Notes: This is probably my favorite banjo instrumental. written by Richard Underwood, the original banjo player for The Johnson Mountain Boys. I think the beauty is in the straight forward simplicity of the tune. |

This is relatively easy but such a riot to play. A video of the Johnson Mountain Boys playing this song is on youtube and I highly recommend you listen to this song at the very least. |

I agree with liuaimi - the JMB clip is what sent me here - That Tom Adams is a stone cold killer!
Have any of you clever banjo maniacs got a tab for the up the neck stuff he does (likewise, can anyone tell me how I can learn how to play it anywhere near the speed he plays it?!?) |

Thats not exactly how he plays it on the clip, he uses the 6th fret of the B string to play the strong F note at the beginning. |
