Country Roads (fiddle lesson)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- The John Denver song, Country Roads, is a very well known country song, and ideal for the fiddle player. In this Fiddle lesson I do a walkthrough of the song; the intro, verse, chorus and bridge. I suggest shuffle patterns to use on the chorus, and use of the major blues scale to create an easy solo.

Can you upload yourself playing the full song? Yours sounds the best its just in small bits! Haha Thanks

I wanted to dislike this because I don’t like the song, but it’s yet another great tutorial, and had me grabbing my fiddle to have a go - loving all the suggestions for drones and shuffles. Thanks. I fear you may yet turn me into a country fan … 😉
Hi Jane. This is a song that country fans don't like because it's too popular, but non country fans like even though it's country!
