In this lesson

Christmastime is here again, and this year we're learning a great, familiar carol with a couple tricks thrown in! Toward the end of this one, we go into a banjer pickers favorite tune, Foggy Mountain Breakdown! Merry Christmas!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
