Level: 2/3
Tuning: Open D

I first heard "Waterbound" played by Art Rosenbaum on five-string banjo in the 1960s. I initially played it by strumming back-up for a banjo and/or fiddle player. The melody never seemed to fit in a fingerstyle arrangement. Fast-forward 50 years and I was hit by the idea of setting the piece in an Open D tuning. Lo and behold it worked!

What a lovely tune to play and sing. You'll have fun learning this piece.
