Its harmonious blend of soulful lyrics and compelling guitar strums will resonate with you, turning every performance into an irresistible folk serenade. Perfect for those seeking to elevate their playing skills to the next level.

Start with the melody. Always start with the melody. This one is simplified. Simple is good. It's always better to play something simple with great timing and confidence than to try and play something complex with unsteady timing and timidness. The Syllabic Melody is more detailed. It's based on the way Carter Stanley sang this tune. The rhythm is much more complex and is more of a challenge to play, but it can be simplified with the green difficulty slider. Pay attention to the fingering suggestions and pick direction markers in the guitar tablature.

The simple arrangement is a great place for beginners to start. The licks here are simple as well. Using a few is a great way to explore variation within the tune in ways that aren't too challenging to play. Simple isn't just for beginners. It can also be great for intermediate or advanced players. Sometimes overly complex tunes are tough to play at high speeds. Simple tunes allow you to really cook at those high tempos!

Mountain Dew lyrics

There’s a big hollow tree down the road here from me

Where you lay down a dollar or two

You stroll ’round the bend and you come back again

There’s a jug full of good old mountain dew

They call it that mountain dew

And them that refuse it are few

I’ll hush up my mug if you fill up my jug

With that good old mountain dew

My uncle Mort, he’s sawed off and short

He measures about four foot two

But he thinks he’s a giant when you give him a pint

Of that good old mountain dew

Well, my old aunt June bought some brand new perfume

If had such a sweet smelling pew

But to her surprise when she had it analyzed

It was nothing but good old mountain dew

Well, my brother Bill’s got a still on the hill

Where he runs off a gallon or two

The buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can’t fly

From smelling that good old mountain dew
