Wagon Wheel

by Old Crow Medicine Show • Lesson #9 • Nov 17, 2013

Editor’s Notes

This video will teach you how to play Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show on acoustic guitar. This will also work for the Darius Rucker version, which uses the exact same chords. Note I’ll be using a capo on 2nd fret, which lets you use easy chords throughout this song (G-D-Em-C). I hope you find it helpful!
