The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Learn to play the syllables for "Walk on Boy" on the mandolin. You will play this song in a way that closely follows how Doc Watson sang this tune. The rhythm is a bit more complex. It's also a bit more interesting. Playing the syllables is a secret of the pros. It leads to more lyrical playing and mature "phrasing".
In the playback tab, engage the swing feel. This tune is most always played with some swing in the melody and solos. Because the rhythm is more complex, the picking pattern is as well. So, follow the suggested fret-hand fingerings and pick directions in the mandolin tablature. Up picks are on upbeats, and down picks are on down beats.

There are other approaches such as economy picking, but you should build a solid foundation before branching out.
