Fiddle tunes with fast-moving melodies can be a challenge on banjo, & the melodic approach helps us reach more notes than we might with Scruggs style. Let’s get east bound and down with melodic banjo!

Ben, I just love this song, its so fun. I have been working on Sailors Hornpipe and Devils Dream and those really helped me pick this one up faster than normal. Thanks.

Ben I have a question, this song seems easy to swing it but should I practice it evenly spaced 8th notes or should I swing it?

You should be able to do both on command, but the song needs to be swung when performed.
