Keep on the Sunny Side
intermediate guitar
This lesson is for members
This is an old tune made famous many years ago by the Carter Family then popularized again on the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack. This version is in the key of G and is a perfect balance of playability and difficulty. If you're looking for a flatpicking tune to learn, let this be it!

Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
