[@sober-southoftheborderever3591]

Thank you so much for all your teaching and time you give us as a beautiful, kind and generous gift!

I have returned to this tune after a twelve month, and miraculously during this time it must have been subconsciously sinking in AS success! I can play it, so with this in mind I have revisited all the tunes I have learnt through Bills videos and WOW they have all sunk in ! I have been and do practice everyday, rolls slides, hammer ons , and bits of tunes, foggy mountain etc trying to build speed ( driving my wife mad) but now! Re discovering those early tunes I tried to learn it’s like something has just clicked, any one else found this? That leaving things for a good while, when going back to it , it’s just there? , I just love it, thank you Bill for your videos and all the supporting stuff you provide, regards

In the words of TINA TURNER "simply the best" Thanks Bill.

Hi! I just want to thank you for your amazing teaching-techniques. The way you explain makes playing the banjo more interesting, cause' you make it look simple and fun. Many other banjo-players sometimes "overdo" tunes I beleive... Also, the fact that you teach us your knowledge about the banjo for free (including tabs) is just great! Thank you once again!

[@mikefinley4367]

Interesting and fun version, thanks for sharing. You taught a lesson you may not have intended, thanks.

[@thomas7johns]

Thank you Bill...this tab is the best I've come across! I really enjoy your lessons and the melody you produce on this song is almost hypnotic. I will try to be as good!

[@bartholomewblack33]

[@ohhmymegan]

[@EmilioArroyoFoto]

precioso, me encanta. Estoy aprendiendo mucho con tu trabajo. No consigo encontrar un vídeo con la segunda parte de tu tablatura, está en algún sitio? gracias

[@johntait491]

Another excellent lesson Bill. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to producing these great videos. ;-)

[@Transrebal2nd]

Cant wait to get started thanks!!!

[@dakotawhite7951]

really enjoying your lessons. do you think you might do clinch mountain backstep or mountain dew?

[@keypicker]

Hey Bill your lessons are great!! Very easy to follow, but very cool up to speed. I notice that it seems like you play light-ish gauge strings... Seems like that gets the best "bluegrass" sound. You agree, or am I off the mark?

[@williamanesbitt]

I use the GHS Crowe set, "Stage" gauge. 10, 11, 12, 20, 10... pretty light.

[@ppessa]

Thank you so much for the post

[@branman399]

A little late to the party, but on the tab posted on your website, there's a second part! Do you have a video of you playing this?

[@rogerhudson192]

Hi, Bill. Another excellent lesson! By the way, do you have anything on vamping, fills or backup playing? Thanks again, keep' um coming

[@mrgroovestring]

Oh man, this is a good lesson. What year is your RB75 that your playing? Thanks for the help

[@williamanesbitt]

It's just a parts banjo with an RB-75 neck... the rim and resonator are Kalamazoo and the ring is Blaylock. Rest is Gibson parts. Glad you enjoyed!

[@mrgroovestring]

Thanks a lot. I have a '97 Gibson parts banjo myself, that's why I was asking. Yours is a good one. I put a RB75 neck, Cox rim, Huber HR30 tone ring and a Fults tailpiece on mine several years ago. It is a stud hoss!! LOL Thanks again

[@kevingallagher9309]

Great lesson!

[@stefanhuegin8292]

Why not 1st play through the tune, so one can listen to the whole before it’s taken into parts … that do not connect? 😊

[@germcgrath7]
