I do like that song but here's a question from a true novice banjo player. I'd like to install a strap on my openback banjo and was wondering which j hooks should be used for each end of the strap for the proper angle? Please advise and thanks.
Yeah, there's a great tab for the instrumental break of this tune on page 41 of the How and the Tao of old time banjo. If you don't have a copy it's available for free online.
I watch every one of your videos too, just for the entertainment. I do play acoustic, electric, dobro, lapsteel, jumbus, and ukulele. Wish I could fit the banjo in somewhere.
If you have an extra guitar, take the 6th and 5th strings off it now take another 1 string and put it in the place of the 5 string tune both the original 1 or e string and the newly placed e string down to d the other strings stay tuned the same as they were. At the 5th fret wedge something under the string that won't slip to serve as a "high tech" but cheap capo and now make sure it is a g. there you go now you can frail away banjoless for only the cost of a few strings.
I have no banjo at the moment but I have an old guitar so I must try this for two reasons I am left handed but I would like to try right hand to see if I can cope if I cannot then I will buy a lefty.Thks Sam
I plan to write you guys more in-depth in the future, but I want you to continue to know that you are doing a great job. These videos are invaluable to me, even without a banjo I watch them for the sheer joy of it. Thanks again.

Is there anyway to get the tabbed version of the melody? I am having trouble figuring it out myself.

Patrick looked genuinely distressed when he mentioned that he doesn't have the S1 yet; I feel your pain my friend.
