Ashokan Farewell – FREE Solo and Arpeggios Tabs Pack

This latest contribution from my brand new course, Bluegrass Guitarpeggios, is available for FREE! "Ashokan Farewell" Solo & Arpeggios.

I'm excited to share with you another video from my latest guitar course, Bluegrass Guitarpeggios! The video comes from the final section of the course.

In this video, I'll put everything learned in the course so far together for this second of two final fiddle tune solos from the course.

So watch the video above to "Ashokan Farewell," grab the FREE tablature pack, play along, and enjoy the show!

Of all the fiddle tunes I've heard, I consider "Ashokan Farewell" (written by Jay Unger) to be among the top ten.

Its beautifully sustained notes tug at the heartstrings of even the most calloused flat-picking fingers. It's a great tune as well because it allows you to take advantage of Waltz Time, which is typically a good meter for slow and soulful solos.

In addition, if you're used to playing most fiddle tunes in a G-shape, this song will challenge you to explore other areas of the fretboard within the key of D.

I've also created a free tablature pack that includes the following awesome benefits:

Note: I've tried to transcribe these tabs to best represent my intentions while playing the solo rather than my actual performance of the song. (There were a few hiccups in the actual video solo).

This tab pack includes tabs of the full solo of my interpretation of "Ashokan Farewell," as well as several arpeggios I use in second half of the song.​

As an additional aid to learning, I've also included the Guitar Pro (.gp) files, which work with Guitar Pro 7.5. (If you don't have Guitar Pro, but would like to try it for yourself, click this special link for a free 30-day trial.)

Lastly, I've included the audio for the tab files. I've exported the audio with a metronome since some of the more intermediate parts incorporate a bit of syncopation. This will allow you to get a better grasp on the timing of the solos.
