Sorry I don’t have the backup part I played tabbed out as that’s almost never played the same way twice.
I break down the techniques I used to play backup in the backup video that’s included with the lesson.
I break down how to play the solo which has the tab in the other videos.
Best,
MikeWhich part doesn’t sound the same to you? Are you sure you’re listening to the same version as the tab you’re looking at since there’s multiple versions of this song?
The tab is just for the lead part for this song.
Is your nail on your middle finger long? If your nail is too long, it will make doing that C chord very difficult.
If not, it’s most likely just the angle of your hand. I’d recommend starting the C with just your first and third finger and once you get that sounding clear try adding your second finger without changing the position of your hand.

That’s the classic Foggy Mountain Roll so that’s why I did it that way.
The way you’re playing it would also work just fine too.

This song is tricky because the words are very stretched out.
Here’s an image with the first verse above so you can see how the melody and lyrics fit together.
All my arrangements must be played exactly as I wrote them!
Totally kidding of course.
Yes, the 5th string might sound a little dissonant if you play it too loud in measure 31.
You could totally leave it out if you want as long as you keep the timing the same it will work out correctly.
I’m glad you’re making the arrangement your own and building up the confidence to take out the parts that you don’t like. That means you’re building your own style as a player which is excellent. Keep it up!

There’s a backup lesson for this tune you can check out. I don’t normally tab out the backup parts as I’d rarely if ever play it the same way twice.
I don’t remember saying I tabbed out a backup part but if I misspoke I apologize.
Check out the backup video part of the lesson and if you have any questions let me know and I’ll assist if I can.

If you go back to the Lesson Page for this lesson you’ll see the tabs on the right side of the page under “Lesson Tabs.”
You can click that link to open the tab.
If you have any other questions let me know.
Thanks.

Sweet!
Start with building a solid foundation and that’ll make learning all your songs easier.
If you have any other questions after checking out the lessons just let me know.

MikeClint only recorded this one at one speed so I don’t have multiple speeds for this song.
But if you want to slow down the track you can slow down the video and play along with the intro.
Click the “gear” icon in the bottom right corner of the video and you can change the playback speed.
If you have any other questions let me know.
Best,
MikeI’d check out the Mastering The Forward Roll lesson. That might be helpful to you.
You likely just need more practice playing your thumb on the off-beats (which is tricky).
Check out that lesson as it has lots of syncopated rolls where your thumb will be playing on different beats.
Count it out loud and you’ll get it with practice. Keep picking.

I just released this lesson per your request. I hope you find it helpful. – Mike
