I like this song and tried a few times to play it by ear, but I wasn't able too. I got a bit impatient with this song and am now interested in the tab if someone can help. It is not a popular song, so I understand if there is not interest in tabbing it.

It can be heard here for free:

It's a great quest, keep going. I can't help you.
She uses other medodic forms and mixes and matches to taste. She's fluent, you already get that.
The message is keeping on the Sunny Side.

I'm a big fan of hers, she's played at our volunteer venue 3 times.
Perhaps reach out to the artist.

Hi @idkhowtoplay, thanks for sharing that tune. I like Mary James's music too. I found a video of this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9DsunDCZwHs. YouTube has a playback feature that lets you play the video at a slower tempo at the original pitch. I listened to it at 50% and was able to pick out some of the banjo part. I transcribed 8 bars of it in MuseScore and attached a PDF. I worked out some right-hand fingerings, but you might prefer to work it out a different way. As with a lot of Mary's music, this one would be difficult for me to play. She makes it sound so easy! Anyway, maybe this might help you with it.

She's tuned down 2 frets playing three parts with these chords:
