Here is "Jerusalem Ridge." I'm playing it in G because I haven't installed a railroad spike on this new banjo yet. So anyway, here it is. I don't play it very fast, but it's the best I can do. Thanks, and I'll take this opportunity to introduce myself—I started playing 3 years ago and I really love the banjo!

Sounds great. Good job and congrats on the new axe. As far as playing tempo, slow and steady is always better than fast and choppy.

I am not seeing a link either. Maybe it’s an iPhone issue?

Very good picking. No apology about playing it not to tempo. One needs to learn it slow first, then worry about speed.

Lots of tunes are played fast or too fast. Trying them at a slower pace often produces a more pleasant less frantic effect. I like JR played at that tempo.

Sounds great. Tempo is just right. Thanks for posting!
