Learn to Play Lonesome Fiddle Blues - Bluegrass Banjo

Here's a fun tune. It's also the melody that Charlie Daniels used for Devil Went Down to Georgia! Tab: https://wildjimbo.sellfy.store/p/lone... "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" is a fantastic melodic piece that every banjo player should have in their repertoire. Originally from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" album, this tune has a unique flavor and was even the inspiration for the melody in "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." This is a melodic-style lesson, which means it involves some tricky fingerings and big stretches. If you're new to melodic banjo, this will be a great challenge to push your technique. We’ll break down the lead-in, the big stretches in Part A, and the melodic walk-down in Part B. I’ve also included a slow, no-talking walk-through at the end to help you nail those transitions.
