We're re-issuing one of Chris's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Chris: 

This month we're going to return from instrumentals back to the land of song. The song, Banks of the Ohio, is a classic psychologically twisted murder ballad. It's also musically beautiful. The juxtaposition between beautiful, happy sounding music and sad, dark lyrics is a hallmark of bluegrass and traditional music.

Notice the perfect simplicity of the melody. It's a big part of the reason this song has been around for 125+ years.
