The song made famous in the movie “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” This song helped a resurgence in the popularity of bluegrass music and brought the banjo to a whole new generation of people.
This is a must know tune for any bluegrass jammer so I’ve compiled a beginner version that will work as a kick-off or break to the song. I’ve included two solos so you’ll have plenty of licks and ideas to choose from. I love playing bluesy tunes on the banjo and this song has something to learn in it regardless of where you’re at in your playing.

I love learning from Mike! His teaching method is very to follow in that he breaks the tunes down measure by measure, explaining, and showing, placement of both hands. The additional source files are terrific and appreciate how he takes licks and/or techniques from a particular tune and teaches, in a separate video, how to implement them in other tunes.
