The third song in the Cannonball Rag/Doc's Guitar/Blue Smoke medley! Blue Smoke is by far the easiest song to learn, but getting to Tommy's mindblowing tempo will take a long time for everyone (including me!). Tommy's version only partly resembles the original by Merle Travis, and Tommy's version is built for speed!

Part 1: Intro & verse 1
Part 2: Bridge 1
Part 3: Verse 2, 3 & 4
Part 4: Bridge 2 & ending
