"This is one of the first tunes that most people learn" just starting old time banjo how do I start this?

Futurenets, I recommend learning a version with the A part first, unlike me:) I would listen to recordings of it, zillions of times, and get it in your head. See if you can pick any of it out (the versions I'm learning are in D, Double C tuning capoed). Dan Levenson and Bob Carlin do a nice slow recording for learning purposes, but I'm realizing I need more ear-training at speed in this song.

thanks for response. I also found some tab on
books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZQ...p;f=false

anyone know what
double D tuning DADE (double C capo 2)
means?

I have that book with the recordings; it's great but remember that the A and B part are reversed there from what you typically hear. I recommend jumping on Spotify or something to find Dan Levenson playing Arkansas Traveler at full speed so that you can get the groove of the song before you slow it down for that tab (since Dan and Bob did the book so it's a similar interpretation). Double D tuning is just that - double C with a capo at the second fret.
Look at me all sounding like I know what I'm talking about! I'm a novice; other folks on this thread can give you more assistance, most likely.
