Joy to the World, the Lord is Come! To me, there are no sweeter words in the world! This is the "jazzy" version that I...um, I mean, Banjo Billy...played in the viral YouTube video. This one has lots of cool licks in it, and it's sure to warm Grandma's heart this Christmas!

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.

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