Old video, but great tune! This is another one I didn't "grow up" playing, but it was requested by one of my viewers and I decided to tackle it head on. The effects of my time studying under the banjo great Alan Munde are evident in my rendition, and it's a finger twister for sure.

Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
