This is the second variation on the melody of Cherokee Shuffle here on Pickin’ Lessons. It is a popular fiddle tune, a common tune in bluegrass sessions and one of my personal favourites. In the key of A (capo 2-spike string 5 to fret 7), this is an intermediate melodic arrangement working around a nice, straight ahead version of the melody. Once you’ve got this version down, check out the other version here: Cherokee Shuffle: Banjo Lesson. As you become more familiar with a tune, it’s always great to have variations up your sleeve!
