Julie 10 Jessie 1 2 Joey 14 Playing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979
The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower, in a tune called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues". The Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e. chant or Sprechstimme), and tell the story of a boy named Johnny, who one day is challenged by the devil to a battle of fiddle-playing: If Johnny triumphs, he claims a golden fiddle; losing the battle will forfeit his soul. The performances of Satan and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges

  • Julie, whats the difference between the fiddle and violin?

  • @gooddaysunshine66 a violin and fiddle are one and the same instrument...the approach to the instrument differentiates its label as a fiddle or a violin...additionally, some fiddlers will flatten their bridge so that they can play a double-stop with ease (this is when the fiddler plays two stings at once)...hence, the set-up of the violin can also reveal the violin as a fiddle...or at least intended to be played as a fiddle.

  • Should of done this one for AGT.
