This classic old-time tune works great on bluegrass banjo, and is sometimes heard in bluegrass jam circles. You can learn this one in a few different styles - Melodic, Melodic Up the Neck, and Single String.

If you are practicing the Melodic versions you should definitely warm up with G major melodic scales and workouts. Do this consistently. It will really help you improve faster. Don't aim for speed with your scales. Go for clean notes without buzzes, good tone. Go for good timing at very slow speeds at first. Clean and slow is better practice that fast and sloppy most of the time.

Try some single string warmups and scales as well if you start working on the single string version of Shove That Pig's Foot.
