Update: A Part Variation has been added for this lesson. Watch here.

Tony brings students another version of the very popular Old Time tune "Cumberland Gap".

This time, Tony offers an alternate tuning unofficially called the "F tuning". Tony explains how he learned this tuning and shows students how to set to tune. He's breaks the piece down so it's easy to understand, even for a beginner! There is tablature with the lesson to make the notes easier to find.
