JD Crowe Songs
Old Home Place is an old bluegrass standard that has been recorded by most bluegrass artists including JD Crowe And The New South and was a track from their 1975 album of the same name.
I play this one with a capo 3rd fret with a root down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. Because this is a sol guitar piece here, there are several picking segments required. For chords you'll need a G, B7, C, D, D7 and an A7.
