A straight ahead interpretation of the fiddle melody, this song is a workout in the Key of C! I wrote this arrangement to show how to play a melody in the Key of C without retuning the banjo. A great exercise in transitioning from down the neck to up the neck. Watch the tab closely as the 5th string is used to play the melody, a common tool in melodic banjo playing.

Rated 5 out of 5
Mike’s video lessons are exceptionally clear and easy to follow. Every step needed to learn a new song or master a new technique is explained carefully, one step at a time. In my opinion, that’s essential not only for beginners but also for players who already have some experience with the instrument.
