Here’s a jaunty tune from mandolinist John Reischman’s lauded Up in the Woods recording from 1999. Grant’s setting for the guitar sits nicely on the fingerboard, and in this lesson he teaches the basic melody and somewhat challenging chord progression. As Grant notes in his introduction, the original recording of “The Eighth of February" features a hot guitar solo by Peghead Nation’s own Scott Nygaard (starting at 1:06). In this video, Grant shows you the A section.
