About the tune
Cumberland Gap is a driving old-time tune named for the mountain pass through the Appalachians, and it's a long-standing favorite at old-time and bluegrass jams.
Played here in G with just a G and a D, it's a great tune for practicing a strong, simple backup — and for hearing how a banjo roll and a mandolin chop lock together.
