Miller's Reel


I'm not sure where I got this tune, but I know it was from a book of guitar tablature that I had several years ago. I've made a few changes since then.

The upstrokes in measure 3 can be a bit tricky, even at moderate speed. You can leave out the last two if you need to. Below, I've written out a variation on Part A that uses all eight notes for measures 1 and 2, and quarter notes for measure 3.
