About This Song
Arkansas Traveler is a classic old-time fiddle tune in the key of D that's found its way into countless bluegrass jams. With just three chords (D, G, and A—the 1-4-5 of the key), it's one of the more accessible tunes in the bluegrass repertoire and a great choice for newer players joining their first jam sessions.
This tune features a playful, bouncing melody that works well at moderate to fast tempos. It's a staple at jam sessions and a fun tune for working on your boom-chuck rhythm or taking your first crack at playing a break.
