Man Of Constant Sorrow Acoustic Guitar Lesson - Tab - Normal Tuning

this is an acoustic guitar lesson for "Man Of Constant Sorrow" by the "Soggy Bottom Boys" this is done in standard guitar tuning but is played in the same style. I play it with a capo on second fret. I also have a unique mid 8 / melody section that is really simple but helps to break the verses up. Check out our guitar lesson site for the tab.

your lessons are great. your speaking and instruction are great. I've learned several songs with you before. Am just a beginner, but i can't get that B chord to sound right. from the cappo, it's the first finger 2nd fret on E string, and 3rd finger on 4th fret on A string, right? It sounds weird, checked my tuning. not sure. thanks

@surfrider8900 from the capo - 2nd fret A string, 4ft fret G - Everything else muted. It is a power chord position of the B.

@y0uRmOnKeY Thanks it's a tuning I figured out when playing alternative rock (several alt bands use it) plus I've found some country players using the tuning (and now a blue grass player in this movie). I'm still wondering why the capo is used live. Perhaps someone can explain it to me :D

[y0uRmOnKeY]

@Onewitnessus When I play it with a capo, the guitar is tuned to drop D, and the B string is taken up to D as well. The capo is just added.

Good ear!

@fridebloney It's still normal tuning, a capo only changes the key. And while technically that "E" is actually "F#" it's easier to simply call the cords by their open tuning name.

[fridebloney]

How do you say normal tuning and then use a capo??

Come on man, no link to your website?

nice thanks for the awesome video lesson!

[Onewitnessus]

@y0uRmOnKeY I did not know that I'll have to look at it because my ear tells me it's a drop D tuning with the B string taken up to a D as well (my ear can be wrong sometimes)

[y0uRmOnKeY]

@Onewitnessus Lol yeah, but the guy who performed the song for the movie (Dan Tyminski) actually uses a capo. He plays it differently though, with the capo barring the 3rd fret as seen at the crossroads performance

LOL did you say "could ya blow me?" at 1:58?
