One of the most popular bluegrass songs of all time in jam sessions. This is a primer for the Noya Mountain Music monthly workshop coming up 7/26/26. The melody is not too difficult to learn and the chords are relatively easy also. The trick is to make this simple arrangement sound good with excellent tone and timing and that is what our Jam Session Classic workshop series is all about. We do get into double stops and some upgrades here and there, but this is where we're starting.
