“St. Anne’s Reel” is a traditional French-Canadian tune in the public domain that was made popular by Joseph Allard in the 1930s. This song was originally played on the fiddle but it has become a favorite flatpicking tune of guitarists at bluegrass jams.

In this bluegrass guitar lesson, you’ll learn how to play a traditional melody for “St. Anne’s Reel” on guitar. We’ll work through two different flatpicking guitar arrangements with tablature. The first guitar arrangement will be played at a higher octave and it will work up the guitar neck on the B and E strings. The second flatpicking guitar arrangement has a nice low-pitched sound that will turn some heads at your next bluegrass jam. After you learn the bluegrass guitar breaks, practice your bluegrass flatpicking over our “St. Anne’s Reel” backing track in D.
