It is, unlike the original recording (also in D), played without a capo and instead using many rather difficult closed positions. This version has two breaks, the first one being played by a single guitar (with 1 guitar and a bass backing up) and inspired by a break I saw on a video of Don flatpicking this tune with Bill Harrell. Notes: This is a version of Don Reno's famed flatpick number, 'Country Boy Rock & Roll', which is generally deemed to be the first bluegrass recording *featuring* Lead Flatpicked Guitar.

Jamey Pittman - Flatpicking Instructor - Snellville, GA One of the nice things about this arrangement is it sounds quite good whether you play it at a slow or fast tempo. I included the pickstrokes above the tab Although Clarence was fond of the DDU style of crosspicking, I prefer the straight, alternate picking approach. Of course, you can capo it anywhere you like (or not at all). The song is played out of the C shape and I like the way it sounds on my instrument capoed at the 3rd fret, hence the key being Eb. This is an exact transcription of the first iteration of the tune from my YouTube video which can be found here: Notes: This is my interpretation of Clarence White's crosspicked version of 'Bury Me Beneath The Willow'. Genre: Old-Time Key: D#/Eb Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) Difficulty: Intermediate So warm up your fingers and prepare to burn up your pick! Straight up and down picking, always down on the downbeat and up on the offbeat, no pull-offs or hammer-ons typical Reno guitar style.

Other than the speed, it's a fairly straight forward tune, a lot of common Reno guitar licks plus a few of my own crazy licks that I threw in there. That is FAST!!! I wouldn't try it at that speed at your average jam. Also borrowed from that recording is the tempo - a nearly unbelievable 165 bpm (330 in 2/2 time), which is the primary reason for the expert status (you can't pull off a whole lot of super fancy fretwork at that speed unless you're Django Reinhardt or something ). This version is very heavily influenced by Don Reno's incredible performance with Buck Ryan on 'Fiddler On The Rocks' - In many places, it is a note-for-note copy of part of Don's breaks. Notes: Here is the quintessential fiddle tune for guitar, 'Black Mountain Rag', in the original fiddle key of A (Capo 2).
