In this lesson

This is an old song in the key of G that follows the typical fiddle tune form. I wrote the 1st A/B parts to be more basic, but then we're gonna stretch on the 2nd A/B parts. Enjoy!

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

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