For this tune we have a Melodic and Backup arrangement. For the melodic arrangement you can use the difficulty slider if you need to make it a bit easier. Slowing down the tempo slider can make learning easier as well. It's always better to learn to play slow and clean first. There's several melodic licks to try out if you need some challenge or want to try something new. There's even a. couple Scruggs licks available so you can mix things up.

Don't neglect the Backup! It's so common for banjo players to learn a bunch of leads and not learn about backup. Then when they get in a jam session a realization hits - backup is important. When playing the others you need this as much or even more than your leads.
