Learn to play Groundspeed on the banjo - Scruggs Style. This version features that iconic descending phrase with some other great Scruggs style vocabulary. It's not quite as intricate as the Earl Scruggs transcription. That's a good thing. Using repeating patterns and vocabulary will make the basic arrangement more accessible, playable, and easier to understand. After getting a hang of the base arrangement, try out some licks to add in variations and embellishments.
Practice reading and listening. Repeated listening will help you memorize the proper timing and how this should sound. Reading and analyzing can help you get a "bird's eye view" of the whole song. When reading, try to identify banjo roll patterns, common Scruggs style vocabulary, and notice any repeating elements such as rolls, licks, or chord changes.
