This is a very popular tune played by both blues and country players. Papa Charlie Jackson recorded his version in 1924 on a six-string banjo. Mississippi John Hurt had a version played in the key of G. Flatt & Scruggs played this in a bluegrass context. The arrangement taught in this lesson is played in the key of C and somewhat in a Chet Atkins' style. The structure revolves around the Circle of Fifths. A few new chord positions are taught. This is another arrangement to help build a solid foundation with the alternating bass.
