Strumming Old Time Standards

Not sure if I’ll phrase this correctly but is there a song/tab reference for strumming old time standards (e.g. You Are My Sunshine, She’ll Be Coming Around The Mountain, etc.) that a beginner may be able to play ?

Hi Steve, From memory not sure if @BanjoBen has anything like that on the site. Pete Wernick Dr Banjo had a video tape I think it was called Get Rolling which ironically didn’t cover much on playing rolls but simply strummed through a few chords of a bunch of one and two chord songs. Not very inspiring. I DO NOT recommend you purchase this.

Better to go visit Country Road TV channel on You Tube and try to strum along with the bands. A good exercise in finding Key Signatures. Book Mark this link

Don’t forget my PickAlong lessons that I add to from time to time (like I did today): https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/filters/collections:pick-along
