Gospel and Bluegrass Tune in G Major
Beginner > Module 1.7

Play Along Track – Full Tune


Drone in G – No Beat


Try to sing the melody before you play it. Another great tune that a lot of us learned about from the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou? (performed by Gillian Welch and Allison Krauss), though it was written in 1929 by Albert Brumley.
