This one is a LOT of fun to play! Soldier's Joy is usually played in the key of D, but we're gonna slap a capo on the 2nd fret and play out of C. As with many fiddle tunes, this one has the AABB format, so I spice up the second A and B parts to give you some variety in your pickin'. Enjoy!

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
