Earl's Breakdown

Here is Earl's Breakdown at a modest speed so it's easily digestible. A good performance tempo would be between 130-140 bpm.

i remember seeing Earl do that trick with the tuner on an old video from the grand ole oprey or something. crazy next level stuff! must take some finnesse to keep it in tune. great video

[axegas]

thank you.  I put the videos in half speed and then build up from it, then tabs from the Scruggs book.   After couple of years of trying finally I'm figuring out the bluegrass feeling.

This video helped me more than anything else in learning how to play the song just like Earl. Would love one on "Dear Old Dixie, " my next song to learn. Thank you!

It's easy if you have Keith tuners.

Good job man!! Nice and clean. I just threw up some off the cuff banjo picking for shits and giggles. Check it out if ya want. The videos called banjo picking. Go figure. Haha

Would this be considered beginner level?
