Description

You cant past very many jams without running into this classic fiddle tune, the Soldiers Joy. Named after olden days slang for morphine (because as you can imagine if you had just gotten you arm taken off by a musket blast, morphine would indeed be your “joy”), this easy piece is in the key of D and uses good old fashioned G tuning in the open position (no capo!). As do all of our JamAlong lessons, this lesson comes with two different leads, one super easy and the other a bit more spicy, and a backing track so you can jam away to your hearts content! This lesson is designed for the total teeth-gritting beginner, and will get you playing Soldiers Joy on your banjer faster than you ever thought possible…so get to it!
