This is the opening banjo break to Blue Moon Rising's "Cold Kentucky Night". Justin Jenkins is their current banjo player ,but someone please correct me if he is not the one playing on this recording. It sounds pretty spot on, but as may be the case, it may not be exactly how he plays it. the curved arrows are chokes. In the 1st measure of line 4, it sounded like an inside backwards roll there, but if it doesn't feel or sound right, just replace the open 3rd string with an open 1st. This break has a good dash of single string strewn throughout and really adds to the stanke of the break. You need a good southern right hand to play this the way it sounds on the recording.
