About This Song
Cluck Old Hen is a classic old-time fiddle tune with deep Appalachian roots that's been a staple at jams for generations. While it uses five chords (A, C, D, E7, G) and has some modal flavor that makes it more interesting than your typical beginner tune, its repetitive structure and steady groove make it approachable for intermediate players.
