-----Cripple Creek----- The version I am tabbing out is based off of the Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt version. Also Billy Connolly does a fantastic rendition. Highly recommended. Open G tuning (DGDGBD) Sometimes I put a capo on the 2nd or 3rd frets, but its preference honestly. Basically you are tuning your guitar to the same tuning a banjo is in, open G. It sounds pretty darn close. This song is fairly easy to play and is absolutely a blast. Enjoy! I also recommend muting some of the notes as well to get a bit more gritty bluegrass feel to it.
