Tunefox
The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
This melody for Shady Grove on guitar is extremely accurate. The timing and note choice is just like someone would sing it. Here, each note matches up with each syllable of every word in the lyrics. This kind of detailed melody is very interesting, but can be a challenge to play. Listen regularly and repeatedly with Tunefox and recordings to absorb the correct timing. Pay close attention to the pick directions in the guitar tablature as well.
Learning the same melody in a different key can do wonders for your understanding of fretboard layout and introduce you to totally new sounds. A capo at the 5th fret is recommended here since Dm is the standard jam key for this tune. However, if you are just playing and practicing by yourself, a capo isn't necessary. Just follow the guitar tab as it is. It will still sound exactly like Shady Grove, because it is! Without a capo, you'll just be playing in A minor.
