This is one of the most popular pickin' circle tunes of all time, and this version is sure to get your fingers workin' to the bone. I love sticking the melody in the front seat and letting it drive, but that doesn't mean it can't bring its crazy friends along for the ride. If you need an updated, spicy version of this classic or just diving in for the first time, you'll enjoy this acrobatic endeavor.

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
