Embarking on a crazy task

Howdy! I’m not a very good single string/melodic banjo player, beginner at most. and I decided to learn this version of Jerusalem Ridge. :flushed: May not be easy, but it will be all worth it in the end. Noam is an Awesome player! If Ya’ll got any tips or Advice or just wanna say something feel free! I know @Timothy_L (If I’m correct )has worked on Noam Pikelny version of Blueridge Cabin Home. So he’ll know how crazy Noam’s stuff can get. :joy:

The most important thing about melodic playing is making sure the right finger picks the right string. Sometimes it can be different than Scruggs style, like a middle finger on the second string or even a thumb on the first string.

Do you have a source for the proper fingering?

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
