Rumor has it that "Turkey In The Straw" was the very first #1 radio hit in American history! As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather hear it over most the stuff on the radio nowadays as well! Check out this great version of a classic tune...enjoy both a low and high "up-the-neck" version as you learn a piece of American history.

Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
