Ashokan Farewell, a beautiful melody exuding tranquility, is a majestic waltz piece for guitar. Ideal for intermediate players, this song's resonating chords fill the room with an aura of sentimentality and nostalgia. Its melody and rhythm invite every guitarist to experience a musical journey of serenity and poise, perfect for refining their skills. This tune was also a highlight of the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "Civil War" documentary.

This tune is in the key of D. We can play with C shapes and capo at the second fret, or just play out of the key of D without a capo. Each option will have it's own unique sounds and challenges. Listen and experiment with both to see what you prefer. Make listening a part of your practice. Listen with the Tunefox player during each practice session.
