Red Haired Boy (A 75 bpm) - You Play Lead

Red Haired Boy (A 75 bpm) - You Play Lead

Author: Matt Hutchinson March 24, 2021 Duration: 5:04

Thanks for listening to Bluegrass Jam Along, the podcast for anyone, and everyone, who plays bluegrass.

This week we're jamming along to Red Haired Boy and I've got  three brand new backing track episodes for you. In this episode I play the rhythm so you can work on the tune. It's four times through in the key of A at 75 bpm. I'm playing it on guitar with a capo at the second fret.

  • backing track starts at 00:35


Don't forget to check out the other two episodes when you're done.
