This arrangement for John Hardy is a transcription of his playing from his album "Dueling Banjos". This is the opening break of the tune.


Listen. Read. Do that each time before you play. Analyze. What rolls is he using? Do you hear or see standard licks? This is important. It gives you insight into how Earl thought. It also helps you recognize hard sections or unfamiliar "language" that might need extra study and practice. Listening also helps you to internalize and maybe even memorize the song and licks.


This one is form quite a bit later in his career. It's very interesting to hear how his playing and playing choices varied over the years.
