"Jerusalem Ridge" - Kenny Baker/Bill Monroe | Intermediate BLUEGRASS Guitar Lesson with TAB

A lesson on my arrangement of the traditional tune "Jerusalem Ridge"! This bluegrass classic features four parts and a haunting melody over the Am chord position. This bluegrass fiddle classic made popular by legendary fiddler and Kentucky native Kenny Baker. Kenny co-wrote the tune with Bill Monroe in 1970 as a member of the legendary Blue Grass Boys. For this arrangement, we'll be playing "Jerusalem Ridge" out of capo 2 which puts us in the key of Bm. In this lesson we will also cover the rhythm and chord structure as well as the history of this classic tune.

Great video! I'll sit with this one soon. Curious about the key though. Why play in Bm?

[@DD-eight]

Is that an Eastman Brandon? I can’t get a great look at it. Sounds great whatever it is!!!

[@GoudLoodje]

Pretty sure it’s a custom dreadnought from Madsen Guitars
