I've got something new for you on the podcast this week.  I know a lot of you, alongside working on fiddle tunes, are also working on breaks for vocal songs. So I'm adding some songs to the podcast too, starting with Old Home Place.

I know these songs often get played in different keys depending on who sings them, so I'm giving you a set of four different tracks in different keys. This track is in A at 85 bpm - check out the other three too.

I'm not trying to replicate a particular version, so there aren't any intros, turnarounds or tags, just a verse, followed by a chorus, repeated till we've done it all four times though.

Hope you find these useful! If you want a chord chart (or just want to find out more or get in touch),  just head to bluegrassjamalong.com

Backing track starts at 1:59 (there'll be less preamble on the songs in future - just wanted to introduce them properly first time!)

Happy picking!
Matt
