By The Soggy Bottom Boys. By Carter Stanley and Ralph Stanley. Arranged by C. Ammel. This edition: pdf. Country, Film/TV, Folk, Traditional. Individual part. 4 pages. C. Ammel #1263335. Published by C. Ammel (A0.1698774).I am a Man of Constant Sorrow became a sensation as the theme song to the movie, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" but is actually a traditional fold song first published by Dick Burnett in 1913. Versions of this song date back even further to the mid 1800s.
I would describe my arrangement as similar to bluegrass banjo picking style. I rate this song as intermediate fingerstyle since it is played completely in the 1st position and has no barre chords but does require a fair amount of hammer-ons and pull-offs. Since it is played in an upbeat tempo it is probably best played in cut time after learning the piece.
