Rat's Gone To Rest

I got this tune from the book "Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes" by Jeff Todd Titon, super fun to play on guitar.
Not being a fiddle player, I'm trying to capture some of the idiomatic stuff that comes with the instrument, but on guitar. Chord progression I added is pretty decidedly NOT idiomatic, what with all the minor chords, but I like it. 1945 Epiphone Blackstone, funky little Sony M-S stereo mic I recently found in a box of electronic gear, into Reaper.

Cool! There is an Instagram page called Banjo Tune Of The Week, which does exactly what it says on the tin, and this is the tune for this week! It's great to hear it for an instrument other than banjo. Not that I have a thing against banjo (hell, it's how I make a living), but variety is the spice of life!
