This melody is based on the way Carter Stanley sang the tune with the Stanley brothers. This one is all about playing the syllables. That's why it's called "syllabic", which means "of the syllables". Listen with the Tunefox player and the original recording as a regular part of practice. Pay attention to the banjo tablature. Closely follow the markings for pick direction and fret hand fingering.


If you can sing or speak this in time with the Tunefox player it will help you more accurately play it on your guitar with correct timing. Check out the licks and add in some slides to amp up the style, accentuate that vocal quality. Once you get comfortable with slides it can even make this thing a bit easier to pick!
