Sorry for the delay in response….are you still having trouble?
You’ll see the tab on the left side of the lesson page under a link that says “Lesson Tabs.”
If you’re still having trouble accessing it let me know and I can email it to you if needed.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll do my best to be more clear and not speak too fast.
If the video is moving too fast for you at a certain point you can adjust the speed and slow it down slightly, that might help you see what’s going on.
Or you can send me the timestamp of the part where you’re having trouble and I can take a look and I will do my best to clarify for you.
Best,
MikeIt looks like you purchased the tab-tracks only version which is why you’re no longer seeing the video.
Shoot me an email at mike@mikeheddingmusic.com if you want to get access to the video.

Yes, that’s a tricky lick for sure.
I’d try practicing just the right hand picking pattern on it’s own first.
Or you can also substitute that lick for another or a simplified version.

If you don’t have that many frets on your banjo I’d recommend trying to play the B Part in the lower octave.
You might have to rework it slightly but if you just subtract 12 frets from each number listed in the tab I provided you’ll see where the notes would be in the lower octave.
If you still have questions let me know.

There’s the mandolin playing the solo at the beginning and I added a mandolin chop throughout for rhythm.
You can either play along with the mandolin at the beginning if you want to try and mimic the solo or start right after the mandolin is done if you want to try playing the solo on your own.
Either way will be good practice.

Measure 3:
Beat 1 is a half note so you’d count it as
1 (2) 3 and
So the half note takes up Beats 1 and 2 and the last two 8th notes are beats 3 and.
If you still have questions please let me know.

Sorry for the confusion. I separated that section into it’s own lesson so I could go into further detail.
You can find it here:

You use railroad spikes or a 5th string capo to capo the 5th string.
You can check out this lesson for a more detailed explanation:

Yes, you’ve got it!
Definitely takes a little bit to wrap your head around.
But understanding how and when to use a capo will allow you to play in new keys while keeping that classic banjo rolling sound.
If you have any other questions let me know.
– Mike
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks Tony!
I can do some more slow hymns like this. If you’ve got any that you really enjoy let me know and I can work something up.

George,
The fifth string should be tuned to A for this song. Not G, which would clash with the harmony.
If you want, you can try playing it with no capo at all, just standard G tuning gDGBD.
You’ll hear how it’s supposed to sound and then you can add the capo to the 2nd fret and tune the 5th string to A and it should sound the same just up a whole step.
If you’re still having trouble let me know.

Nice! Yes, adding those extra little ornaments (hammer-ons, slides, pull-offs) really bring out the vocal quality of the melody.
