"The Drunken Wagoner" is an old time fiddle tune that Art Rosenbaum recorded on a field trip. He played the tune to Duck Baker who then played it to me. I was struck by the melody and the construction of the tune. It has three distinct sections. The first is played on the three lower strings of your guitar. The second section moves to the middle voice and the third section to the upper strings.

Besides being a wonderful and fun instrumental to master it also serves as an exercise to gain control over your right hand fingerpicking movements.
