Video Tip - "Arkansas Traveler" Flatpicking Bluegrass Lesson

"Arkansas Traveler" has gone on to become a standard bluegrass song played by Bill Monroe and Chet Atkins and commonly played at bluegrass jam sessions. Grab your guitar and let’s learn some classic Flatpicking Bluegrass! You can download the music and TAB for this lesson HERE.
