About Bicycle Built For Two

GW: Composed in 1892 by Harry Dacre, an Englishman. This turn-of-the-century standard is played in standard tuning, key of C, with the tonic C chord often played with the fifth note, G, in the bass. This was also common in the blues guitar tradition – the playing of the fifth (or the third) of the chord as the bass note while muting it with the side of the right hand. Possibly Fahey was inspired to record this by hearing Merle Travis’s turbocharged fingerpicked version back in the 1950s. .
