Red Apple Rag was one of the first mandolin tunes I learned, and it's been stuck in my teeth ever since! This is a great fiddle tune in G played in both bluegrass and western swing circles. The song, and this particular arrangement, is very scale based. This makes it easier to take the licks of this song and use them easily for fills in other tunes as well!
