Turkey In The Straw
advanced banjo
This lesson is for members
This is a perfect blend of Scruggs-style and melodics, tied up neatly in a tune we all know and love! Like most fiddle tunes, this one has two A parts and two B parts, so there's lots of creative freedom in building your own breaks from the parts I offer. Enjoy this one, and don't forget the gravy!

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

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.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.
