Introducing "Don't Think Twice" one time with my band, I commented that I wasn't sure it was a bluegrass song, but that it must be because I heard Lester Flatt sing it. A reviewer singled it out as one of the best Flatt & Scruggs songs we played. I also like "Girl from the North Country," "One More Night," and quite a few others. Who can forget the F & S version of "It Ain't Me, Babe."

Believe it or not, "It Ain't Me Babe". I play it down in E or E-flat. Was watching that movie about Johnny Cash with Joaquin Phoenix where he and Resse Witherspoon did a rendition of the Johnny and June version of that tune. I got to thinking it might work on the banjo.

I found the other day that 'Mr Tambourine Man' works well in double C tuning.

Ani Difranco did an amazing version of "Most Of The Time" a later era 1980s Dylan tune and I sometimes try to pick on that. But most of my Dylan tunes stay on guitar.

Cruising thru the list already given, I did not see a Dylan tune that was on the list of ones they hate to hear requested.

Wagon Wheel (Old Crow Medicine Show merely expanded the tune).

to everyone saying dont think twice, I tried to learn it on guitar and it was the hardest thing ever. I wonder is it any easier on banjo?

The chord changes are the same whether you're playing the guitar, banjo, mandolin or piano.

I was never able to understand the guitar chords, but I find the changes on Don't Think Twice pretty easy on the banjo.

I can't honestly say I've tried it on a banjo, only guitar, but I would love to make sense of 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. Dylan has a cool way of playing it on guitar....

Happy pickin,
