In his Pickin’ column, guitarist Alan Barnosky tends to focus on classic repertoire, but for this lesson, he breaks down a modern fiddle tune, “The Locktender’s Reel,” by Portland, Oregon–based jazz guitarist Eric Skye. See the May/June 2024 issue (available at store.acousticguitar.com) for the backstory on this lovely composition, as well as a transcription based on Skye’s recording with mandolinist Tim Connell.
