“Blue Ridge Cabin Home” Play-Along Track: Key of Bb

Blue Ridge Cabin Home

The bluegrass standard “Blue Ridge Cabin Home” comes from Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and has become a jam session favorite. In this lesson you’ll learn a fiddle solo to “Blue Ridge Cabin Home” that Bobby Hicks played on the Bluegrass Album Band recording of the song. The solo is in the key of Bb, and it has some classic bluegrass fiddle licks in the key of Bb. Chad starts by playing the solo through and then takes it apart phrase by phrase, giving you advice on bowing and fingering as he goes. He also shows you the tag that Bobby Hicks added to the end of the solo.
