About This Song

Beaumont Rag is a classic fiddle tune strongly associated with the legendary flatpicker Doc Watson. It's a challenging piece that rewards intermediate to advanced players. The tune starts off-tonic on A7 and includes rests that require careful attention to timing. While demanding, it offers plenty of room for personal expression and stylistic variation in your breaks.
