About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

I've taught this song on banjo and guitar, then one of my members reminded me that I hadn't taught it on mandolin! Shame on me! So, here's a great intermediate version of this classic fiddle tune in the key of A. I know you're gonna love it!

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
