About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

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!
