About the tune

Sally Goodin is a classic breakdown especially associated with Texas-style fiddling, famous for the seemingly endless variations players spin out over its simple frame.

In A, the tune rides mostly on the A chord with an E to turn it around, which makes it a great tune for locking in solid backup while the fiddle or banjo takes flight.
