Rusty Cadillacs - Boll Weevil

Here's the first post of many showing you my band. We've been totally inspired by the sound of Old Crow Medicine Show and have covered many of their songs in the past. Boll Weevil is a nice catchy up-beat song that always goes down well. This is 2/3rds of the band performing it.

Wagon Wheel Guitar Chord Lesson

Wagon Wheel is one of the most well known Old Crow Medicine Show songs. It was started by Bob Dylan under the name of "Rock me Momma," but he never finished writing it. Old Crow found it and decided to add verses turning it into "Wagon Wheel."

Great ballad style song that's a must learn.

Poor Man Guitar Chord Lesson

Poor man is a well balanced soulful Old Crow Medicine Show song. I've always loved the lyrics and the key of the singing, although as you can probably tell I have a little difficulty pulling it off myself.

There is a great sliding sound that I use in this song, I show you how to do it. I've also some advanced tips for making it sound a little more country and bluegrass.

Cumberland Gap Guitar Chord Lesson

Cumberland gap is one of my favorite Old Crow Medicine Songs. Its fast paced and the melodies are extremely catchy, particularly the fiddle riff that repeats throughout.

The Chords are D, A and G. Its easy to play and this video shows you how!

Union Maid Guitar Chord Lesson

Union Maid by Old Crow Medicine Show is a fantastic upbeat song that is a must learn for any fan out there.

Its fairly simple and consists of only 4 chords. G, C, D and A. Getting the A right is probably the most tricky bit with this song.

At first you may also struggle with the tempo, but remember! Start off slow and build it up.

Boll Weevil Guitar Chord Lesson

Boll Weevil by the Old Crow Medicine Show is a great song for beginners as it only contains two chords, G and D. Most likely the only problem that you will have with this one is building up some speed with the strumming, but practice with a metronome and you'll get it fairly easily.
