I've done a basic version of the bluegrass classic, and had an overwhelming response to do an advanced version. Here it is! This is a great version because it really works in some melodic ideas while presenting the melody in a different way. I know you'll enjoy it!

Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
