First real full bluegrass song everyone learns, and no other song is so useful for improvisation. You can slip the first 8 measures into any song, and they work perfectly.
the progression of the song is actually G C G D and repeat. hes right tho, its a good song to start learning when you first pick up a banjo. He added a little flare to it, sounds nice.
Tony is an absolute master. His "Territory" album blew me away.
MAGIC ACT! This man is brilliant!

As I remember onced upon a time hearing it:
Pull my pants down to my knees
Wade ole Cripple Creek when I please.
@Lukejcarter That's not the chord progression to Cripple Creek at all.
A part: G | C G | G | D G, repeat
B part: G | G | G | D G, repeat
i gotta learn that high break!
Looks and sounds like open G.
L>O>L Yeah they're totally cliche now haha :rockon:
