A good day to you all! I'm keen to try a two finger 5 string banjo song. I'm a reaaaal beginner! I've watched a couple of videos on YouTube by BanjoLogic, and I love his playing on I'll Fly Away, as well as the hymns he plays. Is there a similar tab available here? Or can you recommend another simple song to learn, so I can try and pick it up? I appreciate your time I reading this.
Regards
GS

Jan Olov has posted a lot of thumb lead/2 finger tabs here on the HO. I did a search and here is a list of the tabs he as posted.   A mix of styles and difficulty levels, so you'll have to pick tunes that fit your style and playing level.   I see a lot of the tabs are at the "intermediate" level, so you may need to wait awhile before you tackle them.

Thank you kindly, folks! I do appreciate your replies. I'm going to try that famous banjo song Frere Jacques for starters!

Look up Chris Berry on YouTube, and Alex Barth's 2ftl webpage has good, easy to follow tab

Jack Beuthin has a lot of 2F tabs on his forum page. Some are easier, some more advanced. All are fun to play. Also, look up Matt Brown’s web site, he’s got tabs and instructions.

Ah, sorry, Sean Barth. Alex Bath is someone else entirely :-)

Yup, I wondered who Alex Barry was!
