Genre: Bluegrass / Playing Style: Backing Track
"Mississippi Sawyer" is a traditional 'Old Time' instrumental tune from Europe, originally titled: "The Downfall of Paris." The song is better known in the American South and among American fiddlers as "Mississippi Sawyer." As usual, I used Dave Hum's YouTube video as a template to make my backing track. Dave uses an interesting tuning (aDGBD). It is a G chord with an added 9th note (the A). So I guess you could call it the G9th Tuning. Just capo the fifth string on the 7th fret.
