About the tune
Arkansas Traveler is one of the most recognizable American fiddle tunes, dating to the mid-19th century and still a staple at jams today.
It's commonly played with C-shape chords and a capo at the 2nd fret to sound in D, moving through C, F, and G — a friendly, singable progression for building your backup.
