This is a popular fiddle tune based out of the C position. If you're just getting into flatpicking, or you're wanting to learn a new tune, this is a great version for you! Typically, bluegrass will be based out of the G position, so I like to learn songs in C to help expand our skills.

My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.
