About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

Lots of people have a banjo solo for this tune...but do they have a GOOD one?! I wrestled with this break for quite a while and I really like the finished product. It's not too hard to learn, but it's tasty enough to hold its own on any stage or jam there is. Get to pickin'!

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.
