yo, you have the basic melody, but since this is earl's song, i will tell you this:

on the second 2-3 slide, use your thumb. not your index finger. that second slide is supposed to get the emphasis.

also, going into E-minor, you've got a 3-2 slide on the third string. play it that way and see how it sounds.

Thanks for the tip :) I'll try it!

Thanks Anthony- the video has helped me get that hammer on just a bit crisper and a I am getting the rythmn of the song much better now. One day soon it will sound like music. You are a good teacher!

Hello.

Don't be discouraged by that rather harsh criticism. I think it's a good lesson that you did, so thanks

I am a guitar play who is trying to learn how to play the banjo like it is supposed to be play. You video finally filled in the blanks for me on this song and how to play it all the way through.

Great to see young people know what real music is. I wish you the best and know that you are going to really excel at this as you go forward. Nice video and lesson.

Hi Antony:

Very nice and detailed explanation of your Foggy Mountain Breakdown.

In the video you have your only 15, I some more, only 66.

30 days ago I bought my first banjo, and how to play the piano well, and some guitar, and play Scruggs-style rolls well.

Congratulations to teach rather slow and step by step this issue.

You've done other videos?

If so please kindly keep me know.

From Buenos Aires Argentina a very cordial greeting, José Luis.

Goed hoor Antony, petje af.

Ik volg de Murphy Henry Method, ik haat tabs en playing by ear gaat me beter af. Hoe ben jij begonnen met de banjo? Ken je Fred Hissink?

Dag,

groetjes uit Florida.
