I've been playing this song for 10 months, another Pankey student, but hearing your unique intro to it is an incredible bit of variety to find. It's super simple too, just using the triple slide in the other "part" of the song as an opener. You've earned a subscriber.

Very easy and sounds really good. This is the best version I've found also. I think I like your versions so much because you appreciate the twang like I do. The slides, Hammer ons, pull offs, all what I love about the banjo.

Papaw used to sing me to sleep with the original words. Which is why I learned this first.

I like how you put up the actual sheet music in the top instead of just tab becuase I read 🎼 music so it helps

Could you please do a turtorial on mountain banjo from rdr2?

[jheathma]

Good video. Is there anyway you could do a slower video on the parts from 1:35 to 1:45? there is a lot going on there and despite replaying it over and over, I can't seem to catch it.

[mattjackson]

when you slide 2/3, do you get the open string with it? i cant hear it in the video.

[alexisjones]

Im curious, I've been learning this out of the scruggs book and your version is a bit different. Why do you prefer the 2-3 slide instead of the 2-4 slide?
Also I hope I can get this fast soon

I really love this, but I'm struggling with the 2nd part, it looks like there's more notes than it sounds? Am I missing something?
