This is a jam standard. Make sure to get down the basic Scruggs and Backup style arrangements. Try some licks for both of them to get some variation. When you are able to, practice along with the Tunefox player. Don't just play once through. Try to get through 5 or more times without stopping. Practice at whatever speed works for you. Remember, slow and steady is always gonna be better than fast and sloppy. Get the song down with steady timing and try to increase speed a bit at a time.



The Melodic arrangement is great for intermediate and advanced players. There's some really cool licks to switch in as well.
