Here are two GREAT breaks for John Hardy! The first is a straight-ahead "Scruggs" style break that any level of picker would enjoy, and the second is a Bela Fleck inspired lead that really tickles yer ears!

    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.
