About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

This version is in D minor, & most of the Shady Grove versions I've heard are in clawhammer style, so I figured we needed a good 3-finger style to play at jams. This tab begins with the basic melody, but then we add slides, hammers, and licks to create a robust solo!
