Going Down the Valley

Going Down the Valley

Tab and notes by Bo Parker

Here's "Going Down the Valley," pretty much as I played it on PLECTROLOGY vol. 2. This arrangement is based on Norman Blake's arrangement from the Norman and Nancy Blake album "While Passing Along This Way." Norman's style has lots of strumming, which I haven't notated here - I've just sort of given the skeleton of the piece. On PLECTROLOGY vol 2, I played it with a capo at 3.
