I remember learning this tune as a kid, but only recently imagining it as a bluegrass tune. We'll learn a very basic "low" version that has some interesting single-string picking, then we'll move up the neck for a jazzy, syncopated rendition!

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
