This up the neck melody for Dooley on the banjo is a lot of fun. It's all on the first string which makes it very achievable. We suggest you learn this by picking all the notes with your middle finger, since you'll use that when playing Scruggs style up the neck. However, if you just want to play the melody for fun you can pick it with your thumb too. You'll get a really strong sound and good tone that way too.


It's important to learn this before playing Scruggs style up the neck so you know where those important melody notes are.
