Pateroller Song

Pateroller Song. Not sure how you pronounce it. My guess is that its a semi-literate spelling of "patroller," a reference to the slave catchers of the bad old days.

Pronounced "patty-roller" if you were still wondering. Great playing nontheless.

Thanks! Speaking of the farm, my first calf was born this morning. Her and her mother are both healthy. I'll have a video of it soon.

great tune! nicely played. Ive been playing a year now and get frustrated at my slow progress, especially drop thumbing. Hopefully after 3 years i'll be as quick and smooth as this...you give me hope. Cheers

Thanks! I don't do much drop thumb myself. Most of the time, you can get the same effect a lot easier with a phantom hammer-on or some other technique.

That's a very good description of banjo picking, I never really thought of it like that.
