Tab by Rob Bradley
Here's the tab to Redwing, a great old fiddle tune. This is an easy arrangement, with lots of quarter notes in the A part. In the B part, there are even half notes, but these are double stops, so they will ring out just fine.

And now, the accompaniment. I like to use a simple swing pattern
for the A part and a bluegrass pattern for the B part. First time
through I usually play the straight chords given above.
