I was struck with neuropathy last January & have since struggled with clawhammer & with flatpicking, but after seeing a video on two finger ( ground hog day) style, well learned the song & it's something I think will work, very thankful.

I don't remember whether he plays it on banjo or guitar, but it fits nicely in thumb lead style in G tuning. The first four notes are 3rd string open, 4th string at 4th fret, 3rd string open, 4th string open.

If you visit when they aren't busy they'll probably show you gratis. Nerve Glides really help with pain issues and playing difficulties.
