Soldier's Joy

A solo flatpicking arrangement of "Soldier's Joy" in drop-D tuning — one of the most played tunes in the old-time and bluegrass repertoire. In drop-D the melody sits low and full, and the arrangement stands on its own without accompaniment. A natural fit in a medley with other drop-D pieces.
