Travelin’ This Lonesome Road, Part 1
Recorded by Bill Monroe in 1949, with Mac Wiseman on guitar and vocals, Rudy Lyle on banjo, Chubby Wise on fiddle, and Jack Thompson on bass, “Travelin’ This Lonesome Road” is in the key of F, an unusual key for bluegrass songs. The solo includes some tricky fingering, sliding double stops, and shifts between positions. There are also some extra beats on the ends of the lines. Mike walks you through the solo phrase by phrase, pointing out all the double stops and where to make the shifts. You’ll learn the first half of the solo in this video.
