About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

John Hardy is simply...a fun tune to play! I built this one for SPEED! This version has some Monroe and Sam Bush type licks in it, and if you play it super-fast and a little bit "loose", it'll still sounds GOOD! This one is in the key of "G", which gives a lot of you some much needed practice in these positions. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
