He's Gonna pick a bunch of wildflowers. Pick me some flowers and give them to you. This bluegrass style features guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass, and a banjo soloist. The guitar plays simple strummed chords and occasionally keeps a bass line going in the lower strings. Panned to opposite sides, both the mandolin and fiddle play in a "chop" style with chords landing on beats 2 and 4. The bass plays roots and fifths in half notes throughout. Rounding out the group is a ripping banjo soloist playing a deluge of 8th note lines to keep the energy high. This song is in the key of G major and features major and minor chords. Chord changes happen every 4 to 16 beats.This style in an 8th note variation of _BANK. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Tennessee Whisky File:Tennessee Whisky.SGU Key=G , Tempo 200, Length (m:s)=2:13 4 bar intro, 104 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 108.

Chugging whiskey...... that;s gonna hurt in the morning.
Cool tune. I thought it would be a redo of the DAC song but it's not. Good job.

Sometimes simple is best. You did a good 'un here.
My only sugg is to try a high harmony with it.

Well done Rob.
That mandolin chop rhythm is just where it should be in a bluegrass mix.
Those bluegrass "standard runs" on the guitar are perfect.
We lived and breathed bluegrass for decades and it's great to hear a song posted here that nails the feel of the genre.
Nice write and vocal too!

Sound hills enough to set up a still rather than buy the whisky Rob,
excellent ditty.
A very cool arrangement and - even more so MIX. The panning is spot on.
Cheers
