Here’s a great old song, originally written in 1876, adapted for the banjo. This is a great song to practice bringing out the melody and learning to use harmonics. This is one of those songs that sounds great played fast or slow so I’ve included four different speeds for practice.

Mike delivers an excellent “package”! His lessons are direct and to the point. I like the fact that you can purchase as little as one song at a time at very affordable price. Lessons also includes, full screen video of right hand and left hand as well as the tab embedded in the screen. Mike will walk/talk you through the entire tune as he plays at a slow enough speed, making it easy to follow. Highly recommended!
