Black Mountain Rag

Here is my arrangement for the old-time fiddle tune “Black Mountain Rag” done in the key of D.  I wanted to approach this tune in the way Doc Watson does it, so I put the capo on the 2nd fret and worked out of C position.  This tune generally three parts and Doc does add a 4th part to this tune.  I did NOT include the 4th part that Doc usually does when he plays this tune.

This fiddle is a lot of fun to play but watch out, as it can get played burning fast at the jams!  Hopefully, this arrangement will allow you to play at those high speeds.  Enjoy!
