wasn’t really intended for educational purposes and most of the opening licks are out of frame but since I haven’t posted in a while I figured I’d put it up.

New Camptown Races is a Frank Wakefield tune that he played with Red Allen. It’s usually played in Bb or occasionally B natural. I play it in Bb (G position, capo at 3rd). The chords with the capo on are G, C, D, Em, A. The signature lick of the tune can be played by holding an Em7 chord and picking out the notes.
