Rocky Top (fiddle lesson)

- Rocky Top is a song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant in 1967, and recorded first by the Osborne Brothers the same year. In this fiddle lesson I teach the basic melody, in the key of A. I then look at various ways of playing fiddle backing over the verse and chorus. With reference to the version by the Old Crow Medicine Show version, I also do a solo, and then briefly demonstrate the tune and chords in the original key of B.
