This was very nice...reminds me of some of the Bach stuff that makes you wonder if the one who wrote the music didn't do it for banjo, then switch to guitar because it fits the banjo really well. You're being too hard on the folks who'd like to see your fingerings...we're just a little lazy...and start from different talent levels!
@tuckytunes Maybe I am a little harsh with it, but I just feel that tablature can be such a crutch that it slows down your development, rather than encourage you to learn. When I've tutored people in the past I always encourage them to try and learn by ear - even if they're just taking a wild guess at the note(s) it's changing their hearing to an active element of their musicianship, and adds a sense of ownership to a song
@thekev506 Couldn't agree more. Tabs are a trap! I've been addicted to tabs since '97, but haven't learned the name to a single chord or string until last month when I picked up an ukulele!
@7markosmezza7 yeah that's definitely got to be one of my favourite football shirts of all time, though Everton's home shirt from this season is pushing it out a little :P
hey i think it sounds really cool!! its my familys favourite song to sing when they are drunk. im just starting out learning so still clinging onto my tabs.a i want to learn some new stuff not all the old red neck stuff can you send me the tab or tell me where to find it. really cool! thanks x i realise lots of people have asked but im gunna ask again cause its mint!
right on, I like how you play by ear. Anyone can read sheet music and repeat enough times to play faster and make a song, playing by ear is playing music, hearing music. Right on, good job and keep up the good work.
This is not the actual solo you're playing. In the original song, the solo starts on the 5th, and you're starting it on the minor third. Don't get me wrong, I mean it still works - you're following the chord changes, but you're doing sort of a harmonized variation on it.
I read music, tab, and have been playing by EAR mostly all my life. However, sometimes you just cant find it, and need to SEE it. I'm 56 years old. Been there done that. But thanks anyway.
Oh man, you're awesome!!!!!! Thanks so much for putting this video on here. First video I've seen of someone playing it good. My teacher gave me the chords but I think with this video I can collaborate my chords with the notes. Cheers! :]

not anybody. One does need immense practice for sight reading. And it is a good quality. But yes, noway better than playing by ear.

He never said it's the solo. Next time you comment on something, try staying on point. (Too much wine, maybe)?

Actually, observationman, he DOES say that it's the solo, at 1:50 in the video:
"just copying the original solo, figured it out by ear."
Perhaps you should learn to observe better before calling yourself, "observationman".
