Some of the key concepts being used in this tune are lead in runs using the pentatonic scale, and a slightly syncopated melody at the start of each measure. Lead in phrases are a key part of bluegrass music and fiddle tunes. The pentatonic scale is one of the most widely used scales in the world. It's simple, effective and capable of beautiful and magical music. Syncopation means playing on the off beats. Make sure you know the basic melody well so you can hear the difference here.
Practicing the pentatonic scale and doing scale workouts will help you to amp up your dexterity. Make scale work a regular part of practice and practice the scales in the same key of whatever songs you are learning. Also, check out the licks to see how you could play these lead in phrases with slurs. A musical slur is simply a hammer-ons, pull-offs or slides.
