Red Haired Boy

Lesson ID: A0220

In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn how to play a nice bluegrass flatpicking arrangement for “Red Haired Boy”. This song is one of the most common fiddle tunes played at bluegrass jams. NOTE: We’re going to play “Red Haired Boy” using key of G chords and scales, but we’ll capo the 2nd fret so technically this is in the key of A.

After you learn the flatpicking break, practice along with the “Red Haired Boy” backing track that comes with this guitar lesson. “Red Haired Boy” guitar tablature is available for download below the lesson video.

Hi Devin! What guitar is that you are playing? Is it a electric acoustic?

Is the previous arrangement of Red Haired Boy you posted still available or does this one supersede the older one?

I think your subscribers would appreciate having both arrangements to play and besides, the original one has such a killer ending.
