Brown County Breakdown - Bill Monroe

print w/Courier

This is my own version based loosely on Kenny Baker's fiddle break with
a bit of Monroe style thrown in. On measures 1-6 and 9-14 of this song
the rhythm section typically plays only the E chord on the first beat of
each measure. This repeats for every new soloist.
