Here is one of my favorite tunes, Big Spike Hammer. This banjo lesson will only be available for FREE for a limited time. I’ve always enjoyed watching Ron Block pick this tune.
In this lesson you’ll learn a cool pull-off taking you from the “G” chord to an “E minor”. Then you’ll learn which not to add to lead you from the E to a C. This is a fun lesson. Be prepared to learn a hard driving banjo break.
Watch closely and you’ll learn some powerful banjo playing secrets, like how to bend the 4th string to add flavor to your break.

I would probably use Earls book if your want to get technical but you need to be able to play both depending on your jam. Thanks, Ryan
Ok. I’ll check it for you. Very likely is a slow connection speed.
Hey Ryan:
What form do you opine Cumberland Gap should be called for in a jam:
Most tab (and instructional materials) use AABBAA, 24 bars total.
Earl’s book seems to suggests 12 bars for the first A, 32 bars total?
