Man of constant sorrow

My first fiddle post. I don't practice the fiddle as much as I would like, it's too loud and I'm always afraid to bother my poor family and neighbours. I thought I might get kick started in playing the damn thing by posting this video. It's my rendering of Man of constant sorrow John Hartford style.

Hi, thank you for this! I was wondering if you might be able to direct me to where I can find sheet music to this rendition of "A Man of Constant Sorrow"? Thank you!

@friendofthefiddle Sorry, I play by ear and do not know where to find sheet music for John Hartford's music (he's the man behind this rendition) I've been asked about tabs and sheet music a lot, so I just might try to do a tutorial for this. When I tought my wife to play it I changed the key to D ... I think. I play it in the D major scale anyway.

Really good rendition. This song makes my dog howl and you had him howling. I should post the video, giving you credit for the music if you want.
