         Red River Valley  (traditional)

  

  this arrangement by Peter Wilson (closely based on the Reader's

  digest Family Song Book, inspired by the Kentucky Headhunters)

  

  

  This is your basic major chord progression in Gmajor

  but I use some more advanced inversions to follow the melody

  which I show below.  The numbers in parenthesis are my own notation

  and indicate the inversion in use.  I came up with this by a

  process of playing around, and I'm not God, so feel free to

  experiment with this.  The song uses a lot of parallel sixths

  which I play using a regular pick and a finger pick on my

  long finger which is a standard country technique.  Finger them

  like this.  (Numbers are for fingers, not frets here)

  Sliding sixths are a lick which sounds very much like a steel

  guitar.  There is a particularly choice one on the last line.

  Notice it is the bottom (bass) note which is slid.  This tab comes

  with no warranty and I accept no liability for consequential

  damages. This song is a great confidence builder for beginners as

  it isn't too hard to play, but makes you sound like a country pro.

  Oh yeah,  the passages I have marked stacatto, use a real common

  lead guitar lick.  After sounding the notes release the strings

  quickly.  You want to make the guitar chirp.
