“I’ve Found a Hiding Place” Play-Along Track

I’ve Found a Hiding Place

“I’ve Found a Hiding Place” was recorded by Bill Monroe in May, 1958 with just Edd Mayfield on guitar. Monroe’s solo is on a clipped version of the chorus form. It’s in the key of E and is mostly played out of chop chord positions, but it includes a distinctive passage where Monroe alternates notes in the chop chord position with open strings.
