Wildwood Flower - played by Tony Thomas

This wonderful old melody has been around since 1860 and was made famous in 1928 by the Carter Family from Virginia. Since then there have been many versions by different groups and soloists. I will attempt to show several different methods on how to play this wonderful song. One in the key of C Major, one in the key of G Major and also one in the key of D major. There are many styles and techniques I will also try to touch on a few of them. Hope you pick up something from this demonstration.

Yes Tony that is so nice, my favorite piece and I always try to play on my banjo. How I wish you was showing that on a banjo cause I don't play guitar at all. But you really deserve a thumbs up on playing that so smooth.

Sweet. Thank you very much brother. I think this was the first time to hear it in D. The little cross picking is always nice.😊
