Flint Hill Special

“Flint Hill Special” Play-Along Track

Flint Hill Special

In this lesson you’ll learn three classic bluegrass fiddle solos to the Earl Scruggs banjo tune “Flint Hill Special,” as played by the great Benny Martin on the original 1952 Flatt and Scruggs recording. These solos include some variations on some of the sliding double-stop licks you learned in the lesson on G chords. Chad plays the solos through slowly and then takes them apart phrase by phrase.
