Bluegrass: "Wildwood Flower"
The song "Wildwood Flower" was first recorded by the Carter family in the 1920s. It has become a standard for bluegrass guitarists to know ever since. Maybelle Carter played the song in C on guitar but often capoed up so it actually sounded in a higher key when she sang along. In this version, notice how the melody is voiced lower with the occasional strummed chords voiced higher. This lesson teaches the classic bluegrass song "Wildwood Flower."
