Notes: This is my most recent interpretation of Bobby Thompson's 2nd break on the Jim and Jesse recording from the early 1960s. Note that the melody is played in more of a single string style rather than melodic style, though it could be played pretty closely using a melodic style. Bobby was good at single string and melodic style (as well as Scruggs style).
