Banks of the Ohio, Part 1: L-Shapes and Double Stops in F

Learn a solo to the folk and bluegrass classic “Banks of the Ohio” that was played by Ricky Skaggs on Tony Rice’s first Rounder record. The solo is in the key of F, so Sharon starts by going over the closed-position L-shapes and double stops in the key of F. She also shows you a closed-position F major scale.
