Scruggs 'Home Sweet Home'

Great job, you’ve got it! There is one difference I do (and Earl does) that I think you’ll like, however. Most everything in a backward roll except one part. The first time you go up to the 10th frets, try a forward roll there then resume the backward after you come down.

Dude :slight_smile:

Thanks Ben, much appreciated, I will give that a go next practise. :+1:

That’s a fine sounding banjo.

Thanks! It’s a 2003 Gold star GF85, I love it. :wink:

Excellent! I have two 1981 Gold Stars and hope I never have to part with them.

Ooh lucky you. I’d love an 80’s gf100 with the gold fittings and maybe a kulesh tone ring. Think that would be my dream gold star. :grin:

I started working on this a few weeks ago when everyone was forced to stay home. :thinking: …Oh the irony… :grin:

Love the tune!

I’m working on the second banjo solo and get’n it up to speed as well. It seems to be most of the first banjo solo with the 3 C positions mixed in. I’m having Timing issues in the back up during the dobro solo… Mainly trying to figure out the best left hand positions…

That is good picking. I never noticed it before but Banjo Ben hats kind of look like the old Milwaukee Brewer hats.
