Many songs have similar chord progressions, so many of these tracks can be used to practice other songs not listed on this page. For example, “Bury Me Beneath the Willow,” “Your Love Is Like a Flower,” “I’m On My Way Back to the Old Home,” and others all have the same chord progression, what we like to call “Bluegrass Chord Progression #1.” So you can use “Love Is Like a Flower,” for which we have Play-Along Tracks in numerous keys, to practice any other songs with that chord progression. Other common progressions include the circle-of-fifths progression used in “Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down,” which can be used to practice “I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome,” “Salty Dog Blues,” and many more. And the 12-bar blues and 16-bar blues (“Lonesome Road Blues”) forms are used for many songs.
