My banjo instructor wrote down tablature for this down the neck part for me to learn. I'm actually just learning from you so I hope he doesn't notice any discrepancies. Ha.

It's interesting how when broken down it barely sounds like the song, just the way banjo sounds.
Awesome to see this is the anatomy behind such a catchy talented and fast piece of music

This is the correct way of playing Foggy Mountain. The other two guys on YouTube have wrong fingering on one and dumbed down licks on both. Great job. I knew there was something wrong with the other videos.

Just started learning this with my banjo teacher. He uses a slightly different arrangement but its similar enough that this video will help me a lot. 6 months ago I never thought I'd be able to learn FMB.

I’m a guitarist and I recently started listening to bluegrass and it’s really great I could listen to the banjo in foggy mountain breakdown all day and still love it

This one's kicking my butt man, I got it down and can keep up with you if I play it at 75% speed, but anything past that is nothing short of climbing a (foggy) mountain to me. But I'll get there!! Thanks for the tab!!

I can’t wait to learn this! I’m taking a family vacation to Gatlinburg and I think this one will be perfect to learn for bonfire times!!

Great vid Mason, well done ! I've not done a lot banjo-wise for a few weeks, but it definitely makes me want to get going again, so thanks a lot for that ! Cheers Steve :0)

Great tutorial man, it's great to see others the same age as me interested in this instrument and music!
