Excellent. BTW the brunette playing the mandolin has a pretty smile.

It is about time I hear Foggy Mountain Breakdown being played slowly so that I can practice more evenly. I can play the first break of the song, but I play it very sloppy. I can now follow Murphy and learn to play FMB more slowly. Thank you for sharing. The three ladies were having a wonderful time.

Pretty sure Lester was playing an E major chord over the E minor part. Listen to it.

[caseyhenry]

@Bardspics You are correct. Six beats, in fact, of E major. I absolutely love the sound of that!

[Bardspics]

@caseyhenry

It provides a neat tension.  ;)

[moproducer]

@Bardspics A lot of us oldtimers prefer the E minor chord.

[daveycard]

very useful! I'm just learning the banjo and this is the right and this is just what I needed.

[caseyhenry]

Hi Murphy,

I learned Banjo with your help along time ago. Back with your cassette tapes , I still have them.

[caseyhenry]

Not that old...early sixties I think?

[missystu]

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I hate to single anybody out, but there is something about your "Martin" that I love. Is it quite old?
